Description
Level up your SolidWorks skills by learning the fundamentals of Surface Modelling

Solidworks is the world's premier 3D CADÂ modelling program, with millions of people usingÂ it to create everything from 3D-printed toys allÂ the way up to fully-working mechanical vehicles. However, many user never progress past Solid Modelling. This course will teach you the basics of Surface Modelling, allowing you to expand your CAD toolkit and widening the scope of your modelling.

Why this course is different

Making the switch to Surface Modelling can be daunting, but this course starts from the very basics then builds up step-by-step, allowing you digest and understand how and why you can use Surfacing to supplement your existing skills.
Taught by a Solidworks professional! The instructorÂ been using Solidworks since 2006 and even taken a range of official Solidworks-certified training courses. The instructorÂ currently works as a Product Design Engineer and uses Solidworks every day to design all sorts of things for real clientsÂ - no academic-only experience here!
Built on previous feedback! This course is built upon the instructors other best-selling Solidworks courses, and on the feedback from over 30,000 previous students on Udemy alone.
Understand how Surfacing can be used within a wider context. Advanced modellers very rarely use purely Solid Modelling or purely Surface Modelling; a better approach is to mix and match tools from each area to achieve the desired end result.Â

About this course
This courses includes:
Over 2.5+ hours of high-quality original video.
Additional resources such as downloadable models, made specially for the course.
Prompt support from expert instructor.Â Have a question? We are always here to support any questions and take a look at your progress.

You will learnÂ
Over the course of the following detailed sections you'll learn how to use SolidWorks Surfacing, including:
Introduction to Surfacing - How to create simple Surface Models and then convert them in Solid Models
Deleting and Moving Faces - Two simple tools that are extremely useful in day-to-day modelling, both for Solid and Surface models.
Basic Surfacing - A Candlestick Holder - Extruded & Ruled Surfaces, Trimmings, Knitting and Thickening
More Advanced Surfacing Tools - Creating a Paint Sprayer - Advanced techniques like Surface Revolves, Lofts, Sweeps and Filled & Planar Surfaces.
Boundary Surface & Other Tools - Creating a Vacuum Cleaner Nozzle - Using the powerful Boundary Surface, as well as the Offset Surface tool to make a model of a Vacuum Cleaner Nozzle.
Practicing Surfacing by Creating a Spoon Model - Recapping and practicing the previously learned skills, such as Boundary and Lofted Surfaces, as well as exploring Extending, Trimming and Thickening.
Other Surfacing Tools -Â Surface Flatten, Surface from Mesh, Freeform and Cut with Surface
Course Conclusion and Future Learning!
The course is taught using Solidworks 2022 but the models and resources used will work with any version newer than that and aren't needed to use the course, so older versions can be used.Â

So sign up today, and take your 3D modelling to the next level!Â

Instructor's Courses

I 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.
