The complete, bestselling SolidWorks 3D CAD course – master modelling for 3D printing, engineering & professional design
InstructorJohno EllisonEditorial course preview
These 4 complementary views highlight concrete, legible examples from the course presentation.
The SolidWorks interface displays a 3D model of a green PCB with the Appearances, Scenes, and Decals manager active for material customization.
This view shows the SOLIDWORKS interface during a sketching exercise, highlighting precise dimensioning and constraints used to define a pencil profile.
A SolidWorks assembly workspace displaying a bicycle wheel and fork model being constructed, accompanied by on-screen instructions to verify component fit.
The instructor is shown alongside a collection of 3D models representing real-world examples used in the course, such as a mouse, bottle, and gamepad.
The curriculum avoids overwhelming students by introducing specific tools and menus only when they are required for the current project, expanding knowledge incrementally.
Instruction covers industry-relevant concepts such as draft angles for injection molding and parting line analysis.
As models increase in complexity, some resources may lack the full dimensions required to recreate parts solely from provided drawings.
One signal suggests that fast clicking and unclear language can occasionally make following the instructor's cursor difficult.
The curriculum aligns well with the target of beginners and hobbyists, though it may not suit those using browser-based versions.
