What’s in the course
This course starts from scratch assuming you know nothing about Solidworks and basic things like navigation tools, setting units and making simple sketches are introduced first-hand. Gradually you will learn to make simple as well as complex 3D parts using part modelling tools.
Rather than explaining how the tool and command work the course focuses on how these tools and commands can be used in a real-world situation and hence almost all the videos are explained with examples of real-world applications.
Currently, this course covers part modelling, assembly and drawing sections of Solidworks.
Course structure
Every chapter contains video lessons, practise exercises and quizzes to help you assess your performance of every chapter. At the end of this course, there is a practical project where you will learn to make a Connecting Rod right from scratch including its smaller components and also you will learn to assemble it and convert the assembly and parts into manufacturing-ready drawings.
Once you finish the course…
After finishing the course you will be able to make your own parts, assemblies and drawings using Solidworks. You will also be able to make manufacturing-ready drawings and parts with proper specifications and drafting standards.
Who should enrol in this course
This course is for you if you are a student, professional or hobbyist who just wants to learn Solidworks right from scratch with instructor support.
Instructor support
Whenever you have a subject matter question you can post it in the Q&A forum and I will answer your questions as soon as possible.
So, with the course, you not only get the video lessons but also quick and responsive support from the instructor.
Pre-requisites for the course
Solidworks 2021 and later versions are compatible with this course. You can follow along using older versions of Solidworks as well but some lesson files won’t work with older versions.
If you are a student you can get a student copy of Solidworks from approved vendors and the student copy is available at a fraction of the cost of Solidworks software and is almost completely identical to the full software.
