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 examplesduring 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 12,000 previous studentson Udemy 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.

About this course

You will learn

Over the course of twelve detailed models you’ll learn the entire range of Solidworks skills, including:

Circuitboard– Solidworks Basics, Sketching, Extrudes and Cuts
Pencil– Multi-Body Parts, Revolved Boss/Base and Cuts
Pencil Sharpener– Assemblies
Headphones – Swept Boss/Base, Splines and 3D Sketches
Coke Bottle– Swept Cuts, Helixes and Threads
Computer Mouse – Lofted Boss/Base and Splitting Parts
Key Fob – Modelling from Photographs
Lego Figure – More Complex Assemblies and Advanced Mates
Drawer Box– Configurations and Drawings
Raspberry Pi Enclosure – Importing Parts and Draft Angles
Bicycle Fork– 3D Curves and Sweeps
Gamepad Controller– Ribs and an Entire Recap of the Earlier Techniques
Course Conclusion and Future Learning!

The course is taught using Solidworks 2021but the models and resources used will work with any version newer than that. If you have a previous version (2015-2020, or earlier) then my earlier courses – “Master Solidworks 2015/2018/2019 3D CAD using real-world examples” will be more helpful!

The techniques used are also common to many different CAD programs – so you can learn on Solidworks then easily transfer these skills if needed.

So sign up today, and begin your first steps in the exciting world of 3D modelling!
