SolidWorks Tutorial to Become a CSWA

Ever wanted to change your sketches into sophisticated 3D models? This beginner-friendly SolidWorks tutorial is the perfect choice for engineers, designers, or other enthusiasts that need to render their 2D sketches to full-fledged 3D prototypes. You will start by drawing a shape or an assembly and modeling it. 

Later on, you will be able to use this computer-aided design (CAD) program for testing your product in a cost-effective way. To take this SolidWorks training, you do not need to have any field-specific skills or knowledge. I will help you learn SolidWorks, navigate its interface, and use this program for real-life projects.

What is Solidworks? 

You might be asking: what is SolidWorks? Therefore, the first thing to address in this SolidWorks tutorial is the definition and use of this program. SolidWorks is a unique modeling software helping you produce 3D designs. After learning to use this software, you will be able to produce virtual prototypes of your products in various industry fields. 

The first step of using SolidWorks is producing 2D versions of your product, and then using the sketch to generate the 3D model. Since this software has many features available, I will be taking my time to introduce certain functions and to provide opportunities for real-life applications. To learn SolidWorks and take advantage of its range of features, I will also provide possible exercises for further practice in this SolidWorks tutorial. 

What does this beginner-friendly SolidWorks tutorial offer?

As mentioned before, you do not need to know how to use SolidWorks to take this course. Additionally, I am not going to bore you with pure theory. After all, this SolidWorks training is about helping you create your own projects, navigate in the program with ease, and to help you become a Certified SolidWorks Associate (CSWA). 

At first, this SolidWorks training course focuses on providing you with the basics that you need to use the program even if you are a beginner. I am going to give you an introduction to the following concepts and features of SolidWorks: 

• The purpose and use of the SolidWorks program. 
• The advantages of having SolidWorks certificates. 
• The navigation principles in the SolidWorks software. 
• How to start sketching in SolidWorks, how to use dimensions, relations, angles, and lines. 
• How to use SolidWorks commands (mirror, offset, patterns, trim). 
• How to use the basic and more advanced features, establish design priorities, and put this theory into practice with interesting exercises. 
• How to use more than 10 different features for creating 3D models. 
• How to find best-suited materials for your models, mass, volume, and center of gravity. 
• And so much more!

Therefore, this SolidWorks tutorial will help you learn SolidWorks basics and tip your toe into the advanced features. Additionally, these lessons will help you pass the exams for becoming the SolidWorks Associate (CSWA), which proves that you have skills and knowledge in the field. I will provide you with the necessary material for preparing yourself for the exam and learning how to use SolidWorks properly. Do not forget to practice to make sure that you get practical skills next to the perfect understanding of the theory!
