What You'll Learn
Course Agenda
Lesson 1: Introduction, User Interface & Navigation
In the first lesson of this course you will learn Design X terminology and practice navigating the user interface.
Lesson 2: Modelling without mesh
Discover how to make use of the parametric features that are used to build models as well as understand the feature tree.
Lesson 3: Modelling from mesh data
The user will learn how to import scan data into a session to uses a reference for modelling building on the previous lesson.
Lesson 4: Region editing
Learn what 'Region Segmentation' is and how they are used to interact with the mesh data.
Lesson 5: Alignment
Lesson 5 gives the user an understanding of different methods of aligning individual scans to each other.
Lesson 6: Scan registration
Explore how best to align their scan data to the XYZ axis of the model space and understand why this is a crucial step.
Lesson 7: Scan Preparation
Explore some of the editing tools that we have available to edit, clean up and repair imported scan data.
Lesson 8: Live transfer
Learn how to use Live Transfer to recreate the model in SOLIDWORKS complete with feature tree.
Lesson 9: Freeform surfacing
Focuses on how the user can extract surfaces directly from scan data.
Lesson 10: Auto Surfacing
Guide through all the necessary stages of required to generate a successful auto surface.
Lesson 11: Optional Modelling practice
The final lesson of this course allows the user to further practice all the skills and techniques learnt in previous lesson. (Final Lesson will be dependant on time).
