CSWA Practice Problem 2.4 – SolidWorks Tutorial for Beginners

In this SolidWorks tutorial, we walk through Practice Problem 2.4 from the CSWA exam guide. Learn how to model a symmetric multi-lobed mounting plate using controlled radii, arc blending, and stepped extrusions with the Extrude Boss workflow. This exercise strengthens your ability to interpret complex arc chains, apply multiple radii correctly, and maintain clean design intent — key CSWA exam skills. 📏 Units: MMGS 🛠 Tools Used: Sketch (Lines, Centerlines, Circles, Arcs) Features: Extrude Boss 🧠 Design Intent: The part’s origin location is indicated in red. The part is symmetric. All sketches are fully-defined. 🎯 Difficulty: Medium ⏱ Estimated Time: 15 minutes 📜 Certification Level: CSWA 📐 Volume confirmation: 42,236 mm³ 🔗 Follow me for more tutorials and engineering content: 📘 Facebook: facebook.com/Sharmkymakerspace 🎵 TikTok: @sharmkymakerspace 🌐 All my links: campsite.bio/sharmkymakerspace ❤️ Want to support my content and future projects? 👉 patreon.com/Sharmky
