SolidWorks for Product Designers
Beginner Level Introduction
Pulley Project - Lesson 03
Learn from a veteran Certified SolidWorks Expert. I've taught this project to over 800 Industrial Design students at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia, and now I'm bringing it straight to your screen.
Follow along as we build a functional Pulley, starting with the very basics of SolidWorks part modelling. This video is the third in a series as part of the Pulley Project.
