The importance of computer aided technologies in manufacturing engineering has been well recognized. The majority of higher educational institutions offer one or several CAD/CAM courses in their engineering programmes. However, selecting an appropriate textbook proves to be a challenge since all of the textbooks are too sophisticated in certain subjects but lack in coverage on a broad scope of disciplines and CAD/CAM tools. In our primary survey, we found a few common CAD/CAM textbooks that were adopted by different institutions, as shown in Table 1.5.

Table 1.5 Examples of existing CAD/CAM textbooks (Wang and Bi 2018).

Since the information technology (IT) has developed so rapidly in recent years, most of the textbooks in Table 1.5 are out of the date, and the last three recent ones cover only the integration of CAD and CAM. No appropriate textbook has been found that has a wide coverage of subdisciplines and computer aided tools.
