Duration: 1 day
This course will focus on building sheet metal parts using SOLIDWORKS 3D software. This course will teach the best methods for creating sheet metal parts from scratch, developing flat patterns from existing solid models, and using sheet metal specific features such as forming tools, tabs, edge flanges, miter flanges and more.
