Master SOLIDWORKS SHEET METAL

Master SolidWorks Sheet Metal – the most comprehensive guide to every tool in the module

Level up your SolidWorks skills by mastering the Sheet Metal module!

SolidWorks is one of the most popular and powerful 3D CAD programs in the world, used by millions to design everything from 3D-printed toys to fully-working mechanical vehicles. But SolidWorks is more than just solid models — its powerful Sheet Metal module lets you virtually fabricate 3D parts from flat sheets, opening up a whole new world of design possibilities.

Now you can join the ranks of SolidWorks Sheet Metal users and learn to create your own Sheet Metal models from scratch!

Why this course is different

There are plenty of Sheet Metal courses online — but none quite like this one:

• Every tool, covered in depth. This course goes through the entire SolidWorks Sheet Metal module, including the theory behind key concepts like Bend Allowance — so you truly understand what you're doing, not just how to click the buttons.

• Taught by a working professional. Your instructor has used SolidWorks since 2006, holds SolidWorks Certified Associate and Professional qualifications, and works daily as a Product Design Engineer — designing real products for real clients. No academic-only experience here.

• Understand real-world Sheet Metal use. Beyond the tools, this course covers practical manufacturing considerations — including material selection and real-world fabrication tips — so you're learning skills that translate directly to industry.

• Built on thousands of students' feedback. This course builds on the instructor's other bestselling SolidWorks courses, refined using feedback from over 40,000 Udemy students.

A note on versions

The course is taught in SolidWorks 2019 and is fully compatible with any newer version. If you're using an older version (2015–2018 or earlier), you can still follow along — though you won't be able to open the example model files, and there may be minor differences in interface and terminology.
