Summary
A practical guide suitable for home metalworkers and model engineers
Computer-aided design (CAD) technology is essential for modern design and manufacture in the workshop. With software more practical, affordable, and accessible than ever, there has never been a better time to learn how to get the most out of CAD. Whether a reader is new to CAD or ready to try more advanced software, this practical guide gives a thorough introduction to the technology and how to greatly enhance design and manufacture in the workshop. It covers design techniques--not restricted to any CAD software package, software selection, and the conventions of technical drawing. It offers case studies demonstrating the application of different CAD techniques for a range of projects.
