Free SolidWorks 2017 Tutorial Parts: FlatPackKit Basics (CMU 16-223)
Original title: Tutorial: SolidWorks Basics – 16-223 Introduction to Physical Computing (FlatPackKit parts)
Overview
Tutorial: SolidWorks Basics is a course page from Carnegie Mellon University's IDeATe course 16-223 Introduction to Physical Computing, written by Garth Zeglin for SolidWorks 2017. It teaches part creation from sketch constraints and dimensions through extrude, and it supplies three ready-made FlatPackKit parts (multi-micro-servo-mount, vertical-flange and grid-plate, each a .SLDPRT) that you combine with the part you model yourself into an assembly.
The three files are direct links on the page (178 KB, 462 KB and 795 KB) and download free with no login; note that the assembly section of the tutorial is marked TBD and was never completed. Good for makers pairing CAD basics with physical-computing hardware.
