Course Description
Solidworks is one of the popular and powerful 3DCAD programs in the world. Millions of people use it to design everything from 3D-printed toys allthe way up to fully-working mechanical vehicles. Now you can join the rank of Solidworks users, and learn to create your own models completely from scratch!
Why this course is differentThere are many Solidworks courses online, but none quite like this one:
We use real world examples during learning! This allows you to relate to your lessons more easily and so remember and understand them better!
Taught by a Solidworks professional! The instructorbeen using Solidworks since 2006 and even taken a range of official Solidworks-certified training courses. The instructorcurrently works as a Product Design Engineer and uses Solidworks every day to design all sorts of things for real clients - no academic-only experience here!
No prior knowledge needed.
This course is designed to take you from having never used any CADprogram before to being able to model almost anything you can imagine!
Understand the wider context of CAD use. As well as explaining the basic CAD techniques this course also details how they relate to real world uses, such as 3D Printing and injection molding.

Johno Ellison
I am a UK design engineer who specialises particularly in Solidworks 3D CAD modelling.
I have a wide range of Design Engineering experience covering areas including mechanisms, 3D printing, materials selection, rapid prototyping and other design and manufacturing techniques.
I have more than twelveyears of Solidworks experience and hold a First Class Honours degree in Sustainable Product Design from a Top 25 UK university. I have also completed a range of Solidworks-certified training courses in the UK.
I particularly enjoy working on projects which solve mechanical problems using innovative ideas and mechanisms. I previously trained as a helicopter pilot in the Royal Air Force and am a keen mountain biker, and these experiences and skills feed into my love of mechanical design.
I have travelled extensively. Prior to becoming a full-time freelancer I drove a vintage London Black Cab from London to Sydney, passing through fifty countries, setting two Guinness World Records and raising over 20,000 for the British Red Cross, before writing a book about the adventure.This innate curiosity to explore and investigate how things are done differently around the world provides me with a wide range of design inspiration.
I have been freelancing full-time for almost fouryears with over 200 satisfied clients from every continent except South America. These clients range from individuals with a simple shower thought idea, to large companies with mo
