• CD-ROM, making it possible to design a part on the computer, generate machining codes (G&M), and simulate the tool path to check for programming errors.
• Begins each section with a new Section opener collage and includes an introduction, learning objectives, key terms summary, and knowledge review questions.
• Highlights safety precautions throughout, making them stand out from the text and more visible.
• Covers 14 key operations, in various sections, using Visutext format where each major step of an operation is illustrated, labeled and explained with minimum text.
• Includes the latest direct ironmaking and direct steelmaking processes and mini mills.
• Contains five Modern Technology overviews for some sections that give a brief history of the topic and a look at advanced and future developments.
• Introduces conventional/programmable lathes, vertical mills, and surface grinders, making the reader aware of the step between conventional and CNC machines.
• Lists at the start of each programming exercise any codes being used for the first time and their function.
• Provides CAD/CAM program examples for the lathe and mill, using easy-to-follow steps accompanied by computer screen displays.
• Contains a comprehensive machine tool glossary.
• Offers an overview of Virtual Reality NC.
• Shows students—in a careers section—the many exciting and rewarding opportunities available in metalworking and manufacturing.
