I am available to come to your engineering office and give instruction in "3D modeling for Mechanical design". This 56 hour course will be broken into seven 8 hour days, and will cover the creation of "parts", "assemblies", and of 2D mechanical shop drawings. It will fully cover the creation of sketch geometry, and extrusion of the sketch geometry to create "solids models". It will show how to combine these individual "part models" into "assemblies", and cover the appropriate "mates"  to attach these individual parts in the correct relationship to each other. The course will show how to automatically generate 2D drawings of the "part" or "assembly" files, and how to automatically create "Bills of Material" in the drawings.

This is an interactive course, and I have a state of the art lap top computer and a projector so that as I am teaching groups of from 2 to 30 people, the images can be projected onto a blank wall or a screen. Trainees will be shown the appropriate commands, and will then build the actual "parts", assemblies" or 2D drawings on their own computers under my personal instruction.

This is not a course on "mechanical draughting", but is for people who want to move from a draughting board or from a 2D cad package into the world of solid modeling. Anyone who takes this course is expected to have a good basic knowledge of accepted draughting practices prior to taking it.

I have received excellent reviews on this course from those who have taken it, and have been called back to "repeat customers" who are constantly bringing new people on board in their offices and want them trained to be proficient in this software. I have even had companies bring in their employees from the United Kingdom to receive this course, so that their engineers and designers in Canada would be working from the same "knowledge base".

I can give "one on one" instruction to an individual employee, or teach an entire classroom full of people---the price does not change.
This course will only be given in Solidworks, as it is the software with which I am most proficient.

Anyone who wishes to take this course must have the software installed on their own computers---I do not provide the software.

Hourly rates are the same as the rates which I charge for mechanical designwork.
