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 !! 😁
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 UA-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.
Im also a machinist and want to learn solidworks. I prefer the portability of a laptop so i can bring it into my shop and back. What do you recommend for a laptop that will run smoothly but not break the bank. @Creator_Nater
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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 :)
I subscribed to your channel at 3 minutes into this video when you have yet to make any recommendations because I really appreciate the way you communicate with the viewer and the quality of the video you're producing. Just wanted to encourage you with that feedback.
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.
@@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.
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
Hello sir, thank you for this video. I have worked with SolidWorks, Fusion 360 and AutoCAD. I consider solidworks to be easiest to work with. My question is more about how to approach a certain company professional, for example a person working in the design division of a manufacturing company, what all should i say and what should I do to expand my portfolio so that i have things to display as my work? Should the portfolio be catered to their company or show my work in general with the software?
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.
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
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🎄
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. @@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!
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.
Excellent video ! I love my Solidworks, but unfortunately I don't have access to it anymore (long story). Anyway what is your opinion on Solidworks for Makers? I was using Solidworks Professional, but don't necessarily need the professional version. At this point I can't afford the standard Solidworks.
@@sakshamjangid6698 I wanted to take the course thinking the cost to be around 100 USD, but when I saw 499 USD, I realised it's just unaffordable as a student in Asia.
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 work with cnc machine stone products now i model in blender make g code in powermill. Which your suggest for me I comfortable with blender but i think SOLIDWORKS is essentially for me. Use both is better or focus in one?
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.
The easiest to learn are the Chief architect products. You normally can draw in 3D but if you want you can just do 2D if you don't want to input all the dimensions required for 3D.
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!
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
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?
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.
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.
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?
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?
Thank you for your information I am a mechanical student and love doing design. I have already worked on Fusion 360 and CAD. I have an intermediate level of proficiency in this software. so do I switch to Solidwork or make more efficient in these two software? do you think spending time on learning solid works will pay me more than Fusion and Autocad Please reply as soon as possible
Good day, Coming to skill, all CAD platform are basically the same, they all have extrude, cut and revolve, sweep etc. These are fundamental ways to add/remove material. What changes is the name of them, their location on the screen etc, Overall it will depend which company you want to work at, else you will have to First do a research of which companies use what Software.
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!
So what would you recommend for someone wanting to learn to make a variety of products? I feel like there’s a gap between what you’re describing as organic and engineering-based. I’m not looking to design digital assets like characters, but I’m also not going for engineering-based components… I want to build/invent my own products that I could patent, sell, build a brand around, etc.
Your question doesnt really make sense. Any modelling program can create whatever model you want to make.... its a blank canvas no matter which program you open up. Application and scope should be the questions you are asking. Unless you got an expendable 10k to drop on a license for a professional software, Fusion360 is really the only option worth your time.
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
I'm a beginner with this, but is there a big difference in performance between a software for CAD and software for CAM. I'm asking because i'm seeing a lot about MasterCam and AutoDesk Fusion 360 as being the best at both being CAD/CAM software.
Usually modelling programs have both as a '2 in 1'. SW, NX, Catia, Fusion360, MasterCam, all are CAD/CAM programs. Fusion360 is nowhere near being 'the best', but for the price of $0 it cant be beat in that respect haha. MasterCam is a really strong CAD/CAM mainly used for cnc machining applications due to the setups for the tooling, machines, pathing etc.
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
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!
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
@@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
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..
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.
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.
Look at it as the highend sister of SOLIDWORKS from the same parent company which is more cable. Though less user friendly imo with more modules integrated in it. Many big corps use it e.g. Boeing
سلام ارین عزیز . من قبلا با نرم افزارهای معماری مانند اسکچاپ و رویت و مکس کار کردم . اما الان میخوام کارگاه نجاری احداث کنم و محصولات چوبی مثل مبلمان و کابینت و حتی چوب بیلیارد و میز بیلیارد حرفه ای تولید کنم . احتمالا از سی ان سی در بعضی موارد استفاده خواهم کرد . به نظرتون از چه نرم افزاری استفاده کنم . ممنون
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!
The software doesn’t matter. Different companies use different software. Learn and understand the principle of 3D modelling and it will be easy to use any professionell software. It takes a couple of days to learn using a different system.
Fusion 360 still works with no internet, you save and work locally ..but access for sharing is limited, access to mcmastercarr components needs internet obviously ...certain applications or functions.. add ons need internet...it's more desktop than you think
You're correct, Fusion 360 does have offline functionality where you can save and work locally without an internet connection. While some features and functionalities may require internet access, Fusion 360 does provide a desktop-oriented experience. It offers a balance between offline capabilities and online connectivity for collaboration, accessing libraries, and add-ons. Thank you for pointing out these details about Fusion 360!
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.
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!
Dear aryan sir. I am a 1st year engineering student. I want to become a mechanical design engineer. At now I dont have any experience in these softwares. But i want to learn and want to become good when I graduate. So can you give me small guidance where should i start like which software should I learn first how to get certifications and how to study simulation softwares, what are the affordable options like that. It will help me a lot. Also I want to mention that I want to work work as a design engineer in automotive and (or) product design field. I hope you will reply to this
Forget the affordability as there are neumerous ways to get cheap licenses and they are mostly moving towards this direction i.e. subscription inlcuding solidworks. I do recommend SW because I am very acquainted with it and companies are switching to sw rather tha away from it from the emails I get from people. Start with modeling first, don't rush it. simulation should follow much later. learn the basics first. practice and find a tutor, these are your best friends to start your journey
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
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?
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.
i'm a mechanical enginer myself however I'm not an expert tho. i have tried pretty much all of the cad software and believe me guys nothing is like solidworks. free options just like Freecad are just waste of time.
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.
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
Solidworks offers courses and certifications for their CAD. If you are looking to transition into that line of work without going to school, i believe that avenue would be worth your time to investigate. All the best!!
sorry to disappoint you like this. I dont know all the software and no one else does either. I said right off the bat that if you need a package for architecture for example, sw is not for you. so i don't think it was endorsing sw for everything. yes, for engineering? definately the best and I say it strongly
Start with SolidWorks Free (Limited seats) ▶ courses.solidworkstutorials.net/sa-registration?sl=cad

Hello, have you ever tried to produce your own products and become suppliers?
Just see tutorials of random India dudes teaching whole software on youtube
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
As a Product Designer, AutoCAD and SOLIDWORKS is the way to go
BOOM! you said it!
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
@@martinsvensson6884 I like Inventor, since I did my tesis in 2006, however, for some reason, Solidworks is most used than Inventor.
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
I hated ProE not user friendly at all and the people at customer service were the biggest A holes I had ever encountered.
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
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!
I subscribed to your channel at 3 minutes into this video when you have yet to make any recommendations because I really appreciate the way you communicate with the viewer and the quality of the video you're producing. Just wanted to encourage you with that feedback.
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.
Im working on Solidworks for 15 years now. Its great. Period.
Right there with you!
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
Hello sir, thank you for this video. I have worked with SolidWorks, Fusion 360 and AutoCAD. I consider solidworks to be easiest to work with. My question is more about how to approach a certain company professional, for example a person working in the design division of a manufacturing company, what all should i say and what should I do to expand my portfolio so that i have things to display as my work? Should the portfolio be catered to their company or show my work in general with the software?
Channel quality is going up every single video. Nice job!
Much appreciated!
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.
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?
Can you provide examples of good 3D modelers?
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!
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.

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 👍🏼🙂
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.
Excellent video ! I love my Solidworks, but unfortunately I don't have access to it anymore (long story). Anyway what is your opinion on Solidworks for Makers? I was using Solidworks Professional, but don't necessarily need the professional version. At this point I can't afford the standard Solidworks.
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 am currently learning nx but I'm gonna also learn solid works after watching this video (I'm a student)
oh definitely!
@@with-Aryan nah bruh not from you, I'll go with free online courses
@@sakshamjangid6698 I wanted to take the course thinking the cost to be around 100 USD, but when I saw 499 USD, I realised it's just unaffordable as a student in Asia.

Bro how is the NX , compared to solidworks , which one will you choose ?
Oh, I feel like this vid came yesterday. Thanks a lot.
Hope you enjoyed it!
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 work with cnc machine stone products now i model in blender make g code in powermill. Which your suggest for me I comfortable with blender but i think SOLIDWORKS is essentially for me. Use both is better or focus in one?
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!
The easiest to learn are the Chief architect products. You normally can draw in 3D but if you want you can just do 2D if you don't want to input all the dimensions required for 3D.
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!
Must say if you know the fundamentals of Solidworks you will quickly understand other cad software as well.
Well said
Very good explanation sir.
Thanks for watching and welcome
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 😂
that was a lot of help in 1 video....thankyou very very much
Glad to hear that

Thank you for the kind words.
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?
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.
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
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 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!
Thank you! I just needed a list
Glad I could help!
Thank you for your information
I am a mechanical student and love doing design. I have already worked on Fusion 360 and CAD. I have an intermediate level of proficiency in this software. so do I switch to Solidwork or make more efficient in these two software? do you think spending time on learning solid works will pay me more than Fusion and Autocad
Please reply as soon as possible
Good day,
Coming to skill, all CAD platform are basically the same, they all have extrude, cut and revolve, sweep etc. These are fundamental ways to add/remove material. What changes is the name of them, their location on the screen etc, Overall it will depend which company you want to work at, else you will have to First do a research of which companies use what Software.
@@with-Aryanhi there !!! ¿¿¿ What about plasticity 3d ??? Greetings from argentina 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
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!
So what would you recommend for someone wanting to learn to make a variety of products? I feel like there’s a gap between what you’re describing as organic and engineering-based. I’m not looking to design digital assets like characters, but I’m also not going for engineering-based components… I want to build/invent my own products that I could patent, sell, build a brand around, etc.
Your question doesnt really make sense. Any modelling program can create whatever model you want to make.... its a blank canvas no matter which program you open up. Application and scope should be the questions you are asking. Unless you got an expendable 10k to drop on a license for a professional software, Fusion360 is really the only option worth your time.
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?
I'm a beginner with this, but is there a big difference in performance between a software for CAD and software for CAM. I'm asking because i'm seeing a lot about MasterCam and AutoDesk Fusion 360 as being the best at both being CAD/CAM software.
Usually modelling programs have both as a '2 in 1'. SW, NX, Catia, Fusion360, MasterCam, all are CAD/CAM programs. Fusion360 is nowhere near being 'the best', but for the price of $0 it cant be beat in that respect haha. MasterCam is a really strong CAD/CAM mainly used for cnc machining applications due to the setups for the tooling, machines, pathing etc.
Desktop, you continue to pay subscription, performance also varies, meaning is not guaranteed given windows updated, gpu drivers, and others
SAAS will be the future, looks like all we can do is embrace subscription models.
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.
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...
I use Autocad and PTC Creo
Great, fast presentation. And the way you sell is pleasant and believable.

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!
What do you recommend for 3D modelling a lot of wiring looms/cables etc?
are those wirings only for 'astethics' or functional?

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
Also SolidEdge is very good software 3D cad.
Also software Swood with Solidworks is good.
ok, cool
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?
Maybe check to see if Exocad will accommodate your desires
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'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.
cad is on be of the best app to use for schools
true
Inventor and fusion because inventor is just the best but fusion you can 3d print with
You can 3D print with all of them not just 360
@@with-Aryan wait but my printer only takes fusion models even if i slice it with prusa cura or creality
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
The desktop versions are free, try them
not really
thanks aryan happy Christmas
Thanks, likewise (eventhough it's february) haha
Bro what is catia v5 please explain me😊
Look at it as the highend sister of SOLIDWORKS from the same parent company which is more cable. Though less user friendly imo with more modules integrated in it. Many big corps use it e.g. Boeing

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!
CONS for SW Desktop - you can't open newer files of the next SW Desktop version. Awesome :D
yeap!
The software doesn’t matter. Different companies use different software. Learn and understand the principle of 3D modelling and it will be easy to use any professionell software. It takes a couple of days to learn using a different system.
CATIA is my fan favorite
Fusion 360 still works with no internet, you save and work locally ..but access for sharing is limited, access to mcmastercarr components needs internet obviously ...certain applications or functions.. add ons need internet...it's more desktop than you think
You're correct, Fusion 360 does have offline functionality where you can save and work locally without an internet connection. While some features and functionalities may require internet access, Fusion 360 does provide a desktop-oriented experience. It offers a balance between offline capabilities and online connectivity for collaboration, accessing libraries, and add-ons. Thank you for pointing out these details about Fusion 360!

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!
Dear aryan sir. I am a 1st year engineering student. I want to become a mechanical design engineer. At now I dont have any experience in these softwares. But i want to learn and want to become good when I graduate. So can you give me small guidance where should i start like which software should I learn first how to get certifications and how to study simulation softwares, what are the affordable options like that. It will help me a lot. Also I want to mention that I want to work work as a design engineer in automotive and (or) product design field. I hope you will reply to this
Forget the affordability as there are neumerous ways to get cheap licenses and they are mostly moving towards this direction i.e. subscription inlcuding solidworks. I do recommend SW because I am very acquainted with it and companies are switching to sw rather tha away from it from the emails I get from people. Start with modeling first, don't rush it. simulation should follow much later. learn the basics first. practice and find a tutor, these are your best friends to start your journey
So you did not place icons of the main softwares for engineering and manufacturing, you did it though for organic 3d modeling and architecture ?
Sorry I don't get what you mean, could you elaborate?

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?

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, do know something about DesignSpark Mechanical?
I don't! I have to research that
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.
i'm a mechanical enginer myself however I'm not an expert tho. i have tried pretty much all of the cad software and believe me guys nothing is like solidworks.
free options just like Freecad are just waste of time.
Best comment of the year!
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.
You read my mind and answered all questions!
I feel violated...
Thank you for the compliment.
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
Solidworks offers courses and certifications for their CAD. If you are looking to transition into that line of work without going to school, i believe that avenue would be worth your time to investigate. All the best!!
@@VojvodaSloboda thank you 🙏🏾
What about Solid Edge?
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
Was expecting a serious comparison of different cad systems. Got a Solidworks commercial...
sorry to disappoint you like this. I dont know all the software and no one else does either. I said right off the bat that if you need a package for architecture for example, sw is not for you. so i don't think it was endorsing sw for everything. yes, for engineering? definately the best and I say it strongly
I completed CSWA recently. Shall i Go for Next level ..?
I don't see why not
