In this course we will learn the fundamental tools and concepts for the SOLIDWORKS engineering and design software. SOLIDWORKS is one of the largest computer aided design (CAD) softwares globally used across numerous industries including manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, defense, medical devices, robotics & automation, consumer products, construction, and many more! This course will run through the core concepts and tools available within SOLIDWORKS to help us design and build any parts, drawings, and assemblies we may require for our specific projects.

What you’ll learn
  • we will learn assembly tools to help us design and build our assembly projects that contain multiple components.
  • you will have a strong foundation of the SOLIDWORKS fundamentals required to create and design your very own projects!
