Description
Level up your SolidWorks skills by learning the fundamentals of Surface Modelling
Solidworks is the world's premier 3D CAD modelling program, with millions of people using it to create everything from 3D-printed toys all the way up to fully-working mechanical vehicles. However, many user never progress past Solid Modelling. This course will teach you the basics of Surface Modelling, allowing you to expand your CAD toolkit and widening the scope of your modelling.
Why this course is different
Making
the switch to Surface Modelling can be daunting
, but this course starts from the very basics then builds up step-by-step, allowing you digest and understand how and why you can use Surfacing to supplement your existing skills.
Taught by a
Solidworks professional
! The instructor been using Solidworks since 2006 and even taken a range of official Solidworks-certified training courses. The instructor currently works as a Product Design Engineer and uses Solidworks every day to design all sorts of things for
real clients
- no academic-only experience here!
Built on
previous feedback!
This course is built upon the instructors other best-selling Solidworks courses, and on the feedback from over
30,000 previous students
on Udemy alone.
Understand how Surfacing can be used within a wider context
. Advanced modellers very rarely use purely Solid Modelling
or
purely Surface Modelling; a better approach is to mix and match tools from each area to achieve the desired end result.

You will learn
Over the course of the following detailed sections you'll learn how to use SolidWorks Surfacing, including:
Introduction to Surfacing
- How to create simple Surface Models and then convert them in Solid Models
Deleting and Moving Faces
- Two simple tools that are extremely useful in day-to-day modelling, both for Solid and Surface models.
Basic Surfacing - A Candlestick Holder
- Extruded & Ruled Surfaces, Trimmings, Knitting and Thickening
More Advanced Surfacing Tools - Creating a Paint Sprayer
- Advanced techniques like Surface Revolves, Lofts, Sweeps and Filled & Planar Surfaces.
Boundary Surface & Other Tools - Creating a Vacuum Cleaner Nozzle
- Using the powerful Boundary Surface, as well as the Offset Surface tool to make a model of a Vacuum Cleaner Nozzle.
Practicing Surfacing by Creating a Spoon Model
- Recapping and practicing the previously learned skills, such as Boundary and Lofted Surfaces, as well as exploring Extending, Trimming and Thickening.
Other Surfacing Tools
- Surface Flatten, Surface from Mesh, Freeform and Cut with Surface
Course Conclusion and Future Learning!
The course is
taught using Solidworks 2022
but the models and resources used will work with any version newer than that and aren't needed to use the course, so older versions can be used.
So sign up today, and take your 3D modelling to the next level!
