Has anyone had training in using Solidworks? Is it easy to pick up? Anyone know how much training in at least three basics to blag it cost?
There's a job I'm interested in but I don't have this knowledge but there's a training budget so perhaps still worth going for.
Nothing to do with cycling but there's very knowledgeable and technical people on here so you never know....
Yes, I use SW most days. How well can you answer these questions:
What other CAD / 3D CAD systems have you used?
Have you manufacturing / production skills that are useful and appropriate to the job?
As the interviewer I would ask these to know if you need training in engineering or you need training in using one of the tools of the trade, in this case SW. The latter is unlikely to be a big deal IME.
My opinion is SW is the easiest to transfer into from Inventor / CREO / NX / CATIA / AutoCAD etc
Maybe you don’t have any of those skills but you have CNC programming skills that may be relevant.
I can offer some assistance here.
