Video Training / 3D Tuts & Design →SolidWorks: Automotive & Industrial | Beginner to CSWA-CSWP

What you'll learn

⚡ Master SolidWorks from zero: sketching, part modeling, assemblies, and 2D drawings
⚡ Prepare for the CSWA and CSWP exams with a full question-by-question walkthrough of a real exam
⚡ Learn core mechanical engineering: materials, tolerances and fits, GD&T, stress analysis, and design for manufacturing
⚡ Gain insider tips from 20+ years of experience in automotive, racing, and industrial design
⚡ Learn advanced features: lofts, sweeps, boundary surfaces, threads, and complex patterns
⚡ Build assemblies with standard, mechanical, and advanced mates, plus exploded views
⚡ Create professional manufacturing drawings with dimensions, sections, and annotations
⚡ Practice with exercises between lessons and advanced challenges at the end of the course

Requirements

❗ Solidworks software installed and working (2013-2025)
❗ No prior CAD or engineering experience needed, we start from zero
❗ A mouse with a scroll wheel is strongly recommended for 3D navigation
❗ Optional: CSWA/CSWP exam credits, only if you decide to take the certification exams (not required to follow the course)

Description

Learn SolidWorks the way it's actually used in industry, from a design engineer with more than 20 years of experience in automotive, racing, and industrial design.
This is a complete path from your very first sketch to CSWA and CSWP certification. You don't need any prior CAD experience. Everything is explained step by step, and every concept is reinforced with practical exercises taken from real engineering work.
What makes this course different
Most SolidWorks courses teach you where the buttons are. This course teaches you how to think like a design engineer. Alongside the software training, you get a full section on the knowledge every mechanical engineer should have: materials and material selection, tolerances and fits, GD&T, stress and failure analysis, fasteners and joining methods, and design for manufacturing (DFM and DFA). This is the context that turns a SolidWorks user into an engineer that companies want to hire.

What You Will Learn

✨Sketching: profiles, dimensions, relations, patterns, and the workflow habits that keep your models stable
✨Part modeling: from extrudes and revolves to lofts, sweeps, boundary features, advanced holes, threads, and complex patterns
✨Assemblies: standard, mechanical, and advanced mates, component patterns, exploded views, section views, and large assembly management
✨Drawings: professional 2D manufacturing drawings with views, sections, dimensions, notes, symbols, and annotations
✨Certification: dedicated CSWA and CSWP sections, including a full walkthrough of a real CSWA exam, question by question, so you know exactly what to expect
Course structure
More than 200 lectures and over 21 hours of content, organized in 10 sections that build on each other. Exercises are placed between lessons so you practice immediately, and advanced exercises at the end push you further. The course works with any SolidWorks version from 2013 to 2025.

Who this course is for

⭐ Complete beginners who want to learn CAD and 3D design from zero
⭐ Engineering students and freshers preparing for a career in mechanical design
⭐ Design engineers switching to SolidWorks from AutoCAD, CATIA, Fusion 360, or other CAD software
⭐ Anyone preparing for the CSWA or CSWP certification exams
⭐ Working engineers who want to fill gaps in materials, tolerances, GD&T, and design for manufacturing
⭐ Hobbyists and makers who want to design real, manufacturable parts
