This SOLIDWORKS tutorial book teaches you 3D modeling and CAD design for mechanical engineering. You get step-by-step instructions for part modeling, assembly design, and technical drawings.Learn:Sketching basics: lines, arcs, slots, splines, with geometric relationsParametric modeling: extrudes, revolves, lofts, sweeps, holes, fillets, patternsAssembly techniques: mates (coincident, concentric, path), interference checksEngineering drawings: sections, BOMs, hole tables, dimension retrievalCertification prep: CSWP sample questions and practice exercisesmm/inch examples for mechanical design standardsYou begin with the user interface and setup. Then you learn sketches for solid parts. Next, you work through features from extrudes to flex commands. After that, you build assemblies including top-down methods. Finally, you create production drawings. Every chapter includes tutorials and exercises using real projects.Order now to build CAD skills and prepare for certification.
