            Abstract : 
The method of joint use Mathcad and Pro/E to get solid model of hourglass cam is proposed in this paper. That is, the required important dimensions and parameters of hourglass cam during solid modeling can be determined with Mathcad programming at first, and then the Mathcad file and features of cam are correlated to realize solid modeling. Lastly an example is given to demonstrate the feasibility of this method.
