| Drawing for design and communication |
Drawing as the fundamental tool for technical communication, for the engineering design and for the documentation of industrial products. |
1
|
| Technical drawing standards |
Standardization and unification. Main rules for technical drawing: projection methods, views, sections, dimensioning. Tools for technical drawing. |
4
|
| Axonometric and orthographic projections |
Definitions and classification of projections. Parallel projections (orthogonal and oblique axonometric projections)and orthographic projections (Monge method and theory). |
6
|
| Section, intersections and developments of surfaces |
Sections and surfaces of development of prisms, pyramids, cylinders and cones. Intersection of solids and development of surfaces. |
4
|
| Sketcing and dimensioning of mechanical parts |
Sketching criteria of simple mechanical parts. Choice of views and/or sections. Reference systems and dimensioning criteria. Functional dimensioning. |
4
|
| Tolerancing and surface finishing |
Errors in pieces construction. Tolerancing and fit systems. General tolerances. ISO code system for tolerances on linear sizes. Basis of tolerances, deviations and fits. Surface finish and roughness: definitions and symbols. |
4
|
| Examples of standardized components: fasteners |
Kinds of fasteners and their classification |
1
|
| Threads and threaded connections |
Unified thread forms. Threaded fasteners. Representation of threaded elements: screws, nuts, bolts. |
4
|
| Non-threaded connections |
Shaft and hub connections: keys, tapers and pins. |
4
|
| Technical drawings in industrial practice |
The role of drawings in design and product life cycle. Kind of drawing and fundamentals of technical drawings management. |
2
|
| PDM and PLM systems |
Stages of product development and related support technologies. Basic concepts, objectives and advantages of Product Data Management and Product Lifecycle Management systems. |
4
|
| Introduction to computer aided drafting |
The main functions of a 2D CAD system: drawing, editing, display and properties of geometric entities. Criteria for the organization of a technical drawing, scaling and printing. |
6
|
| Exercises |
Ortographic projection from isometric views of simple mechanical parts. Sketches and 2D-CAD drawings must be completed with dimensioning and any other relative notations. The arguments of the exercises will be combined with the theoretical topics covered during the course. |
