About this course

Learn SolidWorks and Build Real Mechanical Designs

Learn SolidWorks from the ground up and develop the practical skills needed to design, model, and document mechanical components used in real engineering and manufacturing environments.

This course takes you through SolidWorks step by step, starting with basic sketches and gradually moving into 3D part modeling, assemblies, technical drawings, sheet metal, and more advanced modeling techniques.

The training is project-based, so you'll have the opportunity to apply what you learn to realistic engineering projects rather than simply following software demonstrations.

By the end of the course, you'll be able to create complete mechanical parts, build assemblies, produce professional technical drawings, and prepare your designs for manufacturing.

What You Will Learn

Sketching and Parametric Design

  • Create accurate 2D sketches
  • Use geometric relations and dimensions
  • Fully define sketches
  • Understand parametric modeling
  • Build a strong foundation for 3D modeling

3D Part Modeling

Learn how to create mechanical parts using essential SolidWorks features, including:

  • Extrude
  • Revolve
  • Sweep
  • Loft
  • Fillets and chamfers
  • Holes and patterns
  • Reference geometry
  • Multi-body parts

Advanced Part Design

  • Work with more advanced modeling features
  • Create complex mechanical shapes
  • Understand design intent
  • Build and modify multi-body models
  • Improve your modeling workflow

Assembly Design

  • Create assemblies from individual components
  • Apply mates and relationships
  • Check how components interact
  • Understand basic assembly motion
  • Identify potential design issues
  • Build functional mechanical assemblies

Engineering Drawings

Learn how to turn your 3D models into professional technical documentation.

You'll work with:

  • Drawing views
  • Dimensions
  • Section views
  • Detail views
  • Annotations
  • Bill of Materials (BOM)
  • Production-ready documentation

Sheet Metal Design

  • Create sheet metal components
  • Work with bends and folds
  • Create flat patterns
  • Prepare sheet metal designs for manufacturing
  • Understand common sheet metal workflows

Surface Modeling

  • Understand the basics of surface modeling
  • Create more complex shapes
  • Combine solid and surface features
  • Work with designs that are difficult to create using standard solid modeling techniques

Manufacturing File Preparation

Learn how to prepare and export your designs for different manufacturing processes.

You'll work with common formats such as:

  • PDF
  • DXF
  • STEP
  • Other standard CAD formats

Course Modules

1. Sketching and Part Modeling Fundamentals

Start with the SolidWorks interface and learn the fundamentals of sketching, dimensions, relations, and basic 3D modeling.

2. Advanced Part Features

Move beyond the basics and learn how to create more detailed and complex mechanical components using advanced modeling features.

3. Assembly Design and Motion

Learn how to bring individual parts together, create functional assemblies, apply mates, and check component movement.

4. Engineering Drawings and Documentation

Create professional technical drawings with dimensions, annotations, views, and BOMs that can be used to communicate designs for manufacturing.

5. Sheet Metal and Surface Modeling

Explore additional SolidWorks tools for designing sheet metal components and creating more complex geometries.

6. Final Project

Put everything you've learned together in a complete engineering project.

You'll work through the design process from the initial concept and modeling stage to assembly, documentation, and final file preparation.

What You Will Gain

  • Solid foundation in SolidWorks
  • Practical experience with mechanical modeling
  • Experience designing parts and assemblies
  • Knowledge of engineering drawings and documentation
  • Understanding of manufacturing-ready design
  • Experience with sheet metal and surface modeling
  • Real project experience
  • A portfolio-ready engineering project
  • Certificate of Completion

Who Is This Course For?

This course is suitable for:

  • Mechanical engineering students
  • Mechanical engineers who want to improve their CAD skills

  • Students interested in product design
  • Professionals working in manufacturing
  • Anyone interested in mechanical design and 3D modeling

Why Learn SolidWorks?

SolidWorks is widely used for mechanical design, product development, engineering, and manufacturing.

Learning the software is not only about knowing which tools to click. A good SolidWorks workflow requires an understanding of design intent, modeling techniques, assemblies, technical documentation, and how designs eventually move into manufacturing.

This course focuses on those practical skills so you can go beyond creating simple 3D models and start working on complete engineering designs.
