Course Description

Progress from complete beginner to Solidworks 2021 master in one single course!

Solidworks is one of the most popular and powerful 3D CAD programs in the world. Millions of people use it to design everything from 3D-printed toys all the way up to fully-working mechanical vehicles. Now you can join the ranks of Solidworks users, and learn to create your own models completely from scratch!
Why this course is different
There 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 instructor been using Solidworks since 2006 and has even taken a range of official Solidworks-certified training courses. The instructor currently 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 CAD program 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. 

  • Built on previous feedback! This course is built upon the instructors other best-selling Solidworks courses (2015, 2018 and 2019), and on the feedback from over 20,000 previous students alone.

  • Fully updated for Solidworks 2021! The course has been completely redesigned and optimised for the 2021 version of Solidworks and now includes specialist Features like the Thread Tool, Mounting Bosses, Snap Hooks, Lip & Groove, and more.
