Using a strong science-based and analytical approach, this text provides a modern description of CAM from an
engineering perspective to include design specification, process engineering, and production. It begins with discussions
of part design and geometric modeling and then gives detailed coverage of individual technologies and building
blocks to provide readers with a clear understanding of CAM technology. Unlike most other texts in the field, this
book includes both descriptive information and analytical models.
