I just finished this book. It's a comprehensive deep dive into working with Sheet Metal features in SolidWorks. I went looking for material on this topic because it was frequently requested by my customers. Johno Ellison masterfully wrote this book so that even with a basic understanding of SolidWorks, you can will end up becoming highly proficient with Sheet Metal features by the end of it.I use what I learned in this book to mock up boxes and packaging. Many electronic components are encased in sheet metal enclosures, you can see how valuable this skill is. My verdict....get the book. You will learn a lot.

I found it a very scholarly book for those seeking to master Solidworks related to Sheet Metal. This book contained 13 Chapters and covered a wide range of sheet metal industries' needs. The fundamentals and advanced sheet metal techniques are easy to understand step-by-step and protect from essential tools to complex setups. I would recommend industries and educations practitioner to have at least a copy of it.
