Instead of polemic, it gives the reader a simple steady-handed, non-esoteric introduction to CAM, but it is not shy of the far-reaching ramifications that are inherent in its implementations as a mainstay to future practice. What more can one expect from an architectural book?' Architects Journal 'I am writing a thesis on how computer aided manufacture is being integrated and redefining the design industries with particular interest in modelmaking. This book helped a great deal, giving an excellent unbiased objective from many sources. An easy to read and understand book that allows the reader to form an educated opinion. This is a relatively new technology that's here to stay, so this is a definite must for people who want to know more about it. Five stars.' Amazon.com customer review.
