Solid Edge 2025 for Engineers and Designers

Solid Edge 2025 is a powerful CAD solution widely used in the engineering and manufacturing industries for parametric and synchronous 3D modelling. This book provides a structured and beginner-friendly approach to learning Solid Edge from the ground up. It guides readers through the essential tools, workflows, and design methodologies used by professionals.

Starting from basic sketching techniques, the book gradually introduces part modelling, assembly creation, and drafting. Real-world examples and practical exercises help learners build confidence and apply their skills to real design scenarios.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
● Navigate and customize the Solid Edge 2025 interface.
● Create fully-defined sketches using constraints and dimensions.
● Build parametric 3D parts using ordered and synchronous modelling.
● Develop assemblies with proper relationships and motion understanding.
● Generate production-ready 2D drawings from 3D models.

WHO THIS BOOK IS FOR
This book is ideal for engineering students, mechanical engineers, design engineers, CAD drafters, product designers, and manufacturing professionals. It is also suitable for beginners entering the field of parametric 3D CAD modelling and professionals transitioning to Solid Edge from other CAD platforms.
