SolidWorks 2024-2025: Advanced Parts & Assemblies is the next step in developing advanced skills used by manufacturing professionals. It continues to build modeling awareness while showing best practices and sound procedures.
You'll master materials and custom appearances while you create custom library and toolbox parts. You'll learn to streamline your work by reusing sketches, creating custom templates, custom frame member profiles, configurations, configuration tables, design tables, prepare for BOM's, and the list goes on. This course is packed with tips and tricks that will help speed your work and assure you're using sound practices.
As with all our courses, concepts thought to be difficult are fully and easily explained. Advanced concepts like using equations to drive dimensions and features will become simple. You'll see and practice all the steps, and each step is explained in detail.
Once you've mastered the skills taught in the Professional Modeling and Advanced Parts & Assemblies course you'll be ready for the Mechanical Design course.
