Recommended Experience Level
- SOLIDWORKS Essentials
Description
Surfaces on a product are where art really does meet design. SOLIDWORKS provides tools to control topology and control one or more faces of a given feature to help that art take shape. Complex shapes become simple when understanding advanced surfacing tools like lofts, sweeps and splines.
Recommended For
- Consumer product good manufacturers and designers.
- Anyone who is concerned with product marketing, ergonomics etc…
