Welcome to the "SolidWorks Coffee Maker" video series. In this beginner series we'll be building coffee maker from scratch. We'll start by setting up our project and talk about a concept called "master model" which we'll also set up. From there we'll start adding details to our model and finish up by doing a simple render in MODO and creating drawings.
