Course Overview

Studio-grade Solid Edge training for mechanical engineers, product designers, and CAD technicians. Project-based workflows, synchronous modeling and assembly strategies, drawing automation, and one-on-one mentorship to produce manufacturable parts, assemblies, and fabrication documentation.

Why This Course

This course teaches practical Solid Edge workflows used by product and mechanical teams to move from concept sketches to production-ready CAD. You'll learn synchronous and ordered modeling, assembly best practices, sheet metal design, surfacing essentials, and drawing automation. Emphasis is on design for manufacturability, robust model intent, and CAD standards that reduce iteration and speed handoffs to CAM and suppliers.
