Computer-Aided Design: Techniques and Applications - Hardcover

The use of computers to design two-dimensional or three-dimensional models of physical objects is known as computer-aided design. Computer-aided design (CAD) systems and software are used to prepare drawings and specifications in architecture, electronics and automotive engineering. Mathematical models and numerical functions are crucial components of the three-dimensional (3D) models. Raster and vector graphics are the two methods of CAD. The function of raster graphics is to save the image in a matrix as a series of dots or pixels. Images are saved as collections of lines, circles, and intersecting angles within vector graphics. CAD software are used within different engineering disciplines to visualize product designs in 3D. The recent advancements in CAD technology include augmented and virtual technologies, synchronous modeling, topology improvement, and generative design. This book outlines the techniques and applications of computer-aided design in detail. As this field is emerging at a rapid pace, its contents will help the readers understand the modern concepts and applications of the subject.
