 Cadguy's Review, April 16, 2008
Reviewer: Dennis Bacon (Rocklin, CA)
At present I have just finished chapter 7 of course 2 and have
to tell you that so far I've found the courses to be very informative and
conclusive in regards to sheet metal applications in SolidWorks. When I noticed
you applying equations right from the start I knew I was in for a treat. At this
point I can't say that I've broken new ground (I have used s/w for 5 years now
as my primary cad program and really made a science of it), but from what I've
seen it's good to know that the methods I use are the same or similar as to what
I've seen in these books. I do feel more confident now in knowing that what I've
been doing is the same as others in the field and it is great to be able to
review some things I had forgotten. I sure do wish I had this information
available 5 years ago when I started with SolidWorks.
Prior to purchasing these books I did some research on the Sheet Metal Guy
website in order to get a feel for what I could expect. The only conclusion one
could come to is that you guys know what you a talking about so I made the
purchase. When I started in sheet metal over 40 years ago I was using a slide
rule, scribes, and dykem, for my calculations in order to solve what I thought
were complex problems. Things have changed since then.
I'm excited and looking forward to starting chapter 8.
