SolidWorks for Beginners – Learn 3D Modeling and Guitar Design
Course Overview
This course is designed to teach you SolidWorks from scratch, using practical exercises to guide you through the essential tools for 3D modeling, assembly, and drawing creation. By the end of this course, you will be able to design, assemble, and simulate mechanical components with confidence.
As a real-world project, you will go through the entire process of designing an electric guitar from start to finish. This includes modeling each individual piece and assembling the final product, making this course both educational and highly practical.
What You Will Learn
SolidWorks interface and essential tools
Sketching and 2D design techniques
3D modeling, extrusion, and feature tools
Part assembly and constraints
Technical drawings and blueprint preparation
A complete 2.5-hour guitar design project, from modeling to assembly
