 Inside
Rhinoceros $34.97
by Ron K. C. Cheng
Master the ins and outs of building curved surfaces and
organic shapes while sharpening your knowledge of the
mathematics used in contemporary computer-aided engineering
applications. Inside Rhinoceros provides readers with
an all-inclusive introduction to 3D computer modeling
using the newest release of Rhinoceros - Rhino(tm), Release
2 - with special emphasis on understanding NURBS surfaces
and boundary-representation methods. Real-world projects
and step-by-step Rhino tutorials acquaint novices with
key features and functions of the software, which is rapidly
gaining acceptance in the corporate market as well as
in the classroom. These hands-on exercises provide a direct
path to learning how to generate free-form NURBS curves
for creating surfaces and solids, construct polygon meshes
for coping with other applications, and outputting photo-realistic
images and 2D production engineering drawings from 3D
objects.

 Rhino:
NURBS 3D Modeling (New and used from $28.00)
by Margaret Becker, Pascal Golay, Robert McNeel
Rhino NURBS 3D Modeling is an excellent book not only
on building models with this popular modeling tool but
on computer modeling in general. Many of the techniques
described here, such as Boolean operations and trimming
surfaces, can be applied to building models in other programs.
Many chapters adeptly demonstrate Rhino's power as a NURBS
modeler (Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines). NURBS is a computer
modeling paradigm that makes it easy to build curved surfaces
and organic shapes. Certain chapters go into detail on
building shapes such as a dragonfly (based on a photographic
template), a coffeepot with a lid, and a cartoon-style
boy character.

Solidworks $48.27
by David Murray
INSIDE SolidWorks, 2nd Edition, continues to provide
beginning through intermediate users with a host of
manufacturing-based examples and step-by-step tutorials.
In addition to exploring Solid Works 2000 commands and
processes, this book emphasizes the mindset needed to
create professional 3D designs and solid models vs.
classic 2D-oriented approaches. Drafting with parting
lines, unrolling sheet metal, using the Rip function,
step and repeat functions, assembly component mating
techniques, as well as new lighting sources and surfacing
functionality are just a few of the new features of
SolidWorks 2000 covered in this edition. Numerous opportunities
to apply SolidWorks functionality in the context of
a wide variety of manufacturing processes, plus detailed
examples within each chapter that enable readers to
build a sample part, make this a valuable how-to and
reference manual for users of all abilities.

 Mechanical
Engineering Design with ProENGINEER 2001
$59.95
by Mark, Dr Archibald
The primary objective of this manual is to teach users
to use Pro/ENGINEER software for effective, efficient,
and accurate mechanical design solutions. The book is
aggressive in scope -- users learn Pro/ENGINEER to a
very high level. Since most mechanical design involves
assemblies, assembly design using top-down design techniques
is tightly integrated from an early stage, rather than
treated as a separate skill.
