Description
This course is ideal for beginners wanting to learn CAD. Onshape is one of the world’s most popular online CAD packages and is FREE for education and home use. Developed by the founders of Solidworks, Onshape is unique in that it is accessed through a web browser. There is no need to download any software, everything is access through a web browser. If you have an interest in designing your own 3D models then this course will teach you the skills. After the first couple of tutorials, you'll ve straight into 3D modeling with ease.
There are 36 tutorials delivered by Phil Cotton, a High School Technology teacher in the UK, founder of learnbylayers and a certified CAD instructor. Phil has taught thousands of students and teachers the basics of 3D design. The course will build your skills from an absolute beginner, creating basic models to being confident in designing complex models, such as Iphone cases and Arduino cases.
Topics covered include;
Sketching 2D profiles and converting to 3D shapes
Adding dimensions
Projecting Sketches
Extruding shapes
Creating shells
Adding fillets
Adding holes
Creating chamfers
Offsetting workplanes
Editing sketches
Creating a section view
Creating sweeps, revolves and lofts
Designing models including brackets, vases, lampshade, iphones, iphone cases, door signs and Arduino cases.
This course will build your skills in creating 3D designs and will teach you a range of tips and tricks to designing 3D models.
Who this course is for:
- Beginners wanting to learn 3D design
- Teachers
- Hobby users
- homeschooler
- University students
- CAD users wanting to learn Onshape

Instructor
I have been a high school technology teacher in the UK for over 10 years and have taught thousands of students how to 3D print. I am also an Autodesk Instructor for the UK National STEM Centre and have trained hundreds of teachers and schools on 3D printing in the classroom.
I am also the founder of learnbylayers an online platform that provides curriculum resources for teachers. This is currently used by schools in over 33 countries to 500,000 students.
Creating curriculum content is what I do alongside my teaching role. The courses I have created here are adaptations of the classroom curriculums on learnbylayers. The content has been adapted for a home learning/self-tuition environment and is tried and tested in classrooms around the world.
The main focus of all my courses is 3D printing and how to create models for 3D printing. Either via learning code or CAD design. I am really excited that you are interested in one of my courses and I will keep you in safe hands taking you through the lessons step by step.
I always appreciate feedback so please feel free to message me here or reach out through one of the social media channels.
