SolidWorks CAD Modeling

Platform SolidWorks 2024
Type Self-Directed Learning
Date July 2025

Overview

Two self-directed SolidWorks modeling projects to build proficiency across different CAD disciplines: a PC tower case exercising sheet metal and multi-body part design, and a wireless mouse exercising advanced surfacing and ergonomic freeform geometry.


PC Tower Case

A full-size ATX PC tower case modeled with sheet metal features. Includes fan mounting cutouts, PCIe expansion slot openings, ventilation grilles, cable management holes, and internal standoff features.
