Hi
My name is Alex, and I am a Design Engineer.
I have been working for more than 18 years with Catia V5 in automotive engineering, racing and industrial design.
All the knowledge and experience that I gained helped me work with companies like
Ferrari Formula One Team, Red Bull Racing, Jaguar Land Rover, Aston Martin and others
In this course I will show you how to design a few interesting and complex projects.
We will design those projects together, part by part and step by step .
We will cover complex sketches, different type of parts, complex assembly, simulations and practice assignments.
For every video there are part files attached to study and to make measurements.
There are also files that work with all the Catia V5 versions
This course is also fit to use with Catia V5 Student Edition.
The videos are packed with tips and advices that I have, after many years of designing projects for companies.
I selected those projects so you can use them in your portfolio if you wish.
With all of this said. This course is a cheat code.
To be able to take chance on opportunities you need experience, and experience is built only with practice.
See you in the course!
