SOLIDWORKS 2023 Tutorial is written to assist students, designers, engineers, and professionals who are new to SOLIDWORKS. The text provides a step-by-step, project-based learning approach. It also contains information and examples on the five categories in the CSWA exam.

The book is divided into four sections. Chapters 1 - 5 explore the SOLIDWORKS User Interface and CommandManager, Document and System properties, simple and complex parts and assemblies, proper design intent, design tables, configurations, multi-sheet, multi-view drawings, BOMs, and Revision tables using basic and advanced features.

In Chapter 6, you will create the final robot assembly. The physical components and corresponding Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) curriculum are available from Gears Educational Systems. All assemblies and components for the final robot assembly are provided.

Chapters 7 - 10 prepare you for the Certified Associate - Mechanical Design (CSWA) exam. The certification indicates a foundation in and apprentice knowledge of 3D CAD and engineering practices and principles.

Chapter 11 covers the benefits of additive manufacturing (3D printing), how it differs from subtractive manufacturing, and its features. You will also learn the terms and technology used in low-cost 3D printers.

Follow the step-by-step instructions and develop multiple assemblies that combine over 100 extruded machined parts and components. Formulate the skills to create, modify, and edit sketches and solid features.

Learn the techniques to reuse features, parts, and assemblies through symmetry, patterns, and copied components, applying proper design intent, design tables, and configurations. Learn by doing, not just by reading.

Desired outcomes and usage competencies are listed for each chapter. Know your objective upfront. Follow the steps in each chapter to achieve your design goals.

Work between multiple documents, features, commands, custom properties, and document properties that represent how engineers and designers utilise SOLIDWORKS in industry.
