Course Description

2 1/2 Hours of training for an in-demand skill and software!

The entire process from design to final printed piece!

One of the most sought after skills in the Computer Aided Design industry!

30 Day money back guarantee!

In this series on Computer Aided Design, Logan Frank takes you through a User Interface and Navigation crash course in Dassault Systemes SOLIDWORKS. Once you've learned your way around, you'll be taken step by step through the creation of a motor mount for a multi-rotor airframe. This course will include setting up your files for 3D printing, and you'll get the opportunity to see the 3D printer in action, as well as the final replacement mount!

  • Understand Sketches, Features and what they are.
  • Construction Geometry and using it to efficiently locate aspects of Sketches.
  • Automatic Rebuilding and invoking it manually.
  • Solidworks Magnifying Glass.
  • The Rollback Bar.
  • Centerline Behaviors.
  • Understanding requirements and constraints during design.
This course requires only Solidworks. The 3D printing of the completed part is included to demonstrate the entire process from front to back but is not essential to completing the course. At 2 1/2 hours, this course is designed to get you working in Solidworks as quickly as possible. After an introduction to the UI and proper navigation, you'll complete a mini-project before tackling your motor mount. From there you'll work through the entire process from beginning to final printed component! Take this course to get your feet wet with Solidworks quickly and efficiently. This overview will take anyone with a basic familiarity in 3D or drafting from new to creating basic designs in just a few hours and is an excellent primer for more in-depth learning.

Very detailed in bringing up common pitfalls that can make for a very frustrating transition from other CAD platforms to Solidworks.

By Nicole Kahasha on 7/6/2022

The training was nice. The details are just enough to help the user setup their work space to their taste. I wish there was a more advanced section.

By John Roncallo on 3/29/2021

I'm a retired Aerospace Engineer. I'm fluent with Catia V5 but have no familiarity with Solidworks. This course is getting me up to speed.

By Andreas Kitsios on 2/8/2021

Although I'm pretty experienced with solidworks and no real lesson was learned by this, I can definitely say that the explanation and tutoring was pretty good. One thing I could note is that the tutor could be a little bit slower on his actions but I do understand that with his experience on the software this is much easier said than done.

By Anonymized User on 10/14/2019

What I really like about this course is, the instructor will tell you what key strokes he is using to manipulate the sketch, which other courses I've taken, fail to do.

By Anonymized User on 5/16/2018

Very good starting point for a beginner. I liked the step by step explanation about the GUI at the beginning. The only thing that is missing for me is the formulation of the core concepts of the building process in Solidworks (like list of rules).

By Anonymized User on 1/30/2018

Instructor was very clear good speed. Will be great if you have a practice period where you can pause it and practice.

By Anonymized User on 10/30/2017

Like what I have seen so far. Would like to see it in the latest version so I don't have to try to figure what I'm using vs what is being presented. So far it hasn't been to crazy in the differences.

By Dawn Toles on 9/27/2017

I have previous experience with Solidworks, so this is a nice refresher and I learned a few things I didn't know. Presenter does a very god job of explanations during each lesson.

By Mark Collins on 7/17/2015

The tutorial is relatively short compared to other courses, but gives all the essential introduction to the features of solidworks and then goes on to make a very simple component which is prototyped designed in solidworks and then made via a 3D printer to check prototype with other components for fitness of purpose. Nice Tutorial, but I think a few components to show all the features of solidworks or other ways to do the same thing would be nice to include.
