Course Description

Learn the fundamentals of SOLIDWORKS Sheet Metal and develop the skills needed to design manufacturable sheet metal parts with confidence


This course provides a structured, beginner-friendly introduction to sheet metal design, teaching you the essential tools, workflows, and best practices used in real engineering and manufacturing projects.


This isn't a course where you simply watch demonstrations and move on. You'll design sheet metal parts alongside the instructor, complete practical exercises, and build beginner-friendly projects that reinforce every new concept. Each lesson is designed to help you gain hands-on experience while understanding how sheet metal parts are created and prepared for manufacturing.


You'll go beyond learning individual sheet metal commands. You'll understand how and when to use:

- Base Flange

- Edge Flange

- Miter Flange

- Sketched Bend

- Jog

- Hem

- Closed Corner

- Corner Relief

- Lofted Bend

- Convert to Sheet Metal

- Flatten

- and other essential tools.


You'll also learn how these features work together to create accurate, manufacturable sheet metal components while following efficient design workflows.


As a Udemy bestselling SOLIDWORKS instructor, I've helped more than 50,000 students worldwide build practical SOLIDWORKS skills through clear explanations, hands-on exercises, and real-world examples. My teaching focuses on helping students understand not only how each tool works, but also how to apply it confidently in engineering and manufacturing projects.

Instructor Details

Alen Oletic

I’m a mechanical engineer, CAD instructor, and course creator with a Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering.

Before becoming an online instructor, I worked in mechanical design, including designing welding resistance machines and other mechanical systems. This practical engineering experience helped me understand not only how CAD tools work, but also how they are used in real engineering and manufacturing environments.

Over the years, I have taught more than 50,000 students around the world and received over 3,000 reviews with an average rating of 4.6 stars. I have also created 3 bestselling courses on Udemy, helping students learn SOLIDWORKS, prepare for certification exams, and build practical CAD skills.

My teaching style is step-by-step, clear, and project-based. I focus on helping beginners understand what to learn first, how to build strong CAD foundations, and how to apply SOLIDWORKS tools in real modeling situations.

I know how confusing CAD can feel when you are just starting out. That is why my goal is to make complex tools easier to understand and help students gain confidence through structured lessons, practical examples, and real projects.

Whether you want to learn SOLIDWORKS from scratch, improve your modeling skills, or prepare for certification, my courses are designed to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

at first i thought it's just a course then i was amazed of it. I haven't finish it yet but i like the way things are explaned thanks you @Alen Oletic about this course

By Vasko on 1/9/2026

Perfect course. Strongly recommend for every student/designer with accent on sheet metal. Also multiparts, accembly and 2d drawing. All in one place.

By Zac Clingaman on 7/14/2025

The instructor keeps repeating himself three, four, five times which is very annoying and slow. His english is ok but not great.

By Aidin Alinezhad on 11/29/2024

The video playing has problem and when you stop it, it plays again with no reason. The teacher sometimes repeats the sentences several times. It sounds that he was not ready to talk in English during recording

By Brannan Barber on 4/2/2024

This course seems straightforward. I have experience with SolidWorks, so it seems too simple to me. But I can see that it would help a beginner

By Angel Eleno Lopez Ramirez on 2/6/2022

Excelente curso, explica a detalle cada una de las funciones de Sheet Metal, de manera que no quede duda en el uso de cada una de las funciones.

By Julián Esteban Sánchez Marinucci on 1/13/2022

el audio podria mejorar, a veces cuesta entender que dice y los subtitulos automaticos traducen de muy mala manera al punto se ser incomprensible
