SOLIDWORKS Class 1: Interface and Navigation (Skillshare)

Welcome to our first SOLIDWORKS Course covering Interface and Navigation. This class is the first of our SOLIDWORKS Class Series which consists of 12 short classes ranging from 15 mins to 1.5 hrs. The series will take you from knowing nothing about SOLIDWORKS to the Certified Professional Level (CSWP)

The learning objectives for this specific class are:

  • How to start a new part.
  • What is represented in the command bar, canvas and design tree.
  • How to select different measurement systems for your files.
  • How to utilize the mouse through right clicks, zooming and rotating the model through the scroll wheel.

For this class project, you will experiment with SOLIDWORKS sketching. You will:

  1. Open a new part
  2. Start a sketch.
  3. Sketch whatever shape that comes to mind by experimenting. Do not worry too much about that. 3. Next class will be all about sketching.

Watch lecture 9 for this class for details of how to go about this.

Introduction to 3D Printing: An Easy Start to Your First 3D Design (Skillshare)

Architecture & Design

This class will teach you exactly how to model a 3D hand-held, print-ready, object using only free tools, with no prior experience necessary. If you've been on the internet in the last year you've probably read an article (or two, or three) about 3D printing and how it's shaping the future of product design forever. Magic! This class will uncover the core processes behind the hype and share one of the most special qualities of the 3D printing revolution: that it's accessible to anyone and companies like Shapeways, where I work as a Designer Evangelist, are making the process easier than ever.

Architecture & Design

3D digital art can be an intimidating endeavor. All the different ways you can model and material are enough to make your head spin. Now add animation to that along with the complexity of whatever software you're using and you got an ice-cold cocktail of frustration and forgotten attempts at learning.
