 Computer Aided Machine Drawing
• Prerequisites:
 Fundamentals of Engineering Drawing

Basic knowledge of 2 D drafting software ( AutoCAD)

 Orthographic (Multiview) Projections

 Course Objective
• `To understand Parametric Modeling Fundamentals, Procedure,
and "Shape before Size" Approach.
• To develop an ability to Create Parametric 2-D Sketches, and
Create and Edit Parametric Dimensions.
• To develop an ability to Create Solid Models of machine
components. The student should be able to apply these skills to
the solution of a variety of practical problems and be able to
employ their knowledge to solve more complicated problems.
• To develop an ability to Create assembly models of simple
machine (minimum 5 components). The student should be
prepared to continue the study of computer aided machine
drawing through further subjects/projects in further years of
engineering.
• To develop the ability to apply Limits, Fits, and Dimensional
Tolerances, as well as Geometric Tolerances to components and
assemblies on Engineering Drawings.
• To develop an ability to create 2D drawings from 3D models
 Course Outcomes
 learner will be able to–
• Understand the importance of CAD in the light of allied
technologies such as CAM, CAE, FEA, CFD, PLM.
• Understand the significance of parametric technology
and its application in 2D sketching.
• Understand the significance of parametric feature-based
modeling and its application in 3D machine components
modeling.
• Ability to create 3D assemblies that represent static or
dynamic Mechanical Systems.
• Ability to ensure manufacturability and proper assembly
of components and assemblies.
• Ability to communicate between Design and
Manufacturing using 2D drawings.
Technical Graphics
• Technical Graphics helps to communicate the
necessary technical information required for
manufacture and assembly of machine
components.
• These drawings follow rules laid down in
national and International Organizations for
Standards (ISO).
CAD Applications
 Popular CAD Packages
• Creo
• SolidWorks
• Solid Edge
• Catia
• UG
• I-DEAS
• Turbo CAD
 What is CAD?
• Originally CAD includes any techniques that
use computers in the design process including
drafting, stress analysis and motion analysis.

• CAD program/software is an electronic tool

that enables you to make quick and accurate
drawings with the use of a computer.
 What is CAD?
• Computer drawings are neat, clean, highly
presentable, and can be modified easily.

• With CAD, parts or components can be

modeled, visualized, revised, and improve on
the computer screen before any engineering
drawings have been created.
 What is CAD?
• Parts that have been modeled can be
assembled in the virtual environment of the
computer.
• The relative motion of moving parts can be
animated on the computer
• can create a physical model of the part in a
few hours with virtually no human
intervention.
 Capabilities of CAD
1) Presentations
- You can create fine drawings with
presentation symbols and text styles.
2) Flexibility in editing
- CAD provides the flexibility to make quick
alterations to drawings
- Some of the editing capabilities are such
as; move or copy drawing elements,
enlarge or reduce size of a drawing, make
multiple copies of a drawing, change units of
measure and etc.
3. Storage and access of drawings
- It is quick and convenient to organize CAD
drawings. You can have thousands of
drawings on a computer’s hard disk and
you can open any one of them within
seconds.
4. Sharing CAD drawings
- The drawings can be shared by a number of
users, allowing them to coordinate projects
and work as a team.
5.Engineering analysis
- There is a separate category of programs
called CAE that can use CAD drawings for
engineering analysis.
CAD Models
• It contains all of the design information
including geometry, dimensions, tolerances,
materials and manufacturing information.
• The simplest model used in CAD is a 2D model.
This model is essentially the computer
graphics equivalent to an orthographic
projection
CAD Models
• A 3D model is the most general model used in
CAD software. This model is equivalent to an
isometric view
• 2 basic types of 3D models are wire frame and
surface models.
• In a 3D wire frame model, only edges of the
object are represented.
• A 3D surface model defines the object in terms
of surfaces such as plates
