This 60-hour course covers advanced parametric solid modeling utilizing SolidWorks software as the design tool. The course will explore complicated aspects of using design sketches to form solids through the use of Lofts, Guided Sweeps, and Non-Linear Surfaces. The course will explain and demonstrate Top-Down Assembly modeling, use of 3-dimensional sketching to form parts, as well as creating Assembly and Detail drawings with Bills of Materials. The course will stress the ease of use and the necessity of understanding Design Intent.

Prerequisites:

• Introduction to SolidWorks and signed off by instructor (i.e. Anoka Technical College class)
• Ability to read and create part drawings within SolidWorks
• Extensive experience using SolidWorks, including creating parts
