SolidWorks Advanced Course
€ TBA
This course provides learners with a comprehensive introduction to parametric modelling and design workflows. Students will develop the skills to work safely and confidently with a parametric modelling workstation, while exploring the key software components and user interface elements essential for effective design. The course focuses on fundamental and intermediate sketching techniques, including the use of constraints and reference geometry to accurately define design intent.
