SolidWorks Sheet Metal
SolidWorks Instructor Led Training
The Sheet Metal course teaches you how to build sheet metal parts using SolidWorks mechanical design automation software. You will learn how to build standalone sheet metal parts, convert parts to sheet metal, and model sheet metal parts in the context of an assembly.
Course details and prerequisites:
Duration: 2 Days
Type: Instructor Led
Level: Basic to Intermediate
Prerequisites:
- Attended SolidWorks Essentials or equivalent level of knowledge
- At least one month of experience using the software
After the training you will be able to:
- Create sheet metal parts and apply sheet metal features
- Import sheet metal parts from other CAD systems and convert them into SolidWorks sheet metal parts
- Create sheet metal parts from within your assembly documents
I enjoyed my day at Javelin Technologies, and I would definitely take another course there.
