Book Description
Computers are a closed book to many of the older generations of model engineers, despite the fact that more than one-third of all British households now have a personal computer. By taking one step at a time, the computer can soon be tamed and turned into a versatile drawing tool with many advantages over traditional draughting methods. Derek Brown's demonstrations and lectures on the subject at various model engineering exhibitions over the past few years have proved very popular. In this book he seeks to strip away the mystique surrounding the subject by avoiding jargon and providing practical advice on how to choose the right system and to make progress with it.

Book Description
The book discusses the theoretical fundamentals of CAD graphics to enhance readers’ understanding of surface modeling and free-form design by demonstrating how to use mathematical equations to define curves and surfaces in CAD modelers. Additionally, it explains and describes the main approaches to creating CAD models out of 3D scans of physical objects. All CAD approaches are demonstrated with guided examples and supported with comprehensive engineering explanations. Furthermore, each approach includes exercises for independent consolidation of advanced CAD skills. This book is intended for engineers and designers who are already familiar with the basics of modern CAD tools, e.g. feature based and solid based modeling in 3D space, and would like to improve and expand their knowledge and experience. It is also an easy-to use guide and excellent teaching and research aid for academics and practitioners alike.

Book Description
This latest edition describes why MBD is important to your organization. The discussions around tools, processes, standards, and most importantly, the people who use MBD are updated to match current industry practice. MBD is the foundation for Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), Industry 4.0, and creating digital twins. ◦ The first edition of the book considered how CAD jockeys designed products and did not include the broader benefits during manufacturing. Jennifer Herron, founder & CEO of Action Engineering, states: "The downstream benefits of MBD on the shop floor and during inspection often eclipse the time and effort savings in engineering, so it is imperative to engage the entire enterprise." Because the engineering department is often the only MBD champion, MBD implementations fall short because critical workflows are missed in internal and external supply chain operations. Understanding the why, what, and how across the entire enterprise is the key to MBD adoption. ◦ What's new? - Terms and definitions are updated and clarified - All graphics are updated - 3D examples are revised - The Four Parts of MBD are presented - Suppliers are discussed - Standards are updated
