The book discusses the theoretical fundamentals of CAD graphics to enhance readers'
understanding of surface modeling and free-form design by demonstrating how to use mathematical
equations to define curves and surfaces in CAD modelers. Additionally it explains and
describes the main approaches to creating CAD models out of 3D scans of physical objects. All
CAD approaches are demonstrated with guided examples and supported with comprehensive
engineering explanations. Furthermore each approach includes exercises for independent
consolidation of advanced CAD skills. This book is intended for engineers and designers who are
already familiar with the basics of modern CAD tools e.g. feature based and solid based
modeling in 3D space and would like to improve and expand their knowledge and experience. It
is also an easy-to use guide and excellent teaching and research aid for academics and
practitioners alike.
