Master SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD using real-world examples

Progress from complete beginner to SolidWorks master — in one 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 to fully-working mechanical vehicles. Now you can join them, and learn to create your own models completely from scratch!

Why this course is different

There are plenty of SolidWorks courses online — but none quite like this one:

• Real-world examples throughout. Every lesson is grounded in practical, relatable projects, making techniques easier to understand and remember.

• Taught by a working professional. Your instructor has used SolidWorks since 2006, holds both a SolidWorks Certified Associate and Certified Professional qualification, and works daily as a Product Design Engineer — designing real products for real clients. No academic-only experience here.

• No prior knowledge needed. Never touched a CAD program before? No problem. This course takes you from absolute zero to modelling almost anything you can imagine.

• Understand the bigger picture. Beyond the techniques, you'll learn how CAD fits into real-world applications like 3D printing and injection moulding.

• Built on 40,000+ students' feedback. This course is the evolution of the instructor's previous bestselling SolidWorks courses (2015, 2018, 2019), refined based on feedback from tens of thousands of Udemy students.

What you'll learn

You'll build twelve detailed real-world models, covering the full range of SolidWorks skills:

1. Circuitboard — Basics, sketching, extrudes and cuts

2. Pencil — Multi-body parts, revolved boss/base and cuts

3. Pencil Sharpener — Assemblies

4. Headphones — Swept boss/base, splines and 3D sketches

5. Coke Bottle — Swept cuts, helixes and threads

6. Computer Mouse — Lofted boss/base and splitting parts

7. Key Fob — Modelling from photographs

8. Lego Figure — Complex assemblies and advanced mates

9. Drawer Box — Configurations and drawings

10. Raspberry Pi Enclosure — Importing parts and draft angles

11. Bicycle Fork — 3D curves and sweeps

12. Gamepad Controller — Ribs and a full recap of earlier techniques
    

A note on versions

The course is taught in SolidWorks 2021, and all models and resources are compatible with any newer version. Using an older version (2015–2020)? Check out the instructor's earlier courses: Master SolidWorks 2015/2018/2019 3D CAD Using Real-World Examples.

The techniques covered also transfer well to other CAD programs, so the skills you build here won't be locked to SolidWorks alone.
