Basic Assembly Modeling Part 2: Mates

SOLIDWORKS Design assembly modeling techniques can dramatically speed up FRC robot development and reduce time spent fixing assembly issues. In Part 2 of this Basic Assembly Modeling series, you'll learn practical methods for placing and constraining components using pre-selected mates, the Mate dialog, and efficient workflows that keep assemblies organized and easy to update. These techniques help teams iterate faster, maintain clean design intent, and confidently integrate mechanisms, supplier CAD, and larger robot assemblies during the pressure of build season. Whether you're a student or mentor building your CAD skills, these assembly fundamentals can help your team spend less time troubleshooting and more time designing. If your FIRST® Robotics team is ready to level up, get free SOLIDWORKS Design software, training, and resources to power your team’s success, and equip your team with professional tools, used by real engineers.
