Can anyone recomend a reference book / guide / website / etc. for best practises when doing advanced surface modeling (specifically for product design)?
I am designing for injection molding and want my parts to both look really cool, as well as being constructed (in solidworks) in a robust professional manner.
Thanks!
Other than the official SolidWorks Training manuals, I can recommend you Matt Lombard's Bible:
http://www.amazon.com/SolidWorks-Surfacing-Complex-Modeling-ebook/dp/B005USEDJ6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1348531076&sr=8-3&keywords=surface+bible
You can also try the Camaro Tutorial created by Matthew Perez: http://www.solidworkslessons.info/ which is an amazing hands-on experience in surfacing.
Otherwise, if you have time, you can find a lot of information on youtube.
