This full-color text offers a clear introduction and detailed reference for creating and interpreting technical drawings, whether using 2D CAD or 3D modeling. The important role that 3D CAD databases play in design and documentation is a central emphasis. Superbly integrated illustrations, step-by-step instructions, and navigation features help you master key skills and knowledge. Throughout, the authors demonstrate 3D and 2D drawing skills and CAD usage in the context of real-world practice in today's leading disciplines. They combine strong technical detail, real-world examples, and current standards, materials, industries, and processesall in a format that is efficient, colorful, and visual.
