SW ki ni
I am aerospace engineer and for fellow engineers, specially for freshman I would strongly advice not to master a specific software but instead master the CAD fundamentals and design philosophy. At college I used to work with NX but pandemic arrived and school shot out, I didn't have access to NX anymore so I downloaded Freecad, yes, obviously NX is far superior it holds your hand if you are not so good at fundamentals, it forgives you errors. In the other hand, Freecad mistreat you if you don't have fundamentals but you can design pretty much anything, from mechanical design to surfacing, only if you have mastered fundamentals before.
If the video wasn't sponsored, I would have pinned this comment to the top
@@with-Aryan jajaja thx ❤️
Ive been learning Freecad and i feel I run into this issue alot. Things like whats a body vs part and the model tree are as clear as mud and alot of tutorials walk you through things but dont explain WHY they are like that and then Freecad just says no you cant do that and it doesnt make sense why. Where is the youtube tutorial for just basic engineering cad?
Dear LQ, recommendations on how I can master those fundamentals? Is there a specific resource that comes to mind?
That just makes freecad sound like the Blender equivalent in cad programs lol
I started using AutoCAD in 1993. Version 10-11 I believe. Then in 1996 I started my mechanical design career at a medical device manufacturer. There they were using ProEngineer 3D. So, I had it installed and learned how to use it over the next year. But then the company acquired several other smaller medical device companies. They all used SolidWorks 1997. So, I had it installed and learned how to use it. Even took several of the the different courses offered by the software resellers on site at the company. I got tired of switching between ProEngineer, AutoCAD and SolidWorks. I found SolidWorks worked best for me. So now it's been 26 years Iv'e been using SolidWorks in various industries like Aviation, Medical Devices, Consumer Products, Sheet Metal, Plastic Product Design etc. I still use SolidWorks every day at work. It has served me well. Currently using version 2016. Due an upgrade soon.
you are a legend!
@@with-Aryan Haha! In my own mind maybe. Have a great day!
Hello, have you ever tried to produce your own products and become suppliers?
Im a CNC machinist and I really want to learn and be expert in solidworks but its difficult for me because I didnt go to college. I dont have pc or laptop to use but i know basics. I only watching yt tuitorial ls and its very helpfull ❤️.. I hoping to get a laptop this coming 2023. wish me luck !! 😁
best of luck!
Look for some solidworks courses, that might help you.
Get a 3d printer man! I'm into machining as well, and I am currently working on a mechanical engineering degree. Finding broken stuff around the house and remaking parts such as gears and cases was extremely helpful. You'll spend a lot of time on TH-cam, but I think the best approach for machinists is 3d printers... since you can see your work on your hands, remeasure, and make adjustments.
Good luck! Maybe a PC would be better for running CAD software
2 minutes in and the concept of splitting the categories makes so much sense
Thank you!
I use Solidworks since 1998, by far the best 3D engineering CAD, on the other end I´m also a Autocad user since 1988 (release 8, DOS) and must say that I still can´t work without. Almost all my projects are done in Solidworks and I make complete assemblies of machine plants (cotton gins) with it, but when it comes to drawing a functional diagram, a floor layout, a location drawing of the site, then Autocad is the way to go. Draftsight was a good free alternative for Autocad, but now they charge you too and is not on par with Autocad.
percisely!
But autocad is too heavy in my low spec pc. Do you have sugestion for other autocad like software ?
@@tanji8592 if AutoCAD is to hard on your computer, you should consider investing into a newer one. Autocad is not too bad as you are using it for 2D, any cheap video card can handle AutoCAD. If you need 3D and render than you have to invest more, but still a 2060 or 2070 is more than enough.
Autodesk Inventor has been preferred over SW by some.
@hanstubben LOL you've never used anything else. Solidworks is easy to use, but it is pretty basic and is based on Siemens tech.
Been using Catia, Creo, Solidworks, 3dexperience and Inventor.
Incmy opinion Solidworks is the best by far, of course Catia is more complete and powerful but Solidworks is just so simple and nicely made
right on!
Yeah true catia has extra steps for everything you need to do but for like surface modelling it's wayy better than solidworks
There is very little difference between SW and Inventor.... Personally I know more people who preferred Inventor when I was working 10 years ago.
Until it crash
I have a question. In my university CAD design is a class offered on the 1st semester of the 1st year, basically you get to learn the basics of inventor and once you get done with the exam you'll never touch CAD design for the rest of the degree. With prices that high for solidworks or inventor how are you supposed to get out of university and land any sort of job if you can barely remember the basics of what you did years ago and you obviously never worked in the industry? Do companies take the toll, are you the one that buys the software at your own expense, never having worked a day in your life? This looks like a massive barrier to entry... am I missing something here?
Companies take the toll for sure! And you, need to get a student license and practice until then, because companies wouldn’t waste money if you have no idea what you’re doing. Student version of SW can be purchased for $99 for a year. Check my course
I'm just starting to explore this as a new hobby interest, but you packed so much value into everything you said I'm already planning on taking your course. You've earned a follow man :)
Glad it was helpful!
nice run down...I agree with it all. So I tried to learn ProE back in 2011 to be able to CAD model stuff for side projects. Spent a year on it, couldn't figure it out, interface sucked. Next tried Solidworks, within a few weeks I was modeling a dirt bike engine... going on 12+ years now, expert level modeler working full time as a design freelancer. I can model literally ANYTHING with that software. It's a massive package with many plug-ins available. Easy and intuitive to self learn... It can even be stretched to do "organic" stuff if you have the patience for it. I do have my eye on some of the new comers as you mentioned but once you're good with a CAD package that you like, just stick with it. No affiliation with them.
Isn’t that the dream? Thanks for sharing that
Channel quality is going up every single video. Nice job!
Much appreciated!
your videos are the highest quality when it comes to cad tutorial and tips and tricks. just love to watch em. keep up the good work and merry christmas🎄
Thank you Jack! you made my day. Merry Christmas
Agreed!
i am signage maker, i was using inventor, then i switch to rhino, cause sometimes i need a good mesh polygon for uv wrap and rendering purpose to show it to the client, sometimes when i use inventor or solidworks in gives me a bad polygon mesh surface when i convert in to stl file or when i open it up with blender to make some animation or an AR out of it,oh forgot, rhino is not so good when making some 2D or vector base, so when i'll do some cnc and laser cut it does not give me a precise cut. so what do you suggest?
In SOLIDWORKS do you crank up the settings to increase the quality of the STL? There are multiple levels of refinement, also in Blender you can use the option Shade smooth to helps things look less tessellated.
As a Product Designer, AutoCAD and SOLIDWORKS is the way to go
BOOM! you said it!
So I'm just looking to design suspension for vehicles that I own so I know I'll need 3D. Knowing this what would you recommend?
The automobile industry will definitely need you working in 3D, I would suggest also looking into some simulation as well to ensure you are on the right track. SOLIDWORKS + ANSYS could be a good combo.
Merry Christmas, good videos on this channel from this awesome person. Keep it up and all the best!
Thanks, you too!
I want something I can design fabric boat covers, seating and upholstery. What do you suggest. Something that may be used with a camera scan or digitizing pen option. To be used in conjunction with a cutting table system..
Everyone reading this. who can take this question?
Does Solid Work support simulation and is there a free version for students and if it is not available, how much is the monthly subscription? Please answer
SOLIDWORKS does not have any Free version apart from a short Trial.
For students, the price at the moment for the desktop version of SOLIDWORKS Student is 100$ USD/ year. This package comes with basic simulation capabilities.
@@with-Aryan Oh thank you
Hey Aryan ! I am a CAD steel detailer for around 9 months now, using Tekla Structures and AutoCAD. I had taken a SolidWorks class at my community college a few semesters back and now that I just found your channel I really believe I can actually become proficient using this program.
I had a couple of questions if you could answer them. I am going to buy a subscription of the SolidWorks student version but I am unsure on whether to buy the cloud version or the desktop version. What would you recommend and do you happen to use 3DExperience? I think it's interesting, but I am not completely sure on which one to purchase. I was also wondering, would you happen to know if SolidWorks cloud version offers compatibility with MISUMI Rapid? Thank you for the video and I appreciate if you have the chance to check this comment out!
Hi there! I'm glad to hear that you find my channel helpful in becoming proficient in SolidWorks. As for your question, it really depends on your specific needs and preferences. The desktop version offers the advantage of being able to work offline, while the cloud version offers the advantage of being able to access your work from anywhere with an internet connection.
I personally use the desktop version of SolidWorks, but I have worked with the 3DExperience platform in the past and it has some interesting features for collaboration and data management.
As for compatibility with MISUMI Rapid, I am not sure about that specific feature, but SolidWorks has a wide range of compatible file formats, so it is worth checking with MISUMI Rapid to see if they offer a compatible format.
I hope this helps, and feel free to reach out if you have any further questions!
It's been a few years since I was in the field having worked on Unigraphics for years. Does the cloud version work using WebGL where the models are being rendered on the PC itself or is the cloud version using video streaming?
Its rendered in your system, its not video streaming based as of now.
I am jewelry designer. I do work in Rhinoceros and Gemvision matrix. Gemvision matrix works like a.i. like auto diamonds and settings at all. So may be A.I. will be helpful tool for 3d artists rather than replacement of them.
As time is passing by, I am reaching that conclusion as well
What do you recommend for 3D modelling a lot of wiring looms/cables etc?
are those wirings only for 'astethics' or functional?
@@with-Aryan Mainly to show installation in assembly drawings
I do Building Services Engineering and Public Lighting Design as a sole trader. What I've found so far is in my industry is basic 2d autocad design is still almost exclusively what's used even though it's rather dated because clients aren't interested in paying for more detail. They just want work produced quickly as possible. The exception to this is more high end designs for Intel or server farms and things like that where good Revit skills are commanding a massive premium.
There is some talk that all public work will have to be produced in Revit at some point which would probably be the thing drives more widespread adoption. Larger architects seem to mostly be switched over to Revit now but there are still plenty of smaller enterprises don't seem to use it at all.
It's interesting to hear about your experience in the Building Services Engineering and Public Lighting Design industry, and how basic 2D AutoCAD designs are still the norm for many clients. It's understandable that clients prioritize speed and cost-efficiency, but it's also important to consider the benefits of more detailed and sophisticated designs.
It's exciting to hear about the potential for more widespread adoption of Revit, especially for public work, and how it's already in high demand for high-end designs. It seems that larger architects have already made the switch to Revit, but there's still room for smaller enterprises to catch up.
Thank you for sharing your insights on this topic. It's always fascinating to hear about how different industries and technologies are evolving over time.
Im working on Solidworks for 15 years now. Its great. Period.
Right there with you!
Really good and helpful video! Thank you very much!
First time ever seeing you, immediately subscribed :)
Thank you! Welcome on board Florian!
I know this is not your area , I'm a woodworker curious to know what would be good this to draw 2d plans and 3d models and rendered models/drawings
I am Mechanical engr graduate, am trying to learn SW and I found out about 3D experience and paying $10 a month, non commercial, but allowed to commercialize $2000 a year.
I think simulations is not included but it is great start to learn and get hired
it is included! of course, but for getting hired alone, SW is a better option right now. because companies are on SW
I am a fresh mechanical engineering student and i am confused between choosing autocad and Solidworks . Can you please guide me which one is best for me ?
Good day Muhammad, in 2023 both of this softwares can create 3D models but, SOLIDWORKS has better functionality for not only modelling but also analysis and simulation etc, while Autocad is well known for 2d Drawings.
i want to design watches and their movements as well as manufucture them with 3d printer or laser cutter etc what should i use for precision and surface finishes as well as aesthetics
Coming to the CAD, SOLIDWORKS can do it all. But in-terms of the watch, is it a wrist watch? since in that case 3dprinting might be hard, since the cheaper models cant really give you that level of detailed resolution in very small prints. the Laser might be able to do them, or you might have to Swiss Lathe them.
@@with-Aryan thanks of replying me and it's a wrist watch and I am just trying to create some prototypes well in terms of movements you can always outsource them so it's not an issue I was more thinking about the case and bracelet both are mostly gonna be metal what software should I go with?
Nice video that focuses on what usually brings people to such subject!
I'm a hobbyist/freelancer myself, so I prefer cheapest or free options available.
And here's one of the main troubles for many people (like me at least) that most companies use the free versions as a fish-hook to reel you in to their paid (and expensive) options ... or sometimes it's not even intentional, they are free, grow a big community, and then they are bought for cheap by a big company and the free versions and feats are brutally chopped or very limited.
Also not being a CAD pro, I prefer not to spend dozens of hours just to learn new software - it (and the paid versions) are worth it if you can sell your work and it's an investment,
but for hobbyists whatever software you start with you want it to be user-friendly and do your (admittedly not too complex) things as fast as possible.
I personally think that I'll head towards FreeCAD, because of the free for commercial use, and the fact that it's open source license, so it'll be difficult for a big company to appropriate it in the future.
I'm not yet familiar with FreeCAD so the ease of use and learning are still a big question for me.
But I liked a lot your very first sentence - "You should only master one CAD software ..." :)
Thanks for your feedback! Cost and accessibility are important for hobbyists. FreeCAD is a good choice for its free and open-source nature. Mastering one CAD software is a common recommendation.
Could I get results similar to Solidworks Cloud Offer by moving back and forth between an Engineering Software and an Organic Design Software?
depends on the compatiblity of the two. you might be able to , but you would be taking the more difficult route this way. Why would you want to do that?
Since you like SolidWorks, what is your opinion on 3DS?
Good day, If you mean 3DS Max, the software is mainly for creative visualization, compared to engineering work. If you are talking about 3DExperience which a the Cloud based platform, it is great, and if you want to indulge in collaboration its great.
what are your thoughts on Onshape? im good at Onshape but I just starting solidworks, it feels much harder for some reason
it's "harder" because it's more capable. Onshape was developed by the creators of SW and the icons and interface are very similar. SW is more capable
I suggest to stick with onshape. It is very powerful already and will get better every month
@@with-Aryan I would not say SW is more capable. But it has more detail functionality. Regarding top down modeling method with dependancies between parts onshape has a unique architecture which is much more capable than SW
I'm a mechanical engineer and have used inventor for quite some time and I'm thinking of changing to solidworks because I've always heard it's better. Does solidworks have options for drawings or mechanical studies like inventor nastran? and if so are they actually better or is it just a myth?
SolidWorks and Inventor are both highly capable 3D CAD software applications, but they each have their unique strengths and target audiences. Since you've mentioned you are a mechanical engineer and already have experience with Inventor, transitioning to SolidWorks could bring new opportunities and benefits depending on your specific requirements and tasks.
To address your specific inquiries:
Drawings: Both SolidWorks and Inventor have robust drawing capabilities. You can create 2D drawings from 3D models, add dimensions, annotations, BOMs, and more. While individual preferences may vary, many users find SolidWorks to have a more intuitive and flexible user interface for creating drawings.
Mechanical Studies/Analyses: SolidWorks comes with built-in simulation capabilities like static, thermal, frequency, buckling, fatigue, etc. For more advanced analysis, SolidWorks Simulation, a separate add-on, is required. It's a capable tool but may not be as advanced as Autodesk Nastran, which has capabilities for nonlinear stress analysis, dynamics, and heat transfer, among other features.
So, is SolidWorks actually better? That largely depends on the specific tasks you're performing, your personal preferences, and your work environment. SolidWorks is often praised for its user-friendly interface, powerful modeling tools, and wide industry acceptance. It's widely used in industries ranging from automotive to aerospace to consumer products, making skills in SolidWorks highly valuable.
However, if your work heavily relies on the advanced simulation capabilities of Autodesk Nastran, you might want to thoroughly investigate whether SolidWorks (with or without the Simulation add-on) can fulfill your needs.
The best course of action would be to trial SolidWorks for yourself, see how it fits into your workflow, and decide if the advantages it offers make it worthwhile for you to switch.
Is there a simpler CAD programs? Like example. I build a virtual cabinet of what I want to do. Now i can stick in virtual components to test what is the best layout and move parts around and so on? Like the engineering one I guess can that do what I am saying? Thanks
oh yeah, tons. FreeCAD, Thinker CAD...
The exact 2000th like! So I thought I'd comment too...
Thanks for the informative video, trying to decipher what type of software is best for designing the interior of a camper van conversion. Measurements and scale are important but the needs of my design are very basic. It's initially for visualising layout and ordering materials, but will later be needed for measurements to carry out the construction. This was useful to know the main categories of software available!
Thanks for watching!
I’m aspiring to work in the space industry and would like to build my CAD skills as a teen, by nature of the field I want to work in, all the CADs are very expensive. Is there some kind of personal license for the higher tier CADs or should I just stick to onshape
You need a solidworks student license. Go for that. You can also get it once you enroll in my course
Space industry use CATIA
Hello Aryan,
Can you please tell me that once I learn SW... what to do next? I mean I've learnt the tool 🔨, what to learn next to apply it to manufacturing?
Kind of vague. Are you working somewhere or freelancing?
I want to design interiour of a Car, which software would suit most?
Kind regards
Blender, Maya, ....SolidWorks Cloud
that was a lot of help in 1 video....thankyou very very much
Glad to hear that
I was going to school for engineering, however i decided to just follow an Associates in CAD. Would i be able to have some type of limited engineering position with a CAD degree?
Yes, it's certainly possible to secure a position related to engineering with an Associate's degree in Computer-Aided Design (CAD). While you may not qualify for certain roles that require a full Bachelor's degree in Engineering, there are many roles where a strong understanding of CAD is highly valuable.
Here are a few potential positions:
CAD Technician or Drafter: These roles involve creating detailed 2D or 3D designs for engineering projects using CAD software. This could be in a variety of fields, such as mechanical, electrical, civil, or architectural engineering.
Design Engineer: Some design engineer roles, particularly at the junior level, may be open to those with an Associate's degree in CAD. These roles often involve using CAD software to create and modify designs, as well as potentially assisting with product testing and problem-solving.
CAD Manager: In larger organizations, a CAD Manager oversees the use of CAD software within the company, ensuring standards are met, providing training, and troubleshooting any issues. This role typically requires extensive experience with CAD.
Engineering Technician: Engineering Technicians assist Engineers in applying designs and plans, often using CAD tools to do so. They might work in product testing, manufacturing, or maintenance.
Product Development Assistant: In this role, you might assist in the development of new products, using CAD to create prototypes, make design adjustments, and prepare production drawings.
I am a product designer student, I’d like to focus more on furniture but household appliances also interest me. I still can’t decide if a full on parametricCAD software ia for me or Rhino allowing me to model good organic products quickly. I would say I am intermediate rhino and mid to high beginner on SWs, what is best for me?
If you are eventually going to build them, SolidWorks! period!
Hey I was wondering if you had experience using Shapr3D?
a bit yes, how can I help you?
Can your solid works course be applied in the 3d experience works?
to a degree. the 3D experience has a very similar ecosystem and interface i.e. icons and workflow like SolidWork's. But here are differences too
Oh, I feel like this vid came yesterday. Thanks a lot.
Hope you enjoyed it!
Whats the best desktop computer for cad design and renderin.
don't go down that rabbit hole. Get a moderate PC and you'll be fine. CPU and RAM are most important
@@with-Aryan any recommendations?
Hi Aryan jan, Salam. I have a question. I love solidworks and I’ve been learning it and practicing here and there. I worked as an automotive tech and I am not an engineer. I kind of want to take it to next level and learn solidworks professionally. I want to know if I can find a job by just professionally knowing solidworks and not being an engineer. Please advice .
Sure, however, I cannot pinpoint exactly what and where for you. Best would be to create the next step using SOLIDWORKS then turning that into a money making machine and not just directly selling your SW skills. Although, it's just my opinion. The latter would work just fine too
What would be a good CAD software to use for engineering and architecture?
for both? As I said in the video, I am not into the world of arch. so I wouldn't recommend somehting I don't know. Although, I've heard good stuff about Sketch Up. You may wanna look that up!
can you please comment about new solidwork 3d experience is it worth learning it ?
I am doing it myself. Yes it is

What sofware is best for electrical and electronic engineering
I'm out! i don't know

Yes sir, enroll in my course for $1K and get a SW license for an additional of $99. courses.solidworkstutorials.net
I'd add MOI 3D to the "Organic design & surface modelling" space. It's a great surface/NURBS modeler on the level of Alias Wavefront (in terms of free-form surface capabilities, not in terms of overall features)
Thank you for sharing your insight on MOI 3D as an option for organic design and surface modeling. It's great to hear about other software options in the market that offer similar capabilities as Alias Wavefront. It's important to explore different software tools and find the one that works best for your specific design needs and preferences. I appreciate your contribution to the conversation!
Just curious: On a cloud software (for example Solidworks), the provider (even if they say "no we don't"), could still watch and see the whole modelling process you are working on, your files, your subdirectories, your project notes etc. and even everything you do on the window of your active browser. Correct me if I am wrong! Thanks in advance!
I would ask this for you. But let's assume they can. Why would they do that? If you are the owner and have thousands or millions of users, why would you want to check on so many projects? do you even have the resource? And what would you want to gain from it?
@@with-Aryan No need to spy on thousands of companies.. Focusing only the top 100 world wide is already a good place to start spying.. Think of Samsung teams designing a better hinge on Solidworks cloud .. Think of Elon Musk teams designing a much more efficient rocket on this.. Think of all the similar top secret projects using these kind of cloud software.. And let's say any rival organisation with deep pockets knocks the door of Solidworks.. Just saying... and therefore I am highly suspicious when it comes to working on cloud services.. Not only for Solidworks in particular but all cloud services whether it is Microsoft or Apple or any other X brand company.. Can we trust them?
On cloud: totally agree, you do not have any real justification, that nobody unauthorized will steal, review etc your work..maybe, if you have strong encryption and keys are not hold out of cloud..
What reason? Easy, isn't it... You can not be naive.. Industrial espionage.. Very convenient, especially, nobody in future can catch you.. Goverment can ask you to forward these data.. Some well known "states" could have this practice😉.
Further: huge risk dependency on cloud.. You are not dependent in life enough? Want to add another dependency? By your will?
One day cloud says: ok, in your company work too many people with blue eyes, and no longer is cloud available.. End.. You can complain with your contract, etc.. No help.. Unrealistic scenario? Really, word of "sanctions" is presently fashion... 😉 And it happen, and will happen in future, law is bended and cloud be used as leverage..
So go on: unpredictable rize of prices per cloud, or not supporting certain functions anymore, hackers attack on cloud.. Etc.. Yes cloud has advantages, but bigger risks.. Only naive people can not see it...
I wish I watch this video before wasting months trying to learn blender and that's its really not an engineering software though it had added Cad sketches. And just few days ago I was thinking to learn Autodesk. And if my project needed Bio shape I just move the drawing to Blender. But this video gave me a perfect option which is solidworks. Thank You God Bless.
never too late! you can rely on my channel to help you move faster in your career! Thanks for watching!

Sorry I don't get what you mean, could you elaborate?
I mean you placed icons of softwares representing "interior design and architecture" and "organic design and surface modeling" but you did not show icons of softwares representing "engeneering and manufacturing", in the charter at the beginning of the video min 2.30 but you did explain it during the video, i did not see the entire video, anyway i got your answer in another video @@with-Aryan
More of a Rhino 7 user but also interested in using/learning SolidWorks as well as Autodesk Inventor i also have Blender for polygon work. Mind Rhino 7 NURBS can do organic work too with built in Sub-D functions found in V7 Rhino 👊🏼🛡️
That's great to hear, Thiago! Rhino 7 is a powerful software for NURBS modeling, and its built-in Sub-D functions can indeed be helpful for organic designs. Learning SolidWorks and Autodesk Inventor will broaden your skill set, as they are widely used in the industry for mechanical design and engineering. Blender is excellent for polygon modeling and can complement your toolkit well.
Having proficiency in multiple software programs gives you flexibility and enables you to tackle a broader range of projects. As you explore and learn these different tools, you'll be able to leverage their unique features for specific design requirements.
Keep up the enthusiasm and continue expanding your knowledge and skills across different software platforms. It's a valuable asset for your career as a CAD designer. Best of luck with your learning journey!
@@with-Aryan Thank you very much for your response that's awesome 👍🏼🙂
Thoughts on Rhino 7?
Its a Surfacing Beast, can go all the way upto G6 G7 continuity, apart from this if you want to create things that you want to drive using parameters such as patterns etc, nothing beats Grasshopper.
I want to become a mechanical engineer and Im currently majoring in mechanical engineering in college. Right now Im doing community college and later i will transfer to a university.I herd that having a cad certification is helpful when you graduate. Should I try to earn my certification before i transfer to a university to study major?
Good day,
CAD certifications are platform dependent thus if you plan to take them based on SOLIDWORKS you will have to pass the CSWA, CSWP, CSWE, etc. you can start learning and practicing as soon as possible, to give you more practice for the same.
@@with-Aryan ok, thank you this helps a lot.
Hi, do know something about DesignSpark Mechanical?
I don't! I have to research that
I've been having a really hard time with solidworks for makers.
Yes,
It feels a little too constrained, that files made in makers cannot be opened by even people paying $10,000. Massively kills any support for it.
Must say if you know the fundamentals of Solidworks you will quickly understand other cad software as well.
Well said
I am student of Mechanical Engineering. I have student licence for SOLIDWORKS for free. I really love the software and want to start freelancing SOLIDWORKS something between engineering and organic. Problem is not that I am not financially able to get Standard licence. So what would you advise me to do or what to try?
It's great to hear that you love using SOLIDWORKS and are interested in freelancing with it! If you're just starting out, there are a few things you can try:
Build your skills and portfolio: Take advantage of your student license to practice and improve your SOLIDWORKS skills. You can also start building a portfolio of your work to showcase your abilities and demonstrate your expertise to potential clients.
Look for freelance opportunities: There are many websites and platforms that connect freelancers with clients who need SOLIDWORKS design work. Some examples include Upwork, Freelancer, and Fiverr. You can also reach out to local engineering firms or manufacturers to see if they need any freelance work done.
Start small: When you're just starting out, it's a good idea to start with small projects and build up your experience and reputation. This can also help you build relationships with clients and get more work in the future.
As for getting a Standard license, you may want to consider saving up or looking for opportunities to earn extra income to cover the cost. Alternatively, you can also consider using other CAD software that may be more affordable or offer free versions, such as Fusion 360 or Onshape.
Ultimately, the key to successful freelancing is to continually build your skills and network, and to deliver high-quality work that meets the needs of your clients. Good luck on your freelancing journey!
You read my mind and answered all questions!
I feel violated...
Thank you for the compliment.
been using c4d for a little while, I'm no master at 3d (more of a vfx artist so a lot of ae work). i think I'm going to go with solidworks for 3d printing needs
Great choice! when are you planning to start?
@@with-Aryanwhenever I find a good crack 😂
What can you possibly do with Catia that you cannot do with solidworks/fusion360?
about a 1001 things. CAM for starters
I've been a Mechanical Design Engineer in the aviation industry for almost 11 years. I've used AutoCAD, Solidworks and CATIA 3DX & V5. When it comes to solid modeling CATIA and SW are similar in that they are both sketch based, they just have different ways of doing the same thing. However, when it comes to surfacing CATIA is King. CATIA is also great for working in large assemblies as in a section of an aircraft, SW starts to bog down if the assembly gets too big.
@@BrianRhodes9763 At Northrup Grumman we used CATIA for those huge aircraft carriers.
@@Movieman1965 I actually think that would be a great project to work on.
@@BrianRhodes9763 It was. They broke down each compartment into the various disciplines, like electrical routing, piping, etc. I'm sure you are familiar with this process working in Aviation. I worked in aviation back in 2015 for aircraft evacuation slide design at a smalll company call EAM ( Eastern Aero Marine). Their big specialty is aircraft emergency rafts and inflatable life vests. You can see two of their rafts used in the movie Castaway where Tom Hanks tries to leave the island in an inflatable raft.
doing something very specialized? embedding info in the solid models and assemblies? choose the one which communicates with the software provider the least as they communicate with the software proovider as they vacuum up your keystrokes to come up with new commands. when that happens some other operator in a year or so then gets new commands to do with ease what you spent good time doing but at a lower salary. find a way to block the info flow to the borg.
Its inevitable that technology will keep getting better, and efficiency is the only thing that companies plan to raise each year, talk about new features like Double Mirror, 3D textures, drag and drop appearances etc, time savers for sure.
thats just productivity on the CAD end. prooductivity increases on factory floor is what matters. some customers of manufactures demand a certain percentage every year.

Is SW best for freelance work?
what kind of work dude?
I disagree that you should only master ONE CAD software solution. Like in the case of SolidWorks, we already see a merge between CATIA and Solidworks within the 3dexperience, therefore mastering only one solution would be a bad idea imho.
At least!! I said at least. two would be better
i came by ads here , I went through, I appreciate your effort, i see your 3D modeling ability level is not even close to monsters over there, but nice trying ,and keep trying maybe it will be improved
what ads? Which monsters? Over where?
I can’t find the course please for the link

You should declare who is sponsoring you in the first 30 seconds not after 5min into video.
Good day, certain sponsors are only for certain segments of the video, and thus they are mentioned at that point of the video.
Great, fast presentation. And the way you sell is pleasant and believable.
hhaa, thanks?
I have been trying to install solidworks cracked on my laptop for a while in windows 11 but unable to activate the software. Tried many version of solidworks but still no success. So can anyone help me ? 🙏🙏
I'm sorry, but I cannot provide assistance with installing or using cracked software. Cracked software is illegal and can pose serious risks to your computer's security and stability. It's important to always use legitimate, licensed software to ensure that you have access to technical support, updates, and security patches, and to avoid potential legal consequences.
I'm a freshman in collage as of know and I can't use anything but solidworks and I'm not mad about it it is superior
You're able to pick that up in no time if you are dedicated enough to master it!
I completed CSWA recently. Shall i Go for Next level ..?
I don't see why not
I just want to know what it cost can someone write it please? Can’t find it on the website
for what?
Another category is how hard is it to learn for the purpose. If you want a job in your chosen industry, go with the big boys, but I I don't want the hassle of learning such sophisticated programs and the UI such with Autodesk versions, Solidworks, Catia ect... I'm looking to upgrade my cad now and the three I'm looing at are MOI, SelfCAD and Plasticity. Which one I'l go for I have no idea yet, but all I'm saying is not everyone will need such hard to learn and expensive programs. Even with Tinkercad people have made lots of cool stuff, but yeah, that's a bit primitive even for me.
PS: I think cloud based cad sucks, but that's obviously just my opinion.
It's a great point that not everyone may need to learn or use the more sophisticated CAD programs such as Autodesk versions, Solidworks, or Catia. It really depends on your industry and the specific requirements of the job.
It's good to hear that you're researching and exploring other CAD options like MOI, SelfCAD, and Plasticity. It's important to find the right fit for your needs and preferences, and sometimes a less complex program can still produce great results.
As for cloud-based CAD, it's understandable that it may not be for everyone. It has its pros and cons, and it really depends on factors such as internet connection, security concerns, and personal preferences. Ultimately, it's important to choose the CAD program that works best for your specific situation and needs.
Nicely explained 🤗 man... Love from 🇮🇳 ... You earned a subscriber
Thank you for the kind words.
Thank you
You're welcome
CONS for SW Desktop - you can't open newer files of the next SW Desktop version. Awesome :D
yeap!
Is Maya a cad I usually do it in school.
Good day, Sadly Maya is not a CAD package but a Mesh modelling tool, usually you will create engineering based design in SOLIDWORKS, with large scale animation and visualization in Maya or 3DS Max.
As one who doesn’t yet enjoy high speed internet, cloud based solutions are simply out of the question.
very valid point! where are you located?
@@with-Aryan Rural Pennsylvania.
I was modeling in blender since im 13 so its 9 years now
Like 2 years ago i went to college and we had autocad classes
And I have to say one thing i can model anything i need in blender But the way autocad let u make a blueprint first and then use it to make a model is Just something different and I find it incredibly usefull
I tried using other cad softwares But I Just cant get it
I Just want to put all different shapes in and then use cut tool to delete parts that I dont need
Different workflows, but CAD unlike blender models, need to be manifold, which allows them to be 3d printed/ manufactured with ease.
@@with-Aryan yes but still i can make manifold models in blender all i really need is to keep model closed or i can use solidify modifier to make all planes thick
then just adjust supports in 3d printer settings so it will fill the object inside properly
Solidworks is just like a new born baby and if you are a Best dad you can do whatever you want...
haha, ok
Also SolidEdge is very good software 3D cad.
Also software Swood with Solidworks is good.
ok, cool
thanks aryan happy Christmas
Thanks, likewise (eventhough it's february) haha
Sir, I want purchase your full course I already mail you regarding this so I request you please reply me.

How about Solid Edge? I know there is a free version for makers.
Not as strong dude! Gets some jobs though
For engineering and manufacturing Fusion 360 is the best. For órganic design and surface modeling Blender is the best. For car design Autodesk Alias is the best
why?
Hello sir. Do you know how to download a cracked version of solid works? Please respond.
unfortunately not, sorry
Very good explanation sir.
Thanks for watching and welcome
thanks
No mention of Solid Edge???
that's a very good one. It's on the lower tier league though, but still a very sharp and capable tool
When you are looking for aleternatives for solidworks and get told that solidworks is the goat xdddd
What are some of the core reasons you plan to shift away? only thing I can think of is your company does not use SOLIDWORKS.
Fusion 360 is pretty great
I just want to design things to 3D print.
Nothing too complicated, things for around the house or in for students at school.
That is the hobbyist level, where you just want stuff that works, and is a great place to start, the thing with CAD is the jump from hobbyist to freelance is not far off, thus with the right education, in a while you will find yourself freelancing for a decent side income.
