The first book published by Sheet Metal Guy, LLC was SolidWorks for the Sheet Metal Guy - Course 1: Part Creation. The book is a fun and engaging way to explore the sheet metal capabilities of SolidWorks at your own speed. You learn how to use SolidWorks and its sheet metal tools from experts in the sheet metal industry. The series of self-paced training books, SolidWorks for the Sheet Metal Guy, demonstrates how to create real life sheet metal parts and is written in terms sheet metal people know and understand.
Books and other training materials about SolidWorks are available, but very little coverage is given to the specific sheet metal tools and unfolding capabilities, leaving users on their own to learn these tools. Dedicated to the SolidWorks market, SolidWorks for the Sheet Metal Guy addresses this need by showing you how to use the sheet metal tools of SolidWorks. You learn from the beginning how to create sheet metal parts designed with manufacturing in mind. Throughout the book, SolidWorks' sheet metal tools are used to guide you step by step through the basics of part creation into complex features of sheet metal design. Emphasis is on creating parts and features that maintain the design intent even when changes are made to key dimensions of the part, the material thickness, or the bend radius. Taking advantage of parametrics from the beginning assures that any changes will not invalidate design integrity.
Sheet metal designers and manufacturers must increase their SolidWorks proficiency in order to get new products to market faster and achieve a higher return on their investments. Now there's a new way to learn SolidWorks. This new comprehensive course is a self-paced learning tool, using real projects that work through the design process step-by-step.
