Getting ahead with sheet metal design in SOLIDWORKS

- [Gabriel] Sheet metal is a complex industry and understanding the basic process and fundamentals is essential to designing parts that are easy to manufacture. Solidworks has assembled a great set of tools for working with sheet metal. However, it's up to us as designers to use these tools to create parts that can be easily and efficiently manufactured. Solidworks is the world leader in CAD design and the sheet metal tools are some of the best available. By taking this course, not only will you learn the tools and skills required to design parts in sheet metal, but you'll also obtain key insights on how to design quickly and effectively.

I'll start by showing you how to design basic sheet metal parts and cover all the common tools in the sheet metal package. From there, we'll expand our knowledge into more complex multi body sheet metal design techniques and assemblies to design manufacturing ready parts. As a bonus, we'll be touring a sheet metal fabrication company and learning all about the machinery and processes that are required to build sheet metal parts. We'll cover what really goes on behind the scenes and how to design parts for the real world.

I'm Gabriel Corbett and let's dive into my course on LinkedIn Learning and start designing sheet metal parts in Solidworks.
