Features: This book employs numerous examples to introduce methods and techniques for product design and modeling using Pro/ENGINEER, combining theory with practice. The content progresses from basic to advanced concepts, first introducing general concepts of product design and the Pro/ENGINEER working environment, followed by the product design process and the fundamentals of 3D modeling in Pro/ENGINEER. Subsequently, it provides a detailed and comprehensive explanation of 3D solid modeling, surface modeling, and the methods for establishing datum. Building on this foundation, the book covers product form design and Pro/ENGINEER modeling techniques, using examples such as a mineral water bottle, keys, and a teacup to demonstrate how to create 3D models using solid modeling features. After mastering solid modeling, the book illustrates the application of surface modeling in product design with examples like a mouse, a faucet, a hairdryer, a soccer ball, and a streamlined car, and uses Pro/ENGINEER’s built-in rendering controls to render the product examples. Finally, it introduces human-machine design concepts and Pro/ENGINEER measurement analysis. The book is rich in content, highly targeted, and highly operational, making it an ideal resource for working engineering professionals in industrial design and mechanical fields with some Pro/ENGINEER foundation, industrial design enthusiasts, as well as college students and graduate students working on graduation projects. It can also serve as a training textbook for Pro/ENGINEER training courses.
