Design your world with SOLIDWORKS

- Hi, I'm Gabriel Corbett and welcome to Learning SOLIDWORKS. SOLIDWORKS is the world leader in 3D solid modeling software used in product design and development. This course is designed to get you up to speed fast using the software. Many people transition jobs, start jobs or careers, and need a basic overview on learning a software tool. This course focuses on the need to know tools to get you designing parts, assemblies and drawings in only a few hours. We'll start with the basic sketch tools and create two dimensional sketches that will become the foundation for 3D objects. Next, we'll create 3D solves by extruding or evolving sketches into 3D parts. We'll then modify the shape of these parts using tools like the Phillip chamfer tools and so many more. Next, we'll learn how to create uniform standard hole sizes using the automated Hole Wizard. And that's just the beginning. We'll explore more advanced modeling techniques using the linear and circular patterns and the mere commands. We'll then cover the best practices for putting parts together into assemblies and building robust structures. Finally, we'll see how to create drawings to relate the final parts and assemblies to a manufacturer complete with an itemized bill of materials and drawing notes. This course will benefit anyone looking for a quick and easy way to get started using SOLIDWORKS in a condensed format. Now, let's get started with Learning SOLIDWORKS .
