Digital Tutors - Ergonomic Design in SOLIDWORKS

In this SOLIDWORKS tutorial, we'll learn how to design for ergonomics by creating a video game controller.
Our project requires a comfortable grip, which in turn demands organic and undulating shapes to be modeled. To accomplish this, we’ll utilize complex surfacing techniques in order to achieve these organic forms. Advanced surfacing is highly sought after in the product design industry and this tutorial will help build your surfacing skills and make your amazing sketches a reality.
By the end of this SOLIDWORKS training, you’ll have learned how to model complex shapes for products that will produce a pain-free experience for the end user.
