Description
Learn fundamental CAD modeling in Onshape from scratch, and become confident designing real mechanical parts, assemblies, and engineering drawings.

This course teaches you how engineers think when modeling, so your designs are clean, editable, and ready for manufacturing, simulation, or collaboration inside modern cloud-based workflows.

What You’ll Learn Inside the Course

1. Sketching Mastery (The Foundation of All CAD Work)

Learn all essential sketch tools

Lines, rectangles, circles, splines, fillets, chamfers, polygons, mirror, offset entities, construction geometry, constraints, relations, patterns, and more so your models are stable and fully defined.

2. 3D Modeling Essentials

You’ll learn part-design features

Extrude, Cut, Revolve, Sweep, Loft, Fillet, Chamfer, Draft, Shell, Ribs, Patterns, Reference Planes, Mass Properties, and modeling strategies used in real products.

3. Building Assemblies Like an Engineer

Learn how to

• position parts correctly

• apply mates and mechanical relationships

• avoid mate errors

• organize large assemblies

Covers best practices for building reliable mechanisms and multi-part products in Onshape.

4. Creating Engineering Drawings for Manufacturing

Learn how to

• create drawing views

• add dimensions & tolerances

• generate BOM tables

• prepare drawings for real production

• revision and documentation workflows

By the End of This Course, You Will

• design complete 3D parts and assemblies from scratch

• create manufacturing-ready drawings

• think like a real CAD designer — not just a tool user

• apply for CAD or mechanical design jobs with confidence

• negotiate higher pay by demonstrating real skills

• start freelancing or launch your CAD career
