Computer Aided Machine Drawing Lab

Machine drawing is a pictorial representation of machine or machine components or the part of a product which provides outline/inline detail of a product including how it is going to manufacture with certain rules. The machining symbols, tolerances, bill of material, dimensions etc are notified in that drawing. This drawing is the way of communication between you and the worker/designer/customer/manufacturer/engineer to get the desirable outcome in an efficient way. For creating the machine drawing, the students can use the different modelling software like CATIA, SOLID work, UG etc.
