Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the learner will be able to:
- Produce industry-standard technical drawings using digital software
- Create a multi-sheet drawing package
- Apply knowledge of tolerances and fit
- Communicate design concepts using sketches and schematics
Teaching and Learning Approach
A combination of theory-based lecture and context-based demonstration, with regular opportunity for hands-on
participation. The content covered in this course will build on theory and knowledge previously covered in DFAB112, Traditional Fabrication Practices.Learning Resources
Required:
None.
Recommended:
None.Detailed Course Content, Topics, and Sequence Covered
1. Review knowledge of technical drawing standards (ASME, ISO) Technical drawing best practices. Introduce Autodesk Fusion 2D drawing workspace. Review and navigate software user interface. Apply simple dimensions, annotations, line types, call outs.
2. Formatting, professionalism, presentation. Adding borders and zones. General notes section. Custom title blocks.
3. Overview of tolerancing and dimensioning standards. Tolerancing representation on 2D drawings. Basic and reference dimensions. Tolerance stack up and implications on manufacturing and assembly. As-designed (digital) versus as-built (physical) parts. Applying tolerance modifiers (user paramaters) in 3D models. Tolerances in 3D printing.
4. Subtractive manufacturing tolerances. Press fit and tolerance classes. Thread, hole, knurled-feature call outs. Color, mateiral, finish specifications.
5. Hand drafting techniques Communicating design concepts
6. Cover pages. Assembly packages. Exploded views using animation workspace. Generating parts lists. Bill of materials (excel). Spec'ing off shelf components and hardware. Budgeting and cost implications.
7. Introduction to photorealistic rendering Communicating design intent Basic Photoshop tools Keyshot software and user interface Color, Material, Finish (CMF).Assessment
