Tech Ed Concepts, Inc. Presents
Two New Books Pembroke, NH - May 21, 2001 - Tech Ed Concepts, Inc., a full-service 3D design and manufacturing technology provider for educators and students, announced today that it has published two new books geared towards CADKEY® 19, the latest version of the software. Each of these books are self-paced, step-by-step learning guides which are appropriate for grades seven and up. Projects in this 512 page book have been designed to introduce the three basic types of 3D modeling; wire frame, solid, and surface modeling. Solid modeling topics covered include: creating models from solid primitives; Boolean operations (union, difference, intersection); and using 2D profiles to extrude, revolve, and sweep 3D models. Geometric construction techniques covered include: lines, arcs, circles, ellipses, conics, splines, polylines, and polygons. Technical illustration using CADKEY, the CADKEY Layout Mode, assembly creation, file exchange and more are also introduced!
The fundamentals in The CADKEY Project Book, 5th Edition and The CADKEY 19 Cookbook are presented through a series of carefully crafted projects that use a proven learn-by-doing tutorial approach. The projects include detailed step-by-step instructions. Information presented between the steps is designed to help the new user understand the concepts and processes introduced in each chapter.

The
CADKEY Project Book, 5th Edition, authored by Dr. Leonard O.
Nasman, is designed to introduce CADKEY 19 to new users, and to
introduce mechanical CAD through the use of CADKEY software. For
engineers just getting started and for advanced students in technology
education, "tech prep," or introductory level mechanical CAD courses,
voc-tech courses, and college mechanical classes.
The
CADKEY 19 Cookbook, authored by Jerry Kuhn, is a collection
of design "recipes" introducing the basics of 2D, 3D and solid modeling.
This 220 page book will allow new users to become familiar with
the fundamentals of design and drafting, using CADKEY as their tool.
Extra credit challenges reinforce design techniques covered in the
book. This book has proven to be ideal for those new to computer-aided-design
and drafting.
