Time to get started if you are new to SolidWorks. There are 44 SolidWorks teaching videos that were created in our class at Central Washington University in the in the engineering department for student instruction out of class – so that class time could be devoted to student help and on their Final Projects.  Some of these videos will be posted through links on this website while the complete series can be found on EDI’s YouTube Channel.  Visit our channel DesignInnovations and check back for updates.

It’s fun watching other people work, you always learn something. It’s also fun seeing and learning how others model in SolidWorks by watching how they may do things and why – providing valuable tips, tricks and potential traps to avoid along the way.
