Content includes explanations and demonstrations of industry standard terminology, and relating it to SolidWorks specific terms, in such a way that a reader transitioning from another surfacing software program can easily understand. The book will highlight techniques that range from creating purely decorative forms, very complex forms, as well as organic shapes and techniques commonly found in modern product design. The examples and tutorials found throughout will represent finished solid models complete with manufacturing level detail. The Web site will contain the start and finish points to the tutorials found in the book as well as finished examples.
