Shapr3D Fundamentals (Part 2): Modeling to Documentation

Take your CAD skills to the next level in Part 2 of the Shapr3D Fundamentals series. Building on the core techniques of sketching and modeling, this course focuses on advanced editing workflows, structural design, and professional documentation for manufacturing.

Following the instruction of Mechanical Engineer Matt Lombard, you will tackle the most complex parts of the motorcycle project, including the gas tank, the structural frame, and the engine assembly. You will learn to leverage Shapr3D’s all-around compatibility to import external parts and manage bottom-up design workflows, ensuring all components fit with engineering precision.

Finish both Shapr3D Fundamentals: From Setup to 3D Modeling and Shapr3D Fundamentals: Complex Modeling to Documentation to get a certificate of completion from Shapr3D.

Key Skills You Will Master:

• Selection-Based Modeling: Utilize the Selection-Based Interface (SBI) to replace menu-searching with a focused, intuitive design process.
• Structural Engineering: Master the “Layout Sketch” technique and Sweep tools to build complex frames, while learning to troubleshoot and resolve geometric errors.
• Assembly & Analysis: Import and align external components, use Section Views and Isolate tools for verification, and calculate precise liquid volume for parts like the gas tank.
• Manufacturing Documentation: Walk through the step-by-step process of creating manufacturing-ready 2D drawings, including view projections, detail views, and tolerances for production handover.

By the end of Part 2, you will have completed the full design cycle—from initial concept and complex assembly to finalized, production-ready documentation.
