Technical Drawing

Objectives

  1. To apply the rules of Technical Drawing in order to achieve the graphical representation of mechanical components.
  2. To read and execute orthogonal projections and to draw them either by using a computer aided design software (CAD 2D) or by free-hand.
  3. To understand the rules of Technical Drawing in order to draw axonometric projections (perspectives).
  4. To understand the rules of Technical Drawing in order to draw assemblages of components.
  5. To be capable to model and to assemble non-complex tridimensional parts using a Computer-Aided Design software. 
  6. To know how to 3D print the parts modelled.
