Update Training
Update Training addresses the user-driven enhancements available in SolidWorks most recent release.

3D Skills
3D Skills introduces you to the basic concepts in SolidWorks.
Sheet Metal
This course will guide you through the process of creating sheet metal parts from scratch using all of the Sheet Metal features in SolidWorks, as well as how to convert regular solid parts into Sheet Metal.

Routing Essentials
This course teaches users how to easily create routed systems in SolidWorks, such as electrical, cable, conduit, tube and pipe routes. The course walks users through all of the functions and options for each type of route, as well as how to create 2D drawings for manufacturing with all of the information necessary to accurately document their routes such as Bills of Materials, Wiring Summaries, and Harness reports. This course also shows users how to create their own routing components to be used in any of their routes in the future. SolidWorks routing makes what used to be a painstaking part of a design very quick and easy.
PhotoWorks Essentials
This course teaches the essential skills necessary for creating photorealistic renderings in PhotoWorks. The course will guide you through the process of applying textures and materials to your models, as well as manipulating lighting, decals, scenes, studios, backgrounds and much more. You will learn how to make your SolidWorks designs look like finished products in no time! Many PhotoWorks users benefit from the ability to use realistic renderings for presentations, focus groups, and marketing before they even begin production! Get started using it today!

PDMWorks Workgroup
This course will help managers ensure their team maintains an accurate and consistent level of knowledge and competency using all of the Client functions in PDMWorks. After viewing the course, users will know how to manage SolidWorks Parts, Assemblies, and Drawings as well as any non-SolidWorks documents. Included are tips on dealing with many common scenarios a client user may encounter as well as tips on how to leverage PDMWorks most effectively in a collaborative environment.
SolidCAM
This course will walk you through the first 4 part examples in the SolidCAM Getting Started manual. Each exercise will familiarize you with how to perform milling operations, and teach you concepts used throughout the SolidCAM application. The course begins by familiarizing you with the SolidCAM user interface and then demonstrates the most commonly used strategies of SolidCAM machining.

Major Topics Covered:

  • Mold Insert
  • Forming Mold
  • Contour Plate
  • Prismatic Part

CAMWorks
Mill Fundamentals is designed to get you up to speed in CAMWorks so that you can begin creating G-Code quickly. This course will teach you how to Define Stock, Define 2.5 Axis Features, Create Toolpaths, Adjust roughing and finishing operations, Run Simulations, and Output your G-Code. You will also learn how to customize the Technology Database for your particular environment so that you can automate many of your machining tasks.
Advanced Surfacing
Written by Matt Lombard author of the SolidWorks Bible, Advanced Surfacing teaches users how to apply surfacing tools as well as solid modeling and sketching techniques to achieve complex, free-form shapes. The course steps the user through the creation of four distinct complex models in great detail. Each exercise introduces the user to different techniques aimed at producing complex faces, smooth blends, and aesthetically pleasing geometry. Features covered include Splines, Boundary Surfaces, Ruled Surfaces, Fill Surfaces, Intersection Curves, The Freeform Feature, Sweeps and Lofts. This course will equip the user with the SolidWorks skills necessary to create the visually appealing, ergonomic products in demand today.

COSMOSWorks Designer
COSMOSWorks Designer is a course designed to teach you the fundamental skills necessary for performing structural analysis on SolidWorks Parts and Assemblies using COSMOSWorks design validation software. This course will allow you to test your SolidWorks models and predict how they will behave in real life situations. Armed with this information you will be able to design better Parts and ultimately better products.
AutoCAD to SolidWorks
This course was designed and written by certified SolidWorks Instructors to make the transition for AutoCAD users to get up to speed using SolidWorks quickly and easily. The course shows users how to bring their existing 2D, DXF and DWG files into SolidWorks 3D Parts and 2D Drawings. The course also shows new users how to create brand new Parts, Assemblies, and Drawings from scratch in SolidWorks.

SolidWorks Certification Prep Course
SolidWorks Certification Prep course was designed and written by Certified SolidWorks Professionals and Certified SolidWorks Instructors to help users prepare and successfully pass the CSWP/CSWA Certification exams. The course begins by introducing you to the SolidWorks Certification exam itself, and continues with detailed sample problems in all major areas of the exam, including basic and advanced part and assembly design, with special attention paid to the topic of in-context design.
