This, more than a tutorial, is a series of recommendations to improve your SolidWorks modeling skills. We cannot forget that if we are on the road and it has become easier, it is because others have already walked it and contributed their share to the evolution of us. List of some SolidWorks Masters from whom we should learn: Thomas Parel https://www.coroflot.com/parel/Portfolio1 Edward Eaton (Dimonte Group) https://dimontegroup.com/projects/mistronics-advantage-housing/ https://dimontegroup.com/projects/natus-echo-screen-iii/ https://dimontegroup.com/news-resources/ Mike J.

Mandalorian Helmet

Edgar Gidoni

12 0 Intermediate
This is a tutorial on how to model our version of the Mandalorian helmet. The model was done very fast, less than an hour, and we didn't worry so much about the measurements but the proportions. We didn't do a lot of details, just the basics to present it to a group of students. Anyway I think it can be useful for some SW colleagues. You can download the 3D model here: https://grabcad.com/library/mandalorian-helmet-11

11 8 Beginner
This is a short course on 3D modeling in SolidWorks using surfaces. Surfaces have many advantages for modeling objects aimed at the general consumer market (bottles [plastic, or glass for perfumes and beverages], phones, watches, hand tools, power tools, etc.). The course will be divided into several parts. We will try to cover from the basics, to the more complex use of surfaces. Stay tuned for the different parts of the course. Enjoy!
