SolidWorks
Course Information
Duration: 30 Hours
Fee: $1200
Description
This course is designed to help students learn product design using SOLIDWORKS, a popular feature-based 3D parametric solid modelling software.
In this course, the students will get in-depth knowledge of all important tools as well as their real world applications in conformity with widely accepted
ISO standards, GD&T, 3D Printing, and standard practices followed in manufacturing processes in industry. In addition, students will be assigned a
team project of their choice for better understanding of design intent and will also be required to make a portfolio of the work done.
