SolidWorks CAD Design: Modeling and Assembling a Kids Bicycle

Want to learn 3D CAD modeling with a practical, hands-on project? SolidWorks is the industry standard for product design, and the best way to master it is by building real-world objects from scratch. In this comprehensive written course, you will transition from a beginner to a confident CAD designer. You will learn how to model individual bicycle components, assemble them with precise mates, and run basic simulations to verify your design's structural integrity. What you'll learn: 1. Understand foundational CAD terminology, sketching tools, and parametric design principles in SolidWorks. 2. Model complex bicycle parts including the frame, wheels, handlebars, and pedals. 3. Apply standard, advanced, and mechanical mates to assemble all components into a functional 3D model. 4. Configure basic structural simulations and motion studies to test your assembly. 5. Practice design-for-manufacturing principles to ensure your parts can be realistically produced. You will start with SolidWorks basics and interface navigation before moving systematically through step-by-step part creation, assembly configuration, and final simulation testing. This course is designed for absolute beginners, aspiring product designers, and engineering students with no prior CAD experience.
