Product Description
The Fundamentals of SolidWorks 2007 is designed for students, educators, hobbyists, and engineers to learn the basic principles of SolidWorks as it relates to the design of the VEXplorer robot. The VEXplorer is a 300 part robot kit manufactured by Innovation First, Inc. and Revell Inc. Innovation first engineers utilized SolidWorks to design the robot. Throughout this book, you will recreate VEXplorer components by developing SolidWorks parts, assemblies, drawings, photo-realistic renderings, analyses, and animations. This book starts out with a basic overview of the concepts and terminology used throughout this book using SolidWorks software. Each chapter addresses key features and tools in SolidWorks. The chapters provide individual short practice tutorials to review the required competencies. All models for the 40+ tutorials are provided on the CD enclosed with the book, along with their solutions. Table of Contents

Well done.. A classroom tool December 30, 2007
19 out of 19 found this review helpful
When my technology director asked me to create a pre-engineering class, I didn't know where to start. After talking to some high tech parents, they introduced me to SolidWorks. The students love it. It was so easy to get started and now my students are better than me. But I wanted to do more so I bought a VEX robot kit.
This book is a great way to combine learning CAD and building actually robots. The book takes students through making parts and in less than a week, students are creating parts on their own. With the book, my students have instructions on how to model the parts and compare to the actual parts. Then they assemble the parts in different configurations. Combining this book with VEX robot kit has been an affordable way to introduce engineering into the classroom. On parent's night, students present their portfolios complete with drawings. My director is happy, my students are happy and next term I have a full enrollment.
