Solid Edge Sketching Fundamentals
In this course, you will learn how to recognize and create artistic 2D shapes and patterns. These 2D sketches will form the foundation for the follow-up course that introduces you to 3D artistic mechanical design.
3D CAD Fundamentals
In this course, you will develop a solid creative understanding of 3D part modeling.
Generative Modeling
Generative design is a radical departure from conventional design practices and is by definition the creation of shapes decided by a set of rules, or in other words, software algorithms. In this course, you will learn how to optimize products for minimal mass with goal-driven generative design.
Structural Design & Weldments
Create structural frames and weldments, create frame skeletons, build 3D frames, create drawings with cutlists, build a variety of metal frames, and add weldments.
So You Have A Great Idea…
In this course, we will cover the entire process of how to go from an idea to a product to a business. We will also explore the engineering concepts involved.
