Welcome

- [Gabriel] Hi, I'm Gabriel Corbett, and welcome to SOLIDWORKS 2018 Essential Training. In this course, we'll look at the methods and tools for creating manufacturing-ready parts and assemblies, along with detailed drawings and a Bill of Materials. We'll start with the basic sketch tools. Next we'll look at modeling 3D features by extruding or evolving sketches into 3D parts. Parts will be modified using a suite of tools that includes fillets, chamfers, rib, draft, and shell plus so much more. Next we'll learn how to create uniform standard hole sizes using the automated Hole Wizard. We'll explore more advanced mulling techniques by using the Pattern, Mirror, and Equation tools. Then we'll cover the best practice for putting parts together into assemblies and building robust structures. Finally, we'll see how to create drawings to relate the final parts in assemblies to a manufacturer complete with an itemized Bill of Materials and drawing notes. Now let's get started with SOLIDWORKS 2018 Essential Training.
