SolidWorks Surfacing and Complex Shape Modeling

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Yesterday my copy of SolidWorks Surfacing by Matt Lombard arrived in the mail from Amazon! My boy likes all the colored images in the book… and I like the colored images in the book. We discussed boundary surface and debated lofting conditions.

From first glance, this book is full of insight that will get you up to speed fast on terminology and how surfacing works inside SolidWorks. I really like the sections on Using Specialized Techniques and Matt goes into the process of setting up the model, or rather, what to consider and the important information needed to start a more complicated shape.

It also uses a lot of real world type examples. I see a plastic bottle that looks like something in my cabinet. Congrats to Matt for getting this out. Go buy it and learn something today!

Wow, I'm sorry that I'm just now seeing this post, about a year late. Thanks for putting this up. I'll try to keep a better eye on things.
Josh M March 24, 2009 at 11:37 am: yeah, future complex shape modeler there buddy. you need to copy and save that pic for your “Children Indirectly Affected by My Writing” album
Matt Lombard March 24, 2009 at 2:13 pm: Yeah, I love Sebastian's look in that first image. That's about the age when they are figuring out leverage, and that's about the grip he needs to rip the cover off along with the last few pages. What's that white thing in his mouth? Is that a bite out of the index? The thicker paper tastes so much creamier than the other book. I was hoping for good testimonials from young users, not necessarily a taste test, but I'll settle for what I can get, I suppose.
