Course Description

Progressfrom complete beginner to Solidworks 2018 master in one single course!
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.
About this courseThis courses includes:
Over 11 hours of high-quality original video.
All sections contain additional resources such as downloadable models and drawings, made specially for the course.
Increasing content over time. New exercises and videos are constantly being added.
On-hand support.
Have a question? We are always here to support any questions and take a look at your progress.
No prior knowledge needed. We take you from complete beginner all the way to mastering Solidworks!
You will learnOver the course of twelve detailed modelling you'll learn the entire range of Solidworks skills, including:
Circuitboard - Solidworks Basics, Sketching, Extrudes and CutsPencil - Multi-Body Parts, Revolved Boss/Base and CutsPencil Sharpener - AssembliesHeadphones - Swept Boss/Base, Splines and 3D SketchesCoke Bottle - Swept Cuts, Helixes and ThreadsComputer Mouse - Lofted Boss/Base and Splitting PartsKey Fob - Modelling from PhotographsLego Figure - More Complex Assemblies and Advanced MatesDrawer Box - Configurations and DrawingsRaspberry Pi Enclosure - Importing Parts and Draft AnglesBicycle Fork - 3D Curves and SweepsGamepad Controller - Ribs and an Entire Recap of the Earlier TechniquesCourse Conclusion and Future Learning!
The course is taught using Solidworks 2018 but the models and resources used will work with any version newer than that. If you have a previous version (2015-2017, or earlier) then my earlier course - "Master Solidworks 2015 3D CAD using real-world examples" will be more helpful! The techniques used are also common to many different CAD programs - so you can learn on Solidworks then easily transfer these skills if needed.
So sign up today, and begin your first steps in the exciting world of 3D modelling!
Who this course is for:
Anyone who would like to learn 3D CAD, whether for professional or personal use!
You may be a product designer wishing to expand your skills, a hobbyist looking to start 3D printing or an engineering enthusiast.
You may already know basic CAD and be looking to expand your skills, or you may be a complete beginner.

Instructor Details

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

good

By Jason Dsouza on 11/14/2020

The course is one of the best I've taken up so far. My designing skills have improved tremendously and there is a wealth of information in this course. Anyone who has learned the basics of solidworks modeling should take up this course to enhance his designing capabilities. Hope Mr. Ellison has more courses to offer in Solidworks surfacing and sheet metal in the future.

Excellent

Its nice

By Riccardo Taormina on 10/3/2020

Amazing experience, in just few lessons i feel very confident on drawing and modeling with SolidWorks. All the lessons were very clear and interesting. The teacher is very involving and the suggestions are always very useful. I started this course with zero experience in CAD modeling, and now i feel free and confident to develop my ideas and keep learning in the field.
This course was amazing, really really really worth the price!

By Jan Richard Moore on 10/1/2020

Definitely a good match for me. My only complaint so far is the instructor moves way too fast fort I am constantly having to pause the lesson.

By Errol Manago on 9/27/2020

Content is very comprehensive!
