Описание: This book is intended for intermediate to advanced SolidWorks users. Everyone has a different idea of what those two levels mean, but I'm assuming the reader of this book has a complete understanding of solid functions in SolidWorks, and at least a passing familiarity with surfacing. If you know nothing about surfacing, a surfacing primer is included in the early chapters to help familiarize you with some terminology Surface modeling requires a completely different way of looking at geometry. Surfacing is essentially building a model one face at a time. You might look at the SolidWorks 2007 Bible as a good pre-requisite for this book. If you understand things at the level of the SolidWorks 2007 Bible, you are ready for this book. Assembly topics are used minimally in this book, and there are no sheet metal or weldment topics used here.
The SolidWorks Surfacing and Complex Shape Modeling Bible is written from the point of view of an engineer who has to precisely re-create concept shapes provided by artistic professionals in a way conducive to the manufacture of the part. I do not discuss artistic design issues here; I prefer to use the term 'modeling' rather than 'design'. In this case, modeling is the main difficult task, and it is difficult enough without also considering design.
The book is written from the point of view of an engineer primarily because I am an engineer, and it would be difficult for me to write it from another point of view. The information contained in the book is certainly useable by artistic professionals, hobbyists, CNC programmers, drafters, entrepreneurs, students, or others. The goal in most of the examples is to work from some sort of input, which could be point cloud data, digital photos, or scanned hand sketches, and to produce high quality finished geometry.
