(9th Edition)
By Thomas P. Olivo
Develop skills in reading and interpreting industrial drawings and preparing simple technical sketches. Updated to the latest ANSI, ISO, AWS, and ASME standards, this newly revised 9th edition is written to be a consumable, interactive text/workbook. It provides basic principles, concepts, and terminology; manufacturing process notes; ANSI and SI Metric drafting symbols and standards, and other related technical information contained on a mechanical or CAD drawing. The 9th edition also includes a unit on projection lines, other line types, and line combinations, interchangeable parts, allowances, and classes of fit. This fills a previous void of how to get from a detail drawing to an assembly drawing. It also shows how to dimension mating parts not needing GD&T. Another unit talks about surface development and precision sheet metal drawing. Each unit features a basic principle, at least one blueprint, and an assignment that encourages users to practice newly learned skills.
