Learn flange coupling design and assembly workflows in SolidWorks on day 25, focusing on part modeling and assemblies.
Welcome to the ultimate 65-Day SolidWorks Challenge. This is a 100% project-based curriculum designed for those who want to master CAD by actually doing the work. Over the next 65 days, you will complete 65 unique projects, moving from basic mechanical components to complex, multi-body industrial mechanisms.
Every day for 65 days, you unlock a new project. We don't just "talk" about tools—we use them to solve design problems. By the end of this course, you will have a massive professional portfolio of parts and assemblies that prove your proficiency.
What You Will Build in These 65 Days:
Section 1: Part Modeling Mastery (Days 1–40)
27 Solid Modeling Projects: Master the fundamentals and advanced features by building items like Heat Sinks, Sprocket Wheels, Flange Couplings, and even the iPhone 17 series using complex configurations and Design Tables.
8 Surface Modeling Projects: Learn to create organic, ergonomic shapes including Flower Vases, Cosmetics Tubes, toothbrush and a Car Spoiler.
5 Sheet Metal Projects: Transition into industrial manufacturing by designing Electronic Enclosures, Vent Grills, and specialized brackets ready for the shop floor.
Section 2: Assembly Modeling (Days 41–55)
15 Functional Assembly Projects: Bring your parts to life. You will build and animate complex mechanisms including a Geneva Drive, a Planetary Gearbox, a Scissor Jack, and a Stirling Engine.
Professional Mating & Motion: Learn to use Standard, Advanced, and Mechanical mates to ensure your assemblies move exactly like the real world.
Animations and Motion Study: Learn to use animation wizard to create mechanical animations and workflows of conducting motion studies and analysis with Newton's Cradle and CAM Follower mechanism.
Section 3: Engineering Drawings (Days 56–65)
10 Engineering Drawing Projects: Create engineering drawings of parts and assemblies created in previous 2 sections.
Drawing Concepts: Learn how to create Bill of Material tables for assemblies, introduction to GD&T, Bend tables for Sheet Metal Projects and more.
What You Will Master:
Parametric Sketching: Create robust, fully-defined sketches that never break.
Design Tables & Configurations: Manage multiple versions of a product in a single file.
Interference Detection: Ensure every part fits perfectly before production.
Industry Workflows: Learn the exact CAD standards used by professional Mechanical Engineers.
So, jump in and let's start learning by doing.
