This is exactly what I do. I’ve brought my expert Solidworks skills and extensive 3d printing knowledge into my last few jobs. Starting as a machinist and now a full time mechanical and design engineer I can do it all. Also having a few patents in my name. It feels good doesn’t it? This video resonates with me a lot and appreciate your channel. Keep it up!

[@adelajasamuel1]

Hey you didn't talk about FEA simulation which is very important to access product performance.

[@with-Aryan]

Good day, Yes, FEA is key, which is why its also a smart idea to position yourself as a Design Engineer, who combines CAD+FEA+GD&T. and capture a wider range of jobs.

I would like to know which keyboard and mouse you recommend for me to buy. Right now I'm leaning towards a Logitech mx mechanical keyboard and a Logitech master 3s mouse. Thank you for the amazing work.

[@with-Aryan]

Logitech makes good stuff, but again when it comes to CAD nothing beats 3DConnextion, since their mouse has 3 button + 1 scroll wheel, massively takes away finger fatigue, I would highly recommend taking a look into their product range.

[@26vetrax99]

If I'm planning to use CAD software purely for hobbyist purposes, should I look at Solidworks or consider other options like Rhino or FreeCAD?

[@with-Aryan]

what are you going to design? mechanical stuff like gearbox, mechanisms? Or more organic decorative geometries? SW for former Rhino for latter

[@pashmakseller9733]

when it comes to Solidworks I always have a few parts I don't get it I mean I'm a little frustrated I'll start studying software engineering but as I worked for more than 3 years and learned Solidworks by myself I mean I'm frustrated now what to do should I take my Solidworks and CNC machine skills higher so when immigrating from Iran to Germany use it as a job or leave it behind I love creating things but I'm not sure about my level that I can work for a company or not so what do you think? I really can't decide that I keep my love to mechanical engineering within my other passions or not cause I can really see my lack of knowledge in areas that a person get in uni and I don't want a degree for it at least in this state of my life but also can't help my mind not thinking to working with solidworks or learning things about all kind of production and CNC machines and lots of industry related things I'm stucked in middle ground

[@with-Aryan]

if you can do the former, then do it man! or just find CNC machines here and go work there. but that's a very good idea to do in Germany.

[@pashmakseller9733]

thanks for the reply yeah maybe I'll do it. don't know sometimes life is really hard and you feel stuck. for now, I have to fight depression and being hopeless already tired of life at 21 💚@@with-Aryan ❤ hope you the best love your contents

[@JeromeDemers]

I did the same thing for 3D printing back in 2013. We now have 16+ printers. It’s a no brainer. You outsource 2 parts and it pays for the 3D printer. 😂

[@with-Aryan]

Exactly, the turnaround time is way quicker and you can print stuff even on a sunday when certain outsourcing facilities would be closed.

[@DT-123sw]

Hello, congratulations on the great video! I am also interested in making money with Solidwork, sound awesome. I made some research and understand that I need a licensed software. The price for licensed is too high and I still can’t afford it… I found 3d experience Solidworks for makers which is 9.99 USD/month but I am not sure if it’s suitable for making money with it….. can you please help me with this problem? Can you suggest me where I can buy/rent (cloud rent) Solidworks which I can afford to start working? Can you suggest another good softwares to start with, which are on reasonable prices? Thank you in advance!

[@with-Aryan]

For starters you can join a firm as a design engineer, since they will pay for the Software. Coming to Makers its a big NO NO for freelancing, since the part files are locked in such a way that only other makers versions can open it, and thus if a client requests for the editable files, your files will be useless to them, since mostly they will need them in at least SW Professional or Premium.

Hey Aryan, I hope you are doing well. I recently been watching your videos and was wondering how can I become a SW freelancer when SW is like $8000? I don't have that money and I heard using the student version won't help my case either since SW apparently detects the student version from the premium version on models. Apparently it causes some piracy strike, but I cannot confirm how true that is. I am not sure if there are any other affordable options out there, so I was wondering if you knew any?

[@with-Aryan]

I understand but that is just how things are in 2023, For smaller self projects when you are working on your portfolio you can try SW Makers edition. Else its always better to start out at a company, and save up for a true copy of SOLIDWORKS.

[@nima_br1]

Hello to my Iranian friend can you post a video about balancing on SolidWorks Or is there such a feature in Solid Works or not؟❤🙏

[@with-Aryan]

Balancing? you mean wheel balancing? if you are talking about see-saw style balancing we can simply use the fulcrum formula for that. or if you have the premium version of SOLIDOWORKS, you can run motion analyses, which mimic real life situations.

[@abproductdesigner3724]

Of course! As long as what they require of you is within your strength, you can do that

[@konstantinektov3473]

Is it a good idea to become a mechanical design freelancer in the country which is under sanctions? Like Iran or Russia?

Can u please make a guide on design certificate. I am very confused.

Good day, Do you mean the certification exams SOLIDWORKS conducts? such as CSWA, CSWP, CSWE? I am planning to release a video on the same shortly. But for now if you want training to pass these exams on first try, do check out my course which covers the certification exams to the CSWP level.

[@fraserhardmetal7143]

What have you physically created and manufactured using Solidworks ? Virtual creations are all well and good , but the long term cost of the software ( and the same with Catia ) really mean you need to be part of a profitable enterprise to make the proposition feasible. A steady input of profitable work is the only way that high-end CAD software makes any sense , however desirable its ownership is, it is a means to an end, and not an end in itself.

Great videos I just started following and I love the way you explain in ways you can apply everything you talk about in real world situations! I'm an automotive tech. and I want to model and design performance parts for cars. I would say I'm average at using Solidworks and plan on investing more of my time to learn Solidworks since I'm already familiar with it, my question is do you recommend investing fully into Solidworks or another modeling sofware ? I feel like you are the first person who I can relate the way I want to learn Solidworks and can relate to the real work experience

[@adam1cooke2]

Hi Aryan, Great Video! I was confused with what you said at the end, are you recommending that you need to be active with our online freelance profiles and that its worth offering a competitive price so the employer can see your value you can offer them? And then from there on offer more and more work to them but at a great value for what you offer them

[@with-Aryan]

no no, you don't have to, you certainly can! but what I mean is to show it at work directly, you don't need to freelance elsewhere to show your worth. there are plenty stuff at work that you can solve for them

[@matdl5472]

What is the advantage of using the 3dexp platform over other sculpting software like Zbrush or anything adjacent?

[@with-Aryan]

Its compatibility with SOLIDWORKS for one. Its reliability and capability as well as set of tools for two.

[@matdl5472]

@with-Aryan yeah, 3dexp seems like the better option considering you don't have to import meshes, as the organic geometry is solid.

Hi, I would consider myself as somewhere between intermediate & expert at CAD modeling (SOLIDWORKS), but I always feel like there are alot of features that I still don't understand in SOLIDWORKS or haven't explored yet. What would be a good way to fill those gaps? Very informative video btw, when I first started using equation table for a project, it was a huge time saver, managed to do 4-5 versions within a day & generate the cost of manufacturing for each of them.

[@anasassi1661]

Hi i am a new graduate mechanical engineer... how can we generate the costs for our designs in solidworks?

[@with-Aryan]

Good day, coming to estimating cost, it is going to come to identifying key features in your model and then using basic arithmetic. E.g. A 3d printing facility, can roughly estimate cost by providing a cost/gram of material used, or cost linked to total volume of the component. E.g. 2 A surface treatment facility can provide quotes based on total surface area, SOLIDWORKS can calculate that instantly and thus can help speed up the process. E.g. 3 SOLIDWORKS can instantly create a cutlist and Bill of Materials of real world structural steel, which can then be taken to a steel vendor for a cost estimate for the first time, post that Excel can handle this workload once you know all of the overheads that apply in your state.

As an mechanical design & manufacturing engineer student, during an intern semester, I was the only mechanical in my department and I would be that go to guy and have a few edges that my co interns would come to me for. I would be helpful and answer the questions they had using solidworks, 3d printing, materials & different types of manufacturing processes. I soon realized they picked up and they would jump in to help others as if they were the experts or if they were mechanicals. Any advice on how to be a team player without giving your edge away?

[@with-Aryan]

just help them out. it's not giving your edge away, it's exactly what you need to do
