CAD & Office Integration


Book Description

In the realm of CAD & Office Integration a new technology has been introduced that will overturn many accepted ideas, both for developer and end-user. What is this revolutionary new technology? Called "OLE for Design and Modeling" it is an enhancement of Microsoft Windows OLE for high performance CAD/CAM/CAE-software. With this book, the reader will understand, how OLE for D&M enables users to introduce and manipulate CAD models within regular text-processing and DTP-documents. And why even high-end 3D design objects can now be transferred between different systems using easy "drag and drop" operations. Furthermore this "plug and play" CAD technology makes it possible to use older CAD documents and older software in an entirely new context. If you want to know, where technology is going to, you should read it.

Digital Design and Manufacturing: CAD/CAM Applications in Architecture and Design


Book Description

A reliable, concise guide to computer-aided design and manufacturing Positioned to be the leading book of its kind in the field, Digital Design and Manufacturing explains the ins and outs of CAD/CAM technologies and how these tools can be used to model and manufacture building components and industrial design products. It offers a comprehensive overview of the field and expertly addresses a broad range of recent initiatives and other issues related to the design of parts and assemblies for automated manufacturing and assembly. Digital Design and Manufacturing presents the latest technical coverage of how to implement CAD/CAM technologies into the design process, including the broad range of software, computer numerical control (CNC) machines, manufacturing processes, and prototyping necessary. Insightful case studies are integrated throughout from the works of Frank Gehry, Bernard Franken, Raphael Vinoly, and many other leading architects. Product design case studies are also presented. Students and professional architects will find techniques for going from representation to production, while avoiding the pitfalls of traditional manufacturing and allowing for the design and production of complex, free-form components that have been too expensive to use practically-until now.

Blurring the Lines


Book Description

The interface between CAD (computer-aided drawing tools) and CAM (computer-assisted manufacturing tools) has provided architects with an entirely new way of working. This book presents essays and case studies that explore and demonstrate the current state-of-the-art in CAD/CAM applications, as well as future trends.
