SOLIDWORKS Exercises – Learn by Practicing (4th Edition) is designed to help engineers, designers, students, and CAD enthusiasts develop professional SOLIDWORKS skills through hands-on practice.

This is not a step-by-step tutorial book. Instead, it is a practice-oriented workbook that challenges you to analyze engineering drawings and create the models using the powerful tools available in SOLIDWORKS. This approach helps develop critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and real-world modeling skills that are essential for professional design work.

The book contains 100 real-world mechanical modeling exercises covering a wide range of components and varying levels of complexity. By completing these exercises, you will strengthen your sketching, feature creation, and solid modeling skills while gaining confidence in tackling real-world design challenges. 

To support your learning, all exercise files are available for free download, and video instructions for every exercise can be accessed through the CADArtifex website whenever additional guidance is needed. 

This book is suitable for a wide range of users, from beginners looking to improve their modeling skills to experienced users seeking additional practice. Although the exercises are demonstrated using SOLIDWORKS, they can also be completed using other parametric CAD software such as CATIA, Creo Parametric, NX, Autodesk Inventor, and Solid Edge.
