    Try to copy the model I make in the video, then pick an object with complex curves around your house to try and model. (E.g. Ergonomic handle, Iron, etc)

Requirements

  • No previous CAD knowledge needed, you'll learn all you need here.
  • Ideally you'll know how to read an engineering drawing at a basic level, this can be learned on youtube for free.

Description

In this course, you will learn the basics through to advanced CAD techniques through the use of Solid Edge (Community Edition) by Siemens. The software can be downloaded for free on Siemens website by searching for "Solid Edge (Community Edition)" on google.


Please make sure that your computer meets the following specs otherwise the software won't be able to run:

  • Windows 10 Enterprise or Professional (64-bit only) version 20H2 or later

  • 9.0 GB of disk space required for installation (includes prerequisites)

  • 16 GB RAM for commercial users and 8 GB RAM for academic users

  • 65K Colors

  • Screen Resolution: 1920 x 1080


To follow along with the course and practice material, you will need to buy the book:

SOLIDWORKS Exercises - Learn by Practicing (3rd Edition) by CADArtifex


Throughout the course, I will use this book to demonstrate the techniques used to create the models. The book contains 100 CAD models which steadily increase in difficulty - making it perfect for beginners. After each video lecture I will set you coursework using relevant models from the book for you to practice the methods discussed. The book itself contains video solutions to the models but try to refrain from using these as they will make it harder for you to develop an intuition for developing CAD models.

Who this course is for:

  • Students on their way to college/university for engineering designing
  • 3D Printing hobbyists
  • Industry professionals looking to learn the software for a new job at low cost
