SOLIDWORKS: Beginner to Expert
In Mechanical, Electrical, PlumbingAbout this course
Master SOLIDWORKS with CITI and create 3D CAD Renders and models for mechanical and electrical engineering, sheet metal design, product design, and other complex engineering design components from beginner to expert.
These SOLIDWORKS modules cover fundamental and advanced functions of SOLIDWORKS, including how to extrude 3D models from 2D drawings, how to apply fillet and chamber, and more.
Learn how to use the SOLIDWORKS mechanical design automation software to build parametric models of parts and assemblies, and how to make drawings of those parts and assemblies.
