SOLIDWORKS Sheet Metal and Surface Design 2023 for Beginners and Intermediate Users textbook has been designed for instructor-led courses as well as self-paced learning. It is intended to help engineers and designers interested in learning SOLIDWORKS for creating real-world sheet metal components and surface designs. This textbook is a great help for SOLIDWORKS users new to sheet metal and surface designs. It consists of total 224 pages covering the sheet metal and surface design environments of SOLIDWORKS. It teaches users to use SOLIDWORKS mechanical design software for creating parametric 3D sheet metal components and complex shapes of surface models that may not be possible with solid modeling because of its limitations.

This textbook not only focuses on the usage of the tools and commands of SOLIDWORKS for creating sheet metal components and surface models but also on the concept of design. It contains theory followed by tutorials that provide users with step-by-step instructions for creating sheet metal components and surface models. Moreover, it ends with Hands-on Test Drives which allow users to experience the user friendly interface and technical capabilities of SOLIDWORKS.
