Solidworks Books - A look at some of the popular books for learning solidworks

SolidWorks books and learning materials

Solidworks Bible

Solidworks books by Matt Lombard. The Solidworks "Bible" is a bit of a pretentious name for a SolidWorks text but overall it is a very good text for learning solidworks. It covers all the basics in a far more detailed way than even the help button in SolidWorks does. The book also goes on to discuss almost all of the advanced techniques. Matt Lombards writing style is easy to understand and not overly technical.

The examples are good and there are many of them. If you are learning SolidWorks, or just need a good reference text to look up a particular technique, this book will work on both counts. This presentation is not quite as snazzy as the "solidworks for dummies" book series. It's just plain, jane, matter of fact without any glowing light bulbs or big question marks.

The DVD included with the book contains a single zip file with all the projects shown in the book, categorized by chapter.

I checked this book in the Canadian Chapters bookstore where it was selling for $59.99 CDN / $49.99 USD in January of 2009. The Buy.com listing linked to in the picture is $29.70 USD with $3.60 USD shipping within the USA. Thats even cheaper than picking it up yourself, so its a good deal. If you find it even cheaper, let me know and I will try to list it here.

Solid works Books available on eBay

eBay is a great place to find Solid Works books new or gently used for excellent prices. Be careful though, study the vendors feedback carefully and deal only with those you know and trust.

  • The F-35, Joint strike search and rescue fighter
    The recent 16 billion dollar purchase of F-35 stealth fighters is a triumph in buying American . While Canada needs more search and rescue planes to patrol the oceans the Canadian government decides to purchase stealth fighters. One wonders what kind of a changing role the Canadian air force has up its sleeve for these high tech seek and destroy weapons.

    Perhaps the stealth and speed will allow our pilots to sneak up on sailors before they even get shipwrecked. The pilot can launch missiles at the pesky shoals or reefs blowing them up, preventing any marine disaster from ever happening.

    Canadian Pilots flying the joint strike fighter solo over the arctic are assured that the fighters engine is more “robust” and unlikely to fail. Much like the Titanic was unsinkable. It will be cold comfort to a our pilots, reflecting on their emergency manual which said “relax, your jet engine is robust” as they eject in 50 below temperature.

    Worse, the purchase of joint strike fighters protect American jobs, not Canadian ones, as the purchase of Bombardier search and rescue planes would have. Unfortunately when the Pentagon barks, we have to pay attention. This was true in the days of the Avro Arrow and now again with the F-35 joint strike fighter.
