What you'll learn
This course provides a comprehensive understanding of SolidWorks for 3D part and assembly modeling used in mechanical and industrial design. Students will learn how to design machine components, sheet metal parts, assemblies, mechanisms, detailed drawings, and rendering for presentations. The course enables students to create professional industrial designs as per manufacturing requirements.
Through hands-on project-based learning, candidates will gain expertise in parametric modeling, constraints, surface design, assembly mating, drawing sheets, GD&T basics, and simulation overview.
This course is ideal for mechanical engineers, diploma holders, CAD designers, and working professionals.
