Description

This course is meant to give a brief introduction to mechanical drawings that an engineer would typically give to a machine or fab shop or create for the mass production environment.

We go over orthographic projection, section views, auxiliary views, dimensioning styles, and geometric tolerances.  In order to learn all of these things, we utilize DraftSight, a free 2D sketch environment created by Dassault Systems.

Who this course is for:

  • STEM students who would like an introduction into mechanical drawings
  • Machinists who want to be able to put drawings from PDF into CAD
  • For those who want to learn 3D modeling but need an introductory course in mechanical drawings
