Additional information
by Louis Gary Lamit (Author)
This the color version of Part 2 of the book. PTC Creo Parametric 4.0 is one of the most widely used CAD/CAM software programs in the world today. Any aspiring engineer will greatly benefit from the knowledge contained herein, while in school or upon graduation as a newly employed engineer. Significant changes, upgrades, and new capabilities including have made PTC Creo Parametric 4.0 a unique product. This is not a revised textbook but a new book covering all the necessary subjects needed to master this high-level CAD software. There are few if any comprehensive texts on this subject so we hope this text will fill the needs of both schools and professionals alike. The text involves creating a new part, an assembly, or a drawing, using a set of commands that walk you through the process systematically. Lessons and Projects all come from industry and have been tested for accuracy and correctness as per engineering standards. Projects are downloadable as a PDF with live links and 3D embedded models.
Author Biography
Louis Gary Lamit teaches Creo Parametric at De Anza College (since 1984) in Cupertino, California. He does industry training for local industry in Silicon Valley. Mr. Lamit has worked as a drafter, designer, numerical control (NC) programmer, technical illustrator, and engineer in the automotive, aircraft, and piping industries. A majority of his work experience is in the area of mechanical and piping design. He started as a drafter in the Detroit area in 1966 (as a job shopper) in the automobile industry, doing tooling, dies, jigs and fixture layout, and detailing at Koltanbar Engineering, Tool Engineering, Time Engineering, and Premier Engineering for Chrysler, Ford, AMC, and Fisher Body. He has worked at Remington Arms and Pratt & Whitney Aircraft as a designer, and at Boeing Aircraft and Kollmorgan Optics as an NC programmer and aircraft engineer. He also owns and operates his own consulting firm, and has been involved with advertising, and patent illustration. He is the author of over 35 technical/engineering textbooks, workbooks, tutorials, and handbooks and 10 books and journals on a variety of subjects (golf, fishing, bird watching, gardening, and children's books). Mr. Lamit received a BS degree from Western Michigan University in 1970 and did Masters work at Wayne State University and Michigan State University. He has also done graduate work at the University of California at Berkeley and holds an NC programming certificate from Boeing Aircraft. Since leaving industry, he has taught at all levels (Melby Junior High School, Warren, Michigan; Carroll County Vocational Technical School, Carrollton, Georgia; Heald Engineering College, San Francisco, California; Cogswell Polytechnical College, San Francisco and Cupertino, California; Mission College, Santa Clara, California; Santa Rosa Junior College, Santa Rosa, California; Northern Kentucky University, Highland Heights, Kentucky; and De Anza College, Cupertino, California).
