3D CAD Fundamentals with SIEMENS Solid Edge
Requirements
- Before starting this class I recommend you take my class entitled: Solid Edge Sketching Fundamentals. You will also need to download the free academic version of the SIEMENS Solid Edge Software. This has basically all the same functionality as the $5000 Industrial version of Solid Edge.
Description
This course is a fast easy artistic approach to learning 3D CAD. This curriculum will open your eyes to an interesting world of patterns, shapes and creative design approaches. In effect this introduction to STEM is a collision of art, engineering and math. The format is open ended, creative while challenging; a practical, easy to follow cookbook approach to developing spatial thinking. You are free to work at your own pace, improving your skills independently of classroom pressures. Why take this course? After ten years of (trial and error) teaching university students new to Mechanical Engineering and Artistic Design I have worked hard to develop content that works.
We will use the Siemens Solid Edge software. This download is free to all students and is similar to Solidworks, Blender and Autodesk Inventor.
Who this course is for:
- Students interested in learning a creative approach to 3D Design and may have an interest in 3D printing the objects they create.

John Devitry a Research Fellow at the Center of Space Engineering - Utah State University 2015 - 2019. From 2004 – 2015 John taught the introductory classes for Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at USU while also working as the CAD Administrator at Space Dynamics Laboratory – the research arm of USU.
Over the years John has developed a unique and compelling approach to teaching mechanical engineering and 3D design, introducing the concept of Conceptual Design Blending as a way to facilitate creative thinking with engineering graphics students.
Earlier is his career John worked for 3D Systems, promoting rapid prototyping and rapid tooling technologies visiting hundreds of leading design and manufacturing companies around the world. He holds 3 patents developing the product from concept to market, selling the patent rights to independent investors. John enjoys writing and has published 3 articles in BYU Studies.
