To unlock the full potential of SOLIDWORKS, it’s essential to move beyond solids alone and embrace hybrid modeling - the strategic combination of solid features and surfacing tools.

In this video, we explore how surfacing strategies can elevate your SOLID modeling workflows by improving model robustness, simplifying complex geometry, and giving you greater control over design intent. While extrudes, cuts, and sweeps form the foundation of most models, surfacing often provides the flexibility needed to build cleaner, more resilient designs.

What you’ll learn:

• How surface bodies create more robust references that reduce rebuild errors
• Why surfacing simplifies complex transitions and advanced geometry
• Techniques for splitting faces and refining details with precision
• How surfacing can streamline workflows and reduce unnecessary features
