This book is ideal for college and university students studying Advanced Manufacturing or CAD/CAM, as well as professionals, designers, and engineers interested in practical applications of SolidWorks and 3D printing technology.

Description

This senior undergraduate level textbook is written for Advanced Manufacturing, Additive Manufacturing, as well as CAD/CAM courses. Its goal is to assist students in colleges and universities, designers, engineers, and professionals interested in using SolidWorks as the design and 3D printing tool for emerging manufacturing technology for practical applications. This textbook will bring a new dimension to SolidWorks by introducing readers to the role of SolidWorks in the relatively new manufacturing paradigm shift, known as 3D-Printing which is based on Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology.

This new textbook:

Features modeling of complex parts and surfaces
Provides a step-by-step tutorial type approach with pictures showing how to model using SolidWorks
Offers a user-friendly approach for the design of parts, assemblies, and drawings, motion-analysis, and FEA topics
Includes clarification of connections between SolidWorks and 3D-Printing based on Additive Manufacturing
Discusses a clear presentation of Additive Manufacturing for Designers using SolidWorks CAD software

Introduction to SolidWorks: A Comprehensive Guide with Applications in 3D Printing is written using a hands-on approach which includes a significant number of pictorial descriptions of the steps that a student should follow to model parts, assemble parts, and produce drawings.

About the Author

Godfrey Onwubolu holds BEng (University of Benin) and MSc degree in Mechanical Engineering (Aston University) and PhD degree in computer-aided design (CAD) (Aston University). His industrial experience is in manufacturing engineering in West Midlands, England. He was a consultant to a center of innovation for enabling small-to-medium enterprises, SMEs in the manufacturing sector. He works mainly in three areas: computer-aided design (CAD), advanced manufacturing (AM), and inductive modeling (IM). One of his textbooks in CAD is heavily used in many North American Universities and Colleges while the other is listed by the publishers, Imperial College Press, London as one of the top-10 bestsellers. He currently works in the area of Additive Manufacturing (AM) popularly known as 3D Printing where he continues to investigate the functionality of additive manufactured parts based on machine input parameters, in order to make users understand the characteristics of Additive Manufacturing Technologies. He is internationally recognized for his work in inductive modeling (IM) especially in Europe where he gives public lectures and examines doctoral theses in the area in Universities; and he is currently the Lead Researcher here at Sheridan in applying this technology to the joint Sheridan-Nexflow project for studying the behaviors of Nexflow air products based on their operational parameters. He has authored over 140 papers in international journals/conference proceedings and at least 10 textbooks. For several years he has been serving on the International Program Committee for Inductive Modeling Conference, Europe. He is currently on the Editorial Boards of International Journal of Manufacturing Engineering; and Production Planning & Control. He continues to use his expertise in the domains of CAD, AM, and IM of his career as an engineering and technology educator to impact knowledge to students, and to advance productivity in the manufacturing industry sector in Canada and beyond.
