Consumer products, plastic housings, bottles, handles, automotive trims and ergonomic parts often have smooth, flowing shapes that cannot be built easily with basic solid features. SOLIDWORKS surfacing tools let designers control these shapes with curves and surfaces, then turn them into solid parts ready for manufacturing.
This 20-hour add-on course teaches you how to plan a surface model and build it reliably. You work with 3D sketches, projected, composite and split curves, then create extruded, revolved, swept, lofted, boundary and filled surfaces. You learn to knit, trim, extend, offset and thicken surfaces, repair faces with Delete Face and Replace Face, and check quality with zebra stripes and curvature analysis. Each topic is practised hands-on on the software through product-style exercises, in the classroom at a CADD centre or in live online classes.
Surfacing skills are valued in product design, consumer goods, plastics and automotive styling. After this course, the SolidWorks Mold Design module is a natural next step.

Surfacing means modeling zero-thickness surfaces to control complex shapes, then joining and thickening them into solids. It is used for plastic housings, bottles, handles and other freeform products.
SolidWorks users with good part modeling skills can join, such as product design students and design engineers. The course does not teach basic SolidWorks, so a first course is needed.
The surfacing course is a 20-hour add-on that covers curves, surface features, surface editing, conversion to solids and surface quality analysis.
Yes. Besides classroom training at CADD centres, SolidWorks Surfacing runs as live online classes in which the trainer demonstrates each surface and checks your models on screen.
On completing SolidWorks Surfacing you are awarded a CADD Training Centre certificate. It has its own verification code, so a product design company can look it up on the website.
Surfacing is used in consumer products, plastic parts, home appliances, automotive interiors and medical device design, for roles such as product design engineer and industrial designer.
Use surfaces when a shape needs flowing, curvature-controlled faces or when solid features fail, such as on ergonomic handles or blended housings. For prismatic parts, solid features are usually quicker.
