Review

Excellent value for money, very detailed and informative book even while being quite easy to follow. This is a very good book for beginners as well as intermediate users like me who used SOLIDWORKS 5 years back in industry. I wanted to revise the concepts but was amazed to get much more information than expected. The author has very well covered many important concepts and topics like Sketching, Part Modeling, Assembly, Surfacing, Drafting, Blocks, Sheet Metal, Motion Study, Mold Design and many others. Moreover, the step-by-step tutorials and hands-on-exercises made the learning quite effective for me and I could learn many concepts in a very short period. The learning was made further easy by the free teaching and learning resources like tutorials and exercise files available on their company website.

At the end of each chapter, the author has provided questions to assess user s knowledge which I believe could be very useful for students and faculty in colleges. I have just one request to the author to add more tutorials and exercises related to GD&T and Mold Design in their next edition. Will be eagerly waiting for their next edition.
