The definitive hands-on guide to solid modelling with SolidWorks 2021

Mastering SolidWorks, 3rd Edition, thoroughly illuminates solid modelling CAD techniques for developing parts, assemblies, and drawings. Additional specialisations, SolidWorks toolboxes, and manufacturing techniques are also covered, including sheet metal, injection molding, and animation. New illustrations reflect SolidWorks 2021 throughout, and this edition fully reflects changes in workflow since SolidWorks 2014.

Mastering SolidWorks can develop CAD skills in students with little or no solid modelling expertise, help more advanced students hone specialised skills, and prepare any SolidWorks user for SolidWorks Associate (CSWA) or Professional (CSWP) certification. Written especially for beginners and intermediate users, it will also be valuable to experienced users requiring specialised knowledge, to companies training their own professionals, and to all schools teaching engineering, design, or 3D modelling.
