Machining Simulation Using SOLIDWORKS CAM 2023 - Kuang-Hua Chang Ph.D. Cover Art

Machining Simulation Using SOLIDWORKS CAM 2023

Machining Simulation Using SOLIDWORKS CAM 2023 by Kuang-Hua Chang Ph.D.

• Teaches you how to prevent problems, reduce manufacturing costs, shorten production time, and improve estimating • Covers the core concepts and most frequently used commands in SOLIDWORKS CAM • Designed for users new to SOLIDWORKS CAM with basic knowledge of manufacturing processes • Incorporates cutter location data verification by reviewing the generated G-codes • Includes a chapter on third-party CAM Modules This book will teach you all the important concepts and steps used to conduct machining simulations using SOLIDWORKS CAM. SOLIDWORKS CAM is a parametric, feature-based machining simulation software offered as an add-in to SOLIDWORKS. It integrates design and manufacturing in one application, connecting design and manufacturing teams through a common software tool that facilitates product design using 3D solid models. By carrying out machining simulation, the machining process can be defined and verified early in the product design stage. Some, if not all, of the less desirable design features of part manufacturing can be detected and addressed while the product design is still being finalized. In addition, machining-related problems can be detected and eliminated before mounting a stock on a CNC machine, and manufacturing cost can be estimated using the machining time estimated in the machining simulation. This book is intentionally kept simple. It’s written to help you become familiar with the practical applications of conducting machining simulations in SOLIDWORKS CAM. This book provides you with the basic concepts and steps needed to use the software, as well as a discussion of the G-codes generated. After completing this book, you should have a clear understanding of how to use SOLIDWORKS CAM for machining simulations and should be able to apply this knowledge to carry out machining assignments on your own product designs. In order to provide you with a more comprehensive understanding of machining simulations, the book discusses NC (numerical control) part programming and verification, as well as introduces applications that involve bringing the G-code post processed by SOLIDWORKS CAM to a HAAS CNC mill and lathe to physically cut parts. This book points out important, practical factors when transitioning from virtual to physical machining. Since the machining capabilities offered in the 2023 version of SOLIDWORKS CAM are somewhat limited, this book introduces third-party CAM modules that are seamlessly integrated into SOLIDWORKS, including CAMWorks, HSMWorks, and Mastercam for SOLIDWORKS. This book covers basic concepts, frequently used commands and options required for you to advance from a novice to an intermediate level SOLIDWORKS CAM user. Basic concepts and commands introduced include extracting machinable features (such as 2.5 axis features), selecting a machine and cutting tools, defining machining parameters (such as feed rate, spindle speed, depth of cut, and so on), generating and simulating toolpaths, and post processing CL data to output G-code for support of physical machining. The concepts and commands are introduced in a tutorial style presentation using simple but realistic examples. Both milling and turning operations are included. One of the unique features of this book is the incorporation of the CL data verification by reviewing the G-code generated from the toolpaths. This helps you understand how the G-code is generated by using the respective post processors, which is an important step and an excellent way to confirm that the toolpaths and G-code generated are accurate and useful. Who is this book for? This book should serve well for self-learners. A self-learner should have basic physics and mathematics background, preferably a bachelor or associate degree in science or engineering. We assume that you are familiar with basic manufacturing processes, especially milling and turning. And certainly, we expect that you are familiar with SOLIDWORKS part and assembly modes. A self-learner should be able to complete the fourteen lessons of this book in about fifty hours. This book also serves well for class instruction. Most likely, it will be used as a supplemental reference for courses like CNC Machining, Design and Manufacturing, Computer-Aided Manufacturing, or Computer-Integrated Manufacturing. This book should cover five to six weeks of class instruction, depending on the course arrangement and the technical background of the students.

A Senior’s Guide to iPhone Photography: Shooting and Organizing Photos and Videos With the iPhone Camera (Running iOS 16) by Scott La Counte

Start taking better photos with your iPhone! I remember my first phone. It had a cord attached and was shaped like a popular animated character. You didn't surf the Internet on it. You didn't send text messages. You didn't check your email. And you definitely didn't take pictures on it! Times have changed, haven't they? Most people probably don't even have a camera that's not attached to their phones. iPhons don't match the quality of a DSLR camera—but they're certainly coming close. This book won't teach you how to be the next Ansel Adams, but it will teach things you probably never knew about the camera and photo app. Inside, I'll show you how to: Take and edit photos Organize photos Use different photo modes and lenes Use photographic styles And much more. If you are ready to get the most out of your iPhone camera, then read on! Note: this book is based off of the iPhone 14 Pro, which has photo features (notably ProRes) that are not available on other iPhones. I will point out when a feature might not work on your phone.

Technical Drawing 101 with AutoCAD 2024 - Ashleigh Congdon-Fuller, Antonio Ramirez & Douglas Smith Cover Art

Technical Drawing 101 with AutoCAD 2024

Technical Drawing 101 with AutoCAD 2024 A Multidisciplinary Guide to Drafting Theory and Practice by Ashleigh Congdon-Fuller, Antonio Ramirez & Douglas Smith

• Blends technical drawing and an introduction to AutoCAD 2024 • Covers both mechanical and architectural projects • Drafting theory is incorporated throughout the text • Designed to be used in a single semester, instructor led course • Each chapter contains key terms, unit summaries, review questions and drawing projects Technical Drawing 101 covers topics ranging from the most basic, such as making freehand, multiview sketches of machine parts, to the advanced—creating an AutoCAD dimension style containing the style settings defined by the ASME Y14.5-2009 Dimensioning and Tolerancing standard. But unlike the massive technical drawing reference texts on the market, Technical Drawing 101 aims to present just the right mix of information and projects that can be reasonably covered by faculty, and assimilated by students, in one semester. Both mechanical and architectural projects are introduced to capture the interest of more students and to offer a broader appeal. The CAD portion of the text incorporates drafting theory whenever possible and covers the basics of drawing setup (units, limits, and layers), the tools of the Draw, Modify, and Dimension toolbars, and the fundamentals of 3D modeling. By focusing on the fundamental building blocks of CAD, Technical Drawing 101 provides a solid foundation for students going on to learn advanced CAD concepts and techniques (paper space, viewports, xrefs, annotative scaling, etc.) in intermediate CAD courses. In recognition of the diverse career interests of our students, Technical Drawing 101 includes projects in which students create working drawings for a mechanical assembly as well as for an architectural project. We include architectural drawing because our experience has shown that many (if not most) first-semester drafting students are interested in careers in the architectural design field, and that a traditional technical drawing text, which focuses solely on mechanical drawing projects, holds little interest for these students. The multidisciplinary approach of this text and its supporting materials are intended to broaden the appeal of the curriculum and increase student interest and, it is hoped, future enrollments.

The Bitcoin Standard: The Decentralized Alternative to Central Banking - Wiley Inc. Cover Art

The Bitcoin Standard: The Decentralized Alternative to Central Banking

The Bitcoin Standard: The Decentralized Alternative to Central Banking by Wiley Inc.

When a pseudonymous programmer introduced “a new electronic cash system that’s fully peer-to-peer, with no trusted third party” to a small online mailing list in 2008, very few paid attention. Ten years later, and against all odds, this upstart autonomous decentralized software offers an unstoppable and globally-accessible hard money alternative to modern central banks. The Bitcoin Standard analyzes the historical context to the rise of Bitcoin, the economic properties that have allowed it to grow quickly, and its likely economic, political, and social implications. While Bitcoin is a new invention of the digital age, the problem it purports to solve is as old as human society itself: transferring value across time and space. Ammous takes the reader on an engaging journey through the history of technologies performing the functions of money, from primitive systems of trading limestones and seashells, to metals, coins, the gold standard, and modern government debt. Exploring what gave these technologies their monetary role, and how most lost it, provides the reader with a good idea of what makes for sound money, and sets the stage for an economic discussion of its consequences for individual and societal future-orientation, capital accumulation, trade, peace, culture, and art. Compellingly, Ammous shows that it is no coincidence that the loftiest achievements of humanity have come in societies enjoying the benefits of sound monetary regimes, nor is it coincidental that monetary collapse has usually accompanied civilizational collapse. With this background in place, the book moves on to explain the operation of Bitcoin in a functional and intuitive way. Bitcoin is a decentralized, distributed piece of software that converts electricity and processing power into indisputably accurate records, thus allowing its users to utilize the Internet to perform the traditional functions of money without having to rely on, or trust, any authorities or infrastructure in the physical world. Bitcoin is thus best understood as the first successfully implemented form of digital cash and digital hard money. With an automated and perfectly predictable monetary policy, and the ability to perform final settlement of large sums across the world in a matter of minutes, Bitcoin’s real competitive edge might just be as a store of value and network for final settlement of large payments―a digital form of gold with a built-in settlement infrastructure. Ammous’ firm grasp of the technological possibilities as well as the historical realities of monetary evolution provides for a fascinating exploration of the ramifications of voluntary free market money. As it challenges the most sacred of government monopolies, Bitcoin shifts the pendulum of sovereignty away from governments in favor of individuals, offering us the tantalizing possibility of a world where money is fully extricated from politics and unrestrained by borders. The final chapter of the book explores some of the most common questions surrounding Bitcoin: Is Bitcoin mining a waste of energy? Is Bitcoin for criminals? Who controls Bitcoin, and can they change it if they please? How can Bitcoin be killed? And what to make of all the thousands of Bitcoin knock-offs, and the many supposed applications of Bitcoin’s ‘block chain technology’? The Bitcoin Standard is the essential resource for a clear understanding of the rise of the Internet’s decentralized, apolitical, free-market alternative to national central banks.

Analysis of Machine Elements Using SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2022 - Shahin S. Nudehi Ph.D., P.E. Cover Art

Analysis of Machine Elements Using SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2022

Analysis of Machine Elements Using SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2022 by Shahin S. Nudehi Ph.D., P.E.

• Designed for first-time SOLIDWORKS Simulation users • Focuses on examples commonly found in Design of Machine Elements courses • Many problems are accompanied by solutions using classical equations • Combines step-by-step tutorials with detailed explanations of why each step is taken Analysis of Machine Elements Using SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2022 is written primarily for first-time SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2022 users who wish to understand finite element analysis capabilities applicable to stress analysis of mechanical elements. The focus of examples is on problems commonly found in introductory, undergraduate, Design of Machine Elements or similarly named courses. In order to be compatible with most machine design textbooks, this text begins with problems that can be solved with a basic understanding of mechanics of materials. Problem types quickly migrate to include states of stress found in more specialized situations common to a design of mechanical elements course. Paralleling this progression of problem types, each chapter introduces new software concepts and capabilities. Many examples are accompanied by problem solutions based on use of classical equations for stress determination. Unlike many step-by-step user guides that only list a succession of steps, which if followed correctly lead to successful solution of a problem, this text attempts to provide insight into  why  each step is performed. This approach amplifies two fundamental tenets of this text. The first is that a better understanding of course topics related to stress determination is realized when classical methods and finite element solutions are considered together. The second tenet is that finite element solutions should always be verified by checking, whether by classical stress equations or experimentation. Each chapter begins with a list of learning objectives related to specific capabilities of the SOLIDWORKS Simulation program introduced in that chapter. Most software capabilities are repeated in subsequent examples so that users gain familiarity with their purpose and are capable of using them in future problems. All end-of-chapter problems are accompanied by evaluation "check sheets" to facilitate grading assignments. Table of Contents       Introduction 1.   Stress Analysis Using SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2.   Curved Beam Analysis 3.   Stress Concentration Analysis 4.   Thin and Thick Wall Pressure Vessels 5.   Interference Fit Analysis 6.   Contact Analysis 7.   Bolted Joint Analysis 8.   Design Optimization 9.   Elastic Buckling 10. Fatigue Testing Analysis 11. Thermal Stress Analysis       Appendix A: Organizing Assignments Using MS Word       Appendix B: Alternate Method to Change Screen Background Color       Index
