Description
Learn how to use Solidworks 3D CAD to create screw threads that can actually be 3D printed and used in real life!
What You'll Learn?
- By the end of the course students will be able to confidently use Solidworks to produce screw threads, which can then be 3D Printed.
- Students will understand basic thread principles and use these to create any size of thread, for a variety of uses.
Who is this for?
What You Need to Know?
More details
DescriptionUse Solidworks 3D CAD to create working screw threads for 3D printing! 3D Printing is a revolutionary manufacturing technology that allows people to turn their 3D CAD models into real physical items. Now it's actually possible to 3D print screw threads that really work and screw together! Add an entire new dimension to your models today.Â
Why this course is different
There are many 3D Printing and Modelling courses online, but none quite like this one:
- We focus just on modelling screw threads, allowing you to create parts that actually screw together.
- Taught by a Solidworks professional! The instructor been using Solidworks since 2006 and even taken a range of official Solidworks-certified training courses. The instructor currently works as a Product Design Engineer and uses Solidworks every day to design all sorts of things for real clients  - no academic-only experience here!
- All experiences welcome. This course does assume a basic knowledge of Solidworks but complete beginners can also follow along with the video, to learn on-the-go.Â
- Understand the techniques for varied use. Instead of just copying the instructor this course encourages students to learn techniques that can then be used to create parts specific to your needs!
About this course
This courses includes:
- 1.5 hours of high-quality original video.
- Additional resources such as downloadable models, made specially for the course.
- On-hand support. Have a question? We are always here to support any questions and take a look at your progress.
You will learnÂ
The course covers an entire range of thread modelling details, including:
- Introduction - How threads are used and how to use the course
- Starting a Male Thread - Modelling a shaft - the first stage in creating a Male Thread
- Adding the Threads - How to use Helixes and Sweeps to create Threads
- Basic Finishing Touches - Ending Threads and other small details to improve your Threads
- Female Threads - Using a Swept Cut to create a Nut, or any Female Thread
- Assemblies, Tolerances and Left/Right-hand Threads  - Checking that the Parts fit together and work correctly by adding them to an Assembly. Tolerances for 3D Printing and Left and Right-hand Threads
- Thread Profiles and Different Sizes - Using Thread Tables to create threads of any size
- Advanced Finishing Touches - To really finish off your Threads
- Common Issues - Problems that can occur with Threads, and how how to avoid them
- Conclusion and Exporting for Printing - A recap of the course, and how to actually print your parts
The course is taught using Solidworks 2015 but the models and resources used will work with any version newer than that - all the way up to Solidworks 2018.Â
The techniques used are also common to many different CAD programs - so you can learn on Solidworks then easily transfer these skills if needed.
So sign up today, and take your prints up to the next level!Â
Who this course is for:
- Anyone who would like to learn how to make screw threads using Solidworks. These can then be 3D printed or produced using other methods, or just used virtually.
- You may be a product designer wishing to expand your skills, a hobbyist looking to start 3D printing or an engineering enthusiast.
- You may already know basic CAD and be looking to expand your skills, or you may be quite new to Solidworks and wanting to jump right in!

Instructor's CoursesI am a UK design engineer who specialises particularly in Solidworks 3D CAD modelling.I have a wide range of Design Engineering experience covering areas including mechanisms, 3D printing, materials selection, rapid prototyping and other design and manufacturing techniques.I have more than twelve years of Solidworks experience and hold a First Class Honours degree in Sustainable Product Design from a Top 25 UK university. I have also completed a range of Solidworks-certified training courses in the UK.I particularly enjoy working on projects which solve mechanical problems using innovative ideas and mechanisms. I previously trained as a helicopter pilot in the Royal Air Force and am a keen mountain biker, and these experiences and skills feed into my love of mechanical design.I have travelled extensively. Prior to becoming a full-time freelancer I drove a vintage London Black Cab from London to Sydney, passing through fifty countries, setting two Guinness World Records and raising over £20,000 for the British Red Cross, before writing a book about the adventure. This innate curiosity to explore and investigate how things are done differently around the world provides me with a wide range of design inspiration.I have been freelancing full-time since 2013 with hundreds of satisfied clients from every continent except South America. These clients range from individuals with a simple “shower thought” idea, to large companies with more rigid development processes, to entrepreneurs who have completed successful Crowdfunding campaigns and now need to develop their products for market.
