Computer Aided Design and Computer Aided Manufacturing does not need any introduction as a subject. It is an integral part of the manufacturing industries as computers have made substantial change in their working.
This book is aimed at providing the material related to CAD/CAM in such a way so as to allow the student and the practicing engineer to appreciate the application of these technologies in the real world. The first edition of the book has enjoyed popularity with students and teachers alike. Predominant coverage of the applications aspect makes the new edition of this book a unique offering on the subject.
The topics are well structured and bifurcated into sub-topics to increase the understanding. Technical terms
have been used without conciliating on the reader-friendly attribute of the text. A methodical approach has
been followed by first outlining the objective in the beginning of each chapter. The concepts in each chapter
are explained in a very comprehensive and coherent manner substantiated effectively with the help of solved
examples, figures and photographs; and exercise problems. The contents of the chapter are summarised at
the end which enables quick and handy revision. Thus, this edition has been thoroughly revised and updated
in order to remain in conformity with the course requirements and provide the recent and contemporary
technological progress in the respective areas.
