EdgeCAM 11.0 for Manufacturers textbook consists of 9 chapters that are pedagogically sequenced to cater to the designers and the manufacturers. Beginning with chapters that introduce the modeling concepts and their definitions, the textbook gradually progresses to cover concepts such as sketching, editing, dimensioning, and transforming the features. The textbook also explains about the machining cycles in the Manufacture mode, which increase the efficiency of the shopfloor operations. The textbook discusses in detail the tools for generating the toolpaths for various milling and turning operations, the procedure to create the CNC code files, and the simulation.

Salient Features of the Textbook:

•   Covers the Part Modeler, Design Mode, Manufacture Mode, and Post Processor

•   Provides a detailed  explanation of EdgeCAM 11.0 commands and tools

•   Contains about 25 real-world mechanical engineering designs as tutorials and projects with step-by-step explanation

•   Tips and Notes in all chapters of the textbook

•   464 pages of heavily illustrated text 

•   Self-Evaluation tests and Exercises at the end of each chapter
