Tips and Tricks - SOLIDWORKS Weldments and 3D Sketches

July 08, 2025 10:00 AM America/New_York

SOLIDWORKS Weldments and structure systems are great tools when designing something that uses standard or repeating extrusion profiles. In these systems, you do not need to create individual parts, mates, or assemblies. Both 3D sketches and extrusion profiles drive structure systems and weldment designs to create a full frame or structure in as few steps as possible. Using these tools allows you to be fast, flexible, and accurate when designing anything from an extrusion profile.

Join TriMech Solution Consultant, Ryan Burgess, for a review of using SOLIDWORKS Weldments and structure systems. We will look at what applications this tool is suited for and how it can streamline work for designs using standard extrusions. The webinar will review how structure systems use 3D sketches, connection elements, as well as custom profiles. In addition to designing for metal extrusions, we will look at other possible applications of the weldments & structure tools.

In this SOLIDWORKS Weldments and 3D Sketches webinar, you will learn:

  • Reviewing what weldments are and how to use them

  • Leveraging connection elements in structure systems

  • Creating 3D sketches

  • Making custom profiles for structural members

  • Real-world SOLIDWORKS weldment applications
