SolidWorks Tutorials

Subwoofer Design Surfacing Series (03:06:22)

In this series, we’ll be working from a 2D sketch (that we'll supply) to start building surfaces that will become our 3D model. We'll also take a look at how to gather resources online that will prove to be extremely helpful for both this project and projects you may work on in the future.

Remote Control Design Series (03:12:16)

In this series, we’ll be working on a fictional remote control speaker system. Most importantly, we’re going to be emphasizing on looking at ways we can work with multiple people. From the engineering data to the graphic details, we’ll be taking a look at creating one sweet remote control!

Perfect G2 Pillowed Surface (00:17:04)

We’ve finally done it: a near-perfect 'pillowed' rectangular surface in SolidWorks.

Mold Tooling Series 1 (00:39:17)

In this highly-informative series we begin by going over the basics of molds and mass manufacturing, then dive in to creating a mold that is suitable for making a small plastic part.

Sheet Metal (00:22:37)

This rapid-paced series will get you on your way with getting started with sheet metal in SolidWorks.

Beginner: SolidWorks 101 2013 (00:35:08)

So you want to learn SolidWorks and don't know where to start?! Start here! In this series, we'll be going over the basics of the SolidWorks interface, how to navigate effectively, building two simple parts, and finally...putting our parts together in a functional assembly. Let's get started already!

Beginner: File Settings 101 (00:06:28)

Now that we have our feet wet and are on our way to becoming SolidWorks Ninjas, it's time to take a look at some document settings that we'll use to create our very own template to get the most out of our customized SolidWorks experience.

Beginner: AMPY the Robot (01:57:22)

Too few designers take advantage of the power of assemblies in their design process. AMPY the robot wants to change all that: learn to make it up as you go, and use assemblies to your advantage!

Intermediate: Classical Guitar (04:19:36)

In this series, we'll be using the 'master model' approach to build a fully-adjustable classical guitar.

SolidWorks Pro 2012 (01:45:00)

This series was designed specifically for a major corporate design team in order to get existing professional CAD users up and running with SolidWorks as quickly as possible.

Beginner: Pentax (01:40:17)

If you've never used SolidWorks before, this is the place to start. Here we'll introduce key concepts for quick and dirty modeling from the perspective of an industrial designer.

Beginner: Modeling (2010) (02:12:36)

This beginner series was developed as a supplement to a digital design course at Otis College of Art & Design.

Intermediate: Modeling (2010) (02:21:33)

Once you understand the fundamentals, every industrial designer should take a careful look at the master model (aka master form) method. It may seem round-about at first, but it has huge advantages downstream.

Tips & Tricks (02:47:56)

These one-off videos demonstrate specific tools and techniques, usually in under 10 minutes.
