We’ve been writing SolidWorks books for over 13 years. It is our goal to be customer focused and to provide updated and accurate books to teach (mentor) the public on how to use and apply SolidWorks. No one book is for everyone; beginner, intermediate, or advance user.

We are committed to provide yearly updates. If you have any questions on which book would be correct for you, please do not hesitate to contact us. 

Note: All models and additional learning materials; .ppt presentations, labs, quizzes and more are available for instructors.

Note: Powerpoint presentations, Term Projects, pdfs, avi files, labs, quizzes, and initial and final SolidWorks models are included on the instructors CD for 2012.

Sample Customer Testimonials: 

Professor Carlos Rodriguez from the Universidad EAFIT in Colombia, carodri@eafit.edu.co stated:

"Really my knowledge in SolidWorks is based in the learning obtained with your published books. Keep up the good work."

Arwind Gore a design engineer from Pittsburg PA wrote:

"Certifications are a great way to establish proficiency standards and to prepare engineers and designers for their industry careers and they need to be readily available. This drive by SolidWorks is greatly appreciated. I have used other 3CAD software, but have not come across ones who are promoting these types of educational efforts to prepare designers/engineers for the industry.”

“I went through the Official Certified SolidWorks Associate CSWA Exam Guide a few times and worked on all of the problems. I found the book to be extremely useful.”

 

A professor from Iowa State University provided the following student feedback: 

“I am very happy with my experience in AE 271.  I think that it has prepared me to be an efficient SolidWorks user. I think the book did a fantastic job of using step-by-step tutorials to walk the user through the many operations of the program. In the past I have used similar books to learn a program, but I think this book did an exceptional job.”

“I plan to use the skill I developed in this class for a future job.”

“Keeping up with the latest technology will help me to find that career I came to Iowa State to achieve.”
