Unlike many modern guides that just teach you "which buttons to click" in specific software, Zeid’s approach is foundational. It focuses on the mathematics and algorithms behind the graphics.

Zeid also authored Mastering CAD/CAM , which focuses more on modern topics like feature-based modeling and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM). Core Topics Covered

Ibrahim Zeid is a Professor Emeritus at Northeastern University, Boston. His expertise lies in manufacturing systems, CAD/CAM integration, and object-oriented graphics. First published by McGraw-Hill, CAD/CAM Theory and Practice is unique because it does not treat CAD and CAM as separate islands.
