Free SolidWorks 2026 Exercise Files: Engineering Design (SDC)
Original title: Engineering Design with SOLIDWORKS 2026 – Exercise Files
Overview
SDC Publications provides the exercise files for Engineering Design with SOLIDWORKS 2026, the 816-page project-based textbook by David C. Planchard (CSWP). The set includes the parts, assemblies and drawings for the book's machined, plastic and sheet metal projects, together with the files used in the simulation chapters.
The zip is roughly 92.6 MB with .sldprt, .sldasm and .slddrw files and is published as a free download on the book page; click the page's Download File button because the link it generates expires, and no login or purchase is required (only the bonus chapters and 3DEXPERIENCE files need registration). Files are in 2026 format, so SOLIDWORKS 2026 or later is recommended.
