Fundamentals Of Engineering Drawing For Design Product Development And Numerical Control

Engineering Drawing and Design, combines engineering graphics and drafting in one accessible product. Technical drafting, like all technical areas, is constantly changing; the computer has revolutionized the way in which drawings and parts are made. This 4-color text covers the most current technical information available, including graphic communication, CAD, functional drafting, material positioning, numerical control, electronic drafting, and metrication, in a manner useful to both the instructor and student. The authors synthesize, simplify, and convert complex drafting standards and procedures into understandable instructional units.

This new edition highlihgts the intergration of computer graphics with conventional drawing. For mechanical and civil engineers, and all those interested in the fundamentals of engineering drawing.

The Manual of Engineering Drawing has long been the recognised as a guide for practicing and student engineers to producing engineering drawings and annotated 3D models that comply with the latest British and ISO Standards of Technical Product Specifications and Documentation. This new edition has been updated to include the requirements of BS8888 2008 and the relevant ISO Standards, and is ideal for International readership; it includes a guide to the fundamental differences between the ISO and ASME Standards relating to Technical Product Specification and Documentation. Equally applicable to CAD and manual drawing it includes the latest development in 3D annotation and the specification of surface texture. The Duality Principle is introduced as this important concept is still very relevant in the new world of 3D Technical Product Specification.
