This course uses the latest in parametric modeling technology (SolidWorks & Autodesk Inventor) in the study of mechanical drafting, threads and fasteners, detail and assembly drawings, section views, and basic dimensioning and tolerancing techniques. Parametric modeling simulates manufacturing processes, and completed solid models can be easily transferred to production tools such as 3D printers or CNC machines. All drawings will meet the ASME Y14.5M standard.
Prerequisites
None.
Student Learning Outcomes
- Demonstrate the application of drafting standards for detailed drawings.
- Demonstrate the use of correct dimensioning techniques in multi-view drawings.
- Create and print parametric based 3D solid models using a CAD system.
- Create 2D drawings from a 3D parametric solid model.
- Apply screw threads callouts in mechanical drawings.
- Draw screw thread representations such as: detailed, schematic, and simplified.
