Hands-on Training in SolidWorks

Event Date and year:19th August - 20th August 2025

Event brief description

The Department of Mechanical Engineering, Galgotias University, organized a Hands-on Training Program in SolidWorks on 19th – 20th August 2025. The session was conducted by Mr. Akash Kumar Tyagi (A.E., IDSPL) and was specially designed for the faculty and staff members of the department.

The training focused on SolidWorks 3D Core Concepts, providing participants with an in-depth understanding of the software’s user interface, sketching, part modeling, and assembly creation. On the first day, participants were introduced to the basics of SolidWorks, including 2D sketching, extrude and cut features, drafting, and detailing. The second day advanced into case studies such as modeling castings and forgings, applying design intent, using revolved features, and employing advanced tools like shelling, ribs, and patterns.

This hands-on approach allowed participants to explore industry-level design practices and strengthen their CAD skills. The program enabled faculty and staff to enhance their ability to create accurate 3D models, assemblies, and professional drawings while improving their problem-solving and design troubleshooting capabilities.
