Master Mechanical Part Designs
What you'll learn
- Draw your first sketch in SolidWorks
- Turn a two-dimensional drawing into a three-dimensional solid

About this course
This course teaches SolidWorks for designing mechanical parts and engineering solids. It starts with the introduction and drawing your first sketch, then turning a two-dimensional drawing into a three-dimensional solid. Next you learn how to produce engineering drawings from solids and add dimensions, reference geometry and fillets, and create uniform and regular solids. Then you move on to round solids using Revolve and Swept, creating regular cavities inside solids, and designing sheet metal parts. In the advanced stage you learn to assemble parts and create motion patterns for them, then run a study and analysis of forces and stress on the solids. At the end of the course there is a file of extras you can download. It suits anyone interested in mechanical engineering and industrial design and anyone who wants to learn SolidWorks from the beginning, with no previous experience needed. After finishing, you will be able to draw a mechanical part, turn it into a solid and an engineering drawing, assemble it with other parts and study the effect of forces on it.
Expected outcomes
- Design integrated 3D models using available tools.
- Master the creation of advanced solids and physical simulations.
- Assemble parts and create professional motion patterns.
- Conduct studies and analyze forces and stresses in solids.
- Create high-quality and professional designs.

1Design Using SolidWorks
10 lectures
- Introduction and First SketchIntroduces SolidWorks for designing parts and machines, then covers sketch tools such as Line, Circle, Arc, Polygon, Offset and Mirror, and how to save a sketch.27:40
- Converting 2D Drawing to 3D ModelExplains turning a 2D sketch into a 3D solid in SolidWorks with Extrude, adding relations and dimensions with Smart Dimension, and rounding edges with Fillet.24:07
- Exporting Models to Technical Drawings and DimensionsExplains producing engineering drawings from SolidWorks models: standard views and the isometric view, hidden lines, and adding dimensions and units to the sheet.22:59
- Spatial References and Circular EdgesCovers techniques for building parts in SolidWorks: Extrude, reference geometry, and creating ribs, fillets and chamfers on an L-shaped part, plus equal relations between circles.15:55
- Creating Homogeneous and Regular ModelsExplains the Loft feature in SolidWorks for symmetric shapes such as a jug: sketching profiles on different planes, using guide curves, and hollowing the result with Shell.12:18
- Creating Regular and Circular Models Using Revolve-SweptExplains the Revolve and Swept features in SolidWorks for round, regular solids: sketching a profile with arcs, lines and tangent relations, and revolving it around an axis or sweeping it along a path.28:21
- Creating Regular Cavities Inside ModelsExplains Revolve Cut, Swept Cut and Lofted Cut for hollowing solids, then Circular Pattern for repeating holes, applying fillets, and a brief intro to sheet metal forming.18:36
- Creating Metal Plate ModelsExplains Sheet Metal in SolidWorks for designing metal plates: sketching a profile with set thickness, using Edge Flange, Hem and Miter Flange, and Fold and Unfold to flatten and bend.22:03
- Assembling Parts and Models and Creating Motion PatternsExplains Assembly in SolidWorks: combining several parts into one mechanism using Mate relations, moving the parts, running a motion simulation, and editing parts from within the assembly.25:07
- Studying and Analyzing Forces and Stresses on ModelsExplains stress analysis simulation in SolidWorks: creating a study, defining material, forces and fixtures, setting the mesh, running the analysis, and comparing results when the material changes.23:25
