An Introduction to SOLIDWORKS

SOLIDWORKS is the world leader in 3D software for product development and design. With SOLIDWORKS you can create manufacturing-ready parts and assemblies, as well as detailed drawings and bills of materials.

This course will take you from no experience to building 3D parts and assemblies, and turn them into production ready manufacturing drawings.

In this course we'll show students how to create manufacturing-ready parts and assemblies in SOLIDWORKS. We'll begin with simple 2D sketching and the software's sketch-editing tools as we provide step-by-step instruction on building 3D geometry from 2D sketches.

Best practice for designing parts is emphasized throughout the course as well as methods for creating parts faster and easier using equations, mirroring, and patterning tools. After completing this course you'll understand all the core concepts of SOLIDWORKS.
