Intended for use as a textbook in the introductory course in engineering drawing and computer aided modeling for undergraduate engineering students, 3D Modeling for Advanced Design and Application focuses on the principals of engineering graphics for sketching drawings according to the standards in mechanical engineering.
3D Modeling for Advanced Design and Application by Fardad Azarmi:

• Features step-by-step instruction for solid modeling with Creo Parametric 3.0 software.
• Presents techniques and methods to effectively transfer information regarding designs, geometry, size, and tolerances for fabricated components.
• Teaches fundamentals of engineering drawings using traditional techniques such as hand sketching immediately followed up by using an advanced computer program to create 3D models.
• Demonstrates basic solid modeling tools (including Extrude, Revolve, Hole, Chamfer, and Round) as well as some intermediate modeling (including Sweep, Helical Sweep, Swept Blend, and Toroidal Bend), which usually are not covered in other available texts.
• Teaches potential industrial applications such as making a format, fully dimensioned drawing, defining material properties, creating an assembly drawing, and more.
• Assesses Comprehension! A variety of exercises help students to work together and interact during class time and practice at home.
• Is Easy to Adopt! Instructors will receive a solution manual for all in-class and take home practices as well as PowerPoint lectures.
