2. ABSTRACT :-
This abstract describes a 3D model of a nut and bolt, created using AutoCAD. The
model's goal is to provide a detailed and precise digital representation of these
essential mechanical components commonly used across industries. Utilizing
AutoCAD's advanced drafting and modeling tools, the process includes accurate
measurement and construction of individual components, such as the threaded shaft,
head, and nut body. The model adheres strictly to engineering standards, ensuring
practicality in real-world applications. Virtual testing validates mechanical properties
and structural integrity under varying loads and stresses. The 3D model serves as a
valuable visualization, simulation, and prototyping tool, enhancing engineering
efficiency and reliability.

3. INTRODUCTION :-
A bolt is a cylindrical fastener with a threaded shaft and a head at one end. The head is typically
hexagonal or square-shaped, and it provides a gripping surface for a wrench or a socket. The threaded
shaft is the part of the bolt that screws into a matching threaded hole to secure two or more objects
together.
A nut is a small, hexagonal or square-shaped fastener with a threaded hole in the center. It is used in
combination with a bolt to fasten two or more objectstogether. The nut is placed on the threaded shaft
of the bolt and tightened with a wrench or a socket to secure the objects in place.
 The threads on a bolt and a nut are a series of grooves or ridges that are cut into the surface of the
shaft or the hole. The threads are designed to interlock with each other when the bolt is screwed into
the nut, creating a tight, secure fit.
 To create a 3D model of a bolt and nut with threads, you would need to use a 3D modeling software
or a CAD program. These tools allow you to create and manipulate 3D objects and add details such as
threads to your model.

4. PROCEDURE :-
 Open the Auto CAD window.
 Set the required limits and grids.
 By using the F3key (OSNAP command) ,the dialog box will be open and select the endpoint
, midpoint etc.
 By using the F8key, the ortho is ON.
 By using DD CUPS command, the UCS (User Coordinate System) dialog box will be open
and select the required view.
 Draw the different parts of the detailed drawing for the 3D nut and bolts with threads by
using draw and edit commands.
 By using line command, join all parts of detailed drawing.
 By using hatch command, the required portion of drawing was hatched.
