Course Description
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.
We will start by getting comfortable with the user interface and work-space of SOLIDWORKS, move onto creating our first sketch and design our first parts. Once we have learned a number of the core part design tools we will introduce drawing tools to generate technical or engineering drawings required to manufacture our parts. Finally, we will learn assembly tools to help us design and build our assembly projects that contain multiple components.
By the end of this course, you will have a strong foundation of the SOLIDWORKS fundamentals required to create and design your very own projects!

Exactly what I was looking for! A 1-afternoon intro to the basic functions, well narrated, easy to understand, and direct to the point without any fumbling around. Great course. I know some 3D/CAD basics but not this app, and used this to know if I want to spend money to use it or learn more.

The coarse provided me with a good understanding of the basics and what is possible with solidworks. I had no prior experience with the software and the coarse did a good job of providing me with everything I needed to complete each section.

The course is easy to follow and very well explained. It definitely meets the expectations for a first time user for learning the Solidworks program. The examples provided reinforce the material the instructor is presenting.

I like the course so far. However, I Wish there was more discussion around the file types. Having trouble finding the drawing sheets.
By Scott Serlin on 4/30/2024
Fantastic course!!!! I'm learning all sorts of trivia and nuances to Solidworks from it. What makes this course better than in-person learning is the ability to go back and forth while following each step in my own solidworks model.

This was a great refresher course on SolidWorks and the examples are easy to follow. My only trouble was with the shaft not fitting into the final assembly when making the parts to the dimensions listed. I recommend this course!
By Wallace Shao on 12/30/2020
it was good, but several times following the exact direction i got a different result, and there was never any information on what or why it happened, i had to pause and slowly click around to find out what was happening. Possibly because it’s a different version than what I have. otherwise was great tutorial and I was able to start creating parts in one week (albeit slowly) but for something so complicated, I think that’s great.

Very clear, precise, and useful step-by-step instructions. Content seems to have covered a nice basis of features and options. I definitely recommend this course if your goal is to acquire an all-around basic knowledge of SolidWorks.

The course and instruction were detailed and well composed
By Raumya Sarkar on 10/25/2020
very short coverage.. but covered the basics so easy to star with this course. also good for people who are trying to switch CAD software as it just explains how to start very fast and you can catch up with other things after this.

It is a good match and just what I needed!
By Matt Rehm on 10/15/2020
Seems like a perfect match so far.
