Part III: Advanced Part Modeling
The primary goal of Part III is to explore and cover in detail the topics of curves, surfaces, sheet metal, weldments, and sustainable design. This part shows the real power of geometric modeling as well as how to model and design complex parts such as computer mice, fan blades, and hair dryers. Two of the important modeling concepts covered here are 3D curves and surfaces. Combining these concepts enables us to model any complex shape we come across.
Chapter 8 (Curves) covers the details of curves, their parametric representation, and their types of 2D and 3D representation. Chapter 9 (Surfaces) extends the curve theory and covers the parametric representation of surfaces, the available types of surfaces we can ...
