Engineering Drawing and Product Manufacturing Information With 3D Models

Frank Mill is the Emeritus Professor of Digital Design at The University of Edinburgh, where he has taught manufacturing modelling subjects for over 40 years. He is a Chartered Engineer and Fellow of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers as well as a Principal Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (Advance HE). He holds a first-class honours degree in Production Engineering and a PhD in Shape Optimization. His teaching is based on his practical experience working as a support engineer for a leading CAD company as well as his design consultancy work for many engineering customers and his personal research in 3D modelling applications in manufacture. He has taught undergraduate courses in Engineering Drawing, Computer-aided Design, Manufacturing Systems, Digital Manufacturing, Product Data Management, and Engineering Management as well as post-graduate courses in Innovation & Enterprise and in Advanced 3D Modelling. Frank is a director of ShapeSpace Ltd, a company dedicated to providing software solutions for product modelling applications.
