Lecture 10 - Mechanical Drawing¶
Date: 9/22/16
Summary¶
We are going to switch gears back to mechanical design for about 2.5 weeks so students will have those skills for their projects. In this class we will show the principles of mechanical drawing so that you can communicate your part design to the machine shop or manufacturer. Good mechanical drawing makes the difference between you getting what you thought you designed and getting something totally different back from the shop.
Class Plan¶
