Understanding
Real-World Manufacturing and Mechanical Engineering Drawings With
Step-By-Step Instruction on Interpreting Actual Blueprints
Second Edition
Author: David Madsen
To fully understand the
information found on real-world manufacturing and mechanical
engineering drawings, one must consider important information about
the processes represented, the dimensional and geometric tolerances
specified, and the assembly requirements for those drawings.
This enhanced edition takes a
practical approach to print reading, with fundamental through
advanced coverage that demonstrates industry standards essential for
pursuing careers in the 21st century.
Readers will learn step-by-step
how to interpret actual industry prints while building the knowledge
and skills that will allow them to read complete sets of working
drawings.
Realistic examples,
illustrations, related tests, and print reading problems are based
on real world engineering prints that comply with ANSI, ASME, AWS,
and other related standards.
Features:
- concepts are written and presented with
current computer-aided drafting (CAD) technology standards to
coach users in learning to read complete sets of working drawings
in manufacturing and mechanical engineering
- all illustrative examples and prints are
created using quality CAD that demonstrates the best current
industry standards
- chapter tests are provided for review and
to challenge competencies learned
- perfect balance is achieved between written
text and support documentation, making this an expansive text for
a blueprint reading course, as well as a handy reference resource
