SolidWorks is a world leader in parametric design software suitable for those wishing to pursue a career in 3D modelling and drafting for fields related mostly to mechanical, product and furniture design. This easy-to-learn tool enables you to sketch ideas, experiment with features and dimensions, and produce a wide range of models, assemblies of models and detailed drawings. Our SolidWorks 1 course teaches you to create 2D sketches quickly and efficiently, 3D solid models from 2D sketches, assemblies of several solid components and a virtual simulation of an assembly in motion. Learn about the basic concepts of solid modelling, and practice generating drawings containing several views, annotations and a bill of materials. Acquire drawings and samples of parts during the course.
