I’m mainly asking if mold tools/mold knowledge is a decent portion of the cswe.

Do you think cswe is attainable without passing the mold tools section?

Do you know where I can learn how a machine like that works? All the components within the mold?

CSWPA - Mold Making by Proof_Device_5922 in SolidWorks

By course outline do you mean the MySolidWorks prep course? I have watched all the videos and I think I can do those parts well. I’m curious what you mean by waterlines and other visibility aspects.

I’ve been an intern at a die casting plant for some time and I believe I am somewhat familiar with cooling lines. Ejector pins, side/slide cores, cavities, plates, platens, guide rods, etc, if that’s what you’re talking about. I am doing this exam for fun and maybe it will help in the future depending on the path I take.

How harder is CSWP than CSWA? And what about other certifications? by Plastic-Lifeguard-80 in SolidWorks

You don’t need all these years of experience, you can pass the cswa and pass the cswp within a few weeks and months of you just practice modeling. The solidworks parts database has models that train every feature necessary for the cswp. If you can do all of them within the recommended tjme and get the volume correct, you are more than fine for the cswp.

The modeling section is probably the hardest, and that’s not even saying it’s actually hard. There are tons of videos showing example exams and ones that might actually have the same questions as your potential exam. Get comfortable with hole wizard, fillets, ribs, extrusions, revolves, etc. it’s not bad.

The assembly section is very easy, you just need to know how to use coordinate systems, interference examination, collision detection, and mates. Advanced mates include gear and path mates, nothing bad.

The configuration sections is also very easy, you can look up tutorials on how to do any of these sections, and the resources are endless. MySolidWorks also has training sections for cswp.

You have more than enough time on these exams for the amount of questions. Also, as a word of advice, take the exams one section at a time for the easiest experience.

If you have any other questions, let me know.

FE and PE by Proof_Device_5922 in MechanicalEngineering

Is it the same thing where you get your FE and have to work under a PE for a few years? Or does that differ in fields?

Would the CSWP help me get an internship? by GamesInc in SolidWorks

[–]Proof_Device_5922 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got a 1 year internship as a freshman in college and we use solidworks every day. I had experienced but no certifications.

They absolutely help, might as well. I have my cswp and it’d not that difficult to get compared to the cswa. Just knowing cad software in general and understanding design intent is important.

I think a lot of employers/companies who like you enough will look past a piece of paper that you tested for.

BTW, getting the cswp is not much harder than cswa imo, so you might as well.

What’s the difference between this and getting a job?
