Solid Works Industry Oriented Practice Modules

Practice part modeling using industrial methods to create a raw material block for assembly, then remove material to finish the part, with a focus on design for manufacturing and prototyping.

Learn to create a part model in SolidWorks by sketching center lines and circles, creating slots, applying extrude and cut features, and using mirrors and dimensions.

In SolidWorks part modelling practice module 06, sketch a center rectangle of 72 by 146 mm, extrude to 9 mm, then sketch and remove a slot to prepare for manufacture.

Learn SolidWorks part modelling through sketching, extruding, and extrude-cut operations, applying trim, concentric and coordinated constraints to create features from reference sketches.

Create a multi-feature part by sketching a center line, adding circles with defined diameters, and using extrude cut with dimensions to form holes, while considering units and stress concentration.

Create a park model in SolidWorks using cylinder and rectangle sketches, set inches units, apply diameters and radii, and extrude features to complete the part.

Practice part modeling by designing a cylindrical box, defining diameter and height with limits and tolerances, and creating a base material and inner diameter in a single sketch.

Develop part modelling skills in SolidWorks by building a reference center plane, base sketches, holes, threads, and an eight-point circular pattern, applying limits, tolerances, and dimension checks.

Assemble the remaining components using concentric and coincident constraints, insert washers and shaft parts, and align faces to complete a precise SolidWorks assembly.

Master assembly design by building sub-assemblies, selecting mating faces, and applying constraints to achieve a fully constrained model. Learn to import, copy, and align parts in SolidWorks to ensure fit.

Apply assembly design techniques in SolidWorks by constraining, aligning, and centering parts in an assembly, using concentric and symmetric constraints to assemble bottom cylinder, connecting rod, and rocker, checking interferences.

Import components, set a base component as reference, and apply mates to constrain the assembly with coincident, distance, angle, and perpendicular relations to finish a fully constrained whole assembly.

Import the D component, apply a concentric constraint to align parts, and set a distance to create a safe gap. Then add rotation constraints to make the assembly fully constrained.

Explore assembly design in SolidWorks by using hide and transparency controls to review component quantities, reveal hidden parts with fill with dependency, and manage visible versus hidden components.

Explore sheet metal operations in SolidWorks, including bending and cutting, with drafting, isometric views, dimensions, and hole patterns to support precise fabrication.

Master sheet metal design by building a single feature with forward and unfold, then fold and unfold, while sketching, punching, and applying manual reliefs for accurate parts.

Practice basic sheet metal design by creating a component from a metal sheet using base flange, edge flange, and four walls, with dimensions defined as needed.

Explore SolidWorks drafting fundamentals, including angular projection types (forced angle projection and third angle projection), minimal views, templates, and model-based or manual dimensions for irregular and cylindrical components.

learn to draft milling features and create slots, manage dimensions and instances, and ensure sufficient, non-conflicting dimensions for clear manufacturing of the component.

Explore drafting practice in SolidWorks by adding and aligning views, creating a cylindrical part with specified diameters, and using intersection view and model items to set base features and dimensions.

Practice drafting in SolidWorks by creating section views, setting center lines, detailing holes with specific diameters and dimensions, and assembling a clean, complete model.

Apply drafting practice in SolidWorks by using smart dimensions, reference dimensions for 45 degrees, centering features, hiding unnecessary items, and saving with manufacturer notes.

Practice drafting practice module focuses on applying radius and diameter dimensions, handling cases where a dimension cannot be given, removing unwanted dimensions, and refining sketch details with leaders and profiles.

Learn to create a manufacturing line assembly with multiple views, including isometric and diametric views, and develop exploded and custom views for clear drafting.

This lecture on drafting practice covers solid and surface models, saving in neutral formats like step, and exporting for use in other software.
