Solidworks Beginner

Master the fundamentals of 3D design and modeling with SolidWorks, one of the world’s most powerful CAD tools used by engineers, product designers, and manufacturers. This beginner-friendly course is designed to take you step by step from basic sketching to building fully functional 3D assemblies and technical drawings no prior experience required.

You’ll start by learning how to navigate the SolidWorks interface, create precise 2D sketches, and use essential 3D features like extrude, revolve, sweep, and loft. As you progress, you’ll apply these tools to real-world design projects such as modeling mechanical parts, designing assemblies, and generating professional engineering drawings with proper dimensions and tolerances.

By the end of this course, you’ll not only be able to create and modify your own 3D models confidently but also understand how to prepare them for manufacturing, rendering, and 3D printing. Whether you’re a student, engineer, hobbyist, or designer, this course will give you the hands-on skills to bring your ideas to life with SolidWorks.

What You’ll Learn:

• Navigate the SolidWorks interface and workspace efficiently

• Create and fully define 2D sketches with geometric and dimensional constraints

• Build 3D models using core features: Extrude, Revolve, Sweep, Loft, and Fillet

• Design assemblies and manage mates between components

• Produce engineering drawings and apply proper dimensions and tolerances

• Apply materials, appearances, and render your designs for presentation

• Prepare parts for 3D printing and manufacturing

Who This Course Is For:

• Complete beginners to SolidWorks or 3D modeling

• Engineering students and professionals entering product design

• Hobbyists or makers interested in mechanical design and 3D printing

• Anyone looking to strengthen their technical design portfolio

Requirements:

• No prior SolidWorks experience needed

• Access to SolidWorks 2020 or later (student or professional version recommended)
