A Brief Introduction to
Engineering Graphics
Opening comments
• Engineering graphics is the method for documenting a
design
• Mechanical engineering students must be familiar with
standards of engineering graphics as it is expected in
industry
• This set of slides introduces some of the basics, but is
not comprehensive
• For more, see
• Engineering Graphics section on the Resources page of the
course ME2011 website

Documenting a part requires...
Engineering drawings
• Universal language
• Conventions (drawing grammar) simplify
communication; your drawing is at risk if you defy
• CAD packages make formal drawing easy…if you
follow the conventions
• The machinist will laugh at you behind your back if
you show up with a non-standard drawing

1. Don’t overdefine or underdefine the object.
[MOST IMPORTANT]
2. Dimension to the visible contour or shape of
the feature / Don’t dimension to hidden lines.
4. Don’t dimension to object lines (model
edges), use extension lines.
5. Don’t overlap a dimension and the model.
Place dimensions away
from the model’s surface.
6. Don’t cross extension lines if possible.
7. Group dimensions when possible unless it
become difficult to read.
8. Place dimensions on the side of the view
were adjacent views exist
(for easy referencing).

TOLERANCES
www.efunda.com/processes/machining/drill_press.cfm
www.efunda.com/processes/machining/drill.cfm
Tolerances
• Matter because parts cannot be made to an exact
dimension
• Must specify dimension tolerance so that every
part A fits every part B
• Higher tolerance = higher cost
• A ½ inch hole made on an ordinary drill press gives
you a hole in the range 0.496 to 0.504 (+/- 0.004).
For higher precision, drill undersize and use a
reamer…but it will cost you more and take longer to
fabricate.
½ inch drill bit: +/- .0040
½ inch reamer: +.0003, -.0000
LEGOS !
• You can combine six 8-stud bricks of the same color 102,981,500 different ways
• 91% of all households with children in Denmark own LEGO products
• During the period 1949-1990, 110,000,000,000 (110 billion) LEGO elements were molded
• Bayer Corporation's Polymers Division is the official supplier of ABS plastic to the LEGO group.
• Exact specifications of the Bayer resin supplied to the LEGO Group are a closely held secret.
• Dimension tolerance of mold is 0.005 mm (0.0002 inch)!

Editor's Notes

  • #1 This set of slides is designed to be read as a graphics resource. Can take excerpts for presentations. Bring: fastener/tools examples,, big real engineering drawing, an object to spin, LEGOs for tolerance section, collection of shafts and holes for tolerancing, See Notes pages 10/2011 Add: Get sample of a real engg dwg from Toro, Tennant. Along with photos of the part. 10/2009 Add: Types of drawings (detail, assembly, exploded view assembly, BOM; see Meyer et al., Technical Graphics, Chapter 9). For required text, consider Technical Graphics, Meyer et al. See lecture notes for OSU course http://www.feh.osu.edu/materials/autumn_2008.htm 10/2007 Add: tolerance stackup; show a part w/ pin mating with a hole…and all the things that could go wrong; offset section. Add features sections. Add material on hole and threading types. Intro: Eng graphics important for meche students to know…but not intellectually demanding. Basics here, details in any eng graphics text.
  • #3 To fully document a part requires all of these What are examples?
  • #4 Graphics is all about how to transmit this info using the conventional language. Buck these conventions at your peril…The machinist will laugh at you and your boss will relegate you to fetching coffee CAD packages automate this. Nobody uses a T-square and pencil any more
  • #5 Views must line up Multi-view is an artifact of the 2-D world. Perhaps in 25 years it will be gone. But for now, you must know This is 3rd angle projection, the “unfolding the box” or “you walk around to the right side”. Rest of world uses 1st angle projection where the right side view would be to the left of the front view. “Roll the object on its edge” or “you stay still and the object rotates”. See Betroline for details.
  • #6 Views must line up Multi-view is an artifact of the 2-D world. Perhaps in 25 years it will be gone. But for now, you must know This is 3rd angle projection, the “unfolding the box” or “you walk around to the right side”. Rest of world uses 1st angle projection where the right side view would be to the left of the front view. “Roll the object on its edge” or “you stay still and the object rotates”. See Betroline for details.

But for now, you must know This is 3rd angle projection, the “unfolding the box” or “you walk around to the right side”. Rest of world uses 1st angle projection where the right side view would be to the left of the front view. “Roll the object on its edge” or “you stay still and the object rotates”. See Betroline for details.
  • #10 Great way to get relegated to making coffee.
  • #11 The “alphabet of lines” ANSI standards for these
  • #12 Show internal features or holes
  • #13 Long-short dashed lines showing lines of symmetry and axes of cylinders and holes
  • #14 Long-short dashed lines showing lines of symmetry and axes of cylinders and holes
  • #15 Be careful when interpreting center lines. Do not assume axial symmetry
  • #17 If circularly symmetric, drawing should tell you. If it is circularly symmetric, only need 2 views.
  • #18 AT least 8 mistakes
  • #19 Top view not on top; inside circle in top view not solid Bottom view not on bottom Hidden line used instead of center line Centerline in right view does not extend beyond part; Right view not aligned correctly More views than necessary No additional info like dimensions, materials, etc.
  • #20 Here’s a 3-D object that has to be represented in a set of 2-D drawings. One must be careful about the conversion.
  • #21 5 mistakes
  • #23 Use sections for showing complex internal shapes where hidden lines would be confusing Slice through the object (the cutting plane) Hatch cut material (exposed surfaces) <…add offset sections…>
  • #24 Now draw this, How many disagree?
  • #25 Now draw this, How many disagree?
  • #26 How many disagree? Bring samples up to front
  • #27 How many disagree? Bring samples up to front
  • #28 How many disagree? Bring samples up to front
  • #29 How many disagree? Bring samples up to front
  • #30 For revolved sections, hole pattern symmetric (convention)
  • #31 Reference: Bertoline, Chapter 4
  • #32 Adds *size* to object W/ CAD, natural part of part creation. W/ traditional drafting, added later Conventions for CHOICE, PLACEMENT Leave nothing to chance. Machinist should not be taking dimensions off your dwg with a ruler
  • #33 Leave nothing to chance. Do not over dimension, do not under dimension
  • #34 Leave nothing to chance. Do not over dimension, do not under dimension
  • #35 Leave nothing to chance. Do not over dimension, do not under dimension
  • #36 B is not standard stock, way more expensive. In same vein, use standard fasteners
  • #37 Browse to materials > metals > aluminum > bar/sheet stock > 6061 > .50” thick > 6” long.
  • #38 If change width to 8 inches, does hole move? Think *carefully* about design intent before picking a dimensioning scheme. With CAD, wrong dimensioning scheme is a major pain to correct.
  • #39 Extension and dimension lines thinner than object lines Dimensions legible but not dominate See Leuptow pp. 52-55 for conventions
  • #41 No gaps when crossing object lines to dimension internal features OK to cross extension lines Pro/E automates this
  • #43 Put dimension on view that shows the circle. Show diameter, unless other considerations dictate radius
  • #44 Highlight holes and notes
  • #45 Reference: Bertoline, Chapter 4. Strongly suggest reading this chapter. Tolerances matter because it is rare that you can sit there and custom fit parts. For modern assembly, every instance of Part A must fit into every instance of Part B or else you will have a problem assembling. It is impossible to make things to an exact dimension. All mfg processes will give you a range about the nominal dimension. The more you pay, the tighter the range. For example, the outside dimensions of a block may not matter so much (tol = 0.1), but the diameter of the hole in that block matters a lot because it receives a press fit bearing (tol = tenths) A ½ inch hole made on an ordinary drill press gives you a hole in the range 0.496 to 0.504 (+/- 0.004). For higher precision, drill undersize and use a reamer…but it will cost you more and take longer to fabricate. Moral: Go with the loosest tolerance you can.
  • #47 For low tolerance, drill undersize and follow with reamer
  • #48 Bayer Corporation's Polymers Division is the official supplier of ABS plastic to the LEGO group. LEGO bricks are one of the most demanding ABS applications Mold tolerance is five thousandths of a millimeter (0.005 mm) or two tenths (0.0002 in.) in English units Most molds are held to 0.001 in. (one thou) in. Lego dimensions are five times more accurate. Molds for LEGO pieces are made in a factory in Germany and two factories in Switzerland Exact specifications of the Bayer resin supplied to the LEGO Group are a closely held secret. ABS resin not only offers (1) tight dimensional stability required for molding to narrow tolerances, (2) flow rate, (3) impact resistance, (4) surface appearance, (5) anti-static properties, (6) no long-term creep, (7) nonflammable, (8) non-toxic.
  • #51 Microphone hot-potato
  • #52 Choice of dimensions from “Design Intent” Reference or “datum” dimensioning compatible with CAM. Here, left edge is a datum. Watch out for tolerance stackup
  • #53 Choice of dimensions from “Design Intent” Reference or “datum” dimensioning compatible with CAM. Here, left edge is a datum. Watch out for tolerance stackup
  • #54 Will this shaft always fit in this hole? What is max/min clearance?
  • #55 “How loose should it be?” Much has been worked out in past. Use it. Consult machinery handbook or drafting handbook for details
  • #57 Smallest hole & largest shaft: 1.0000 – 0.9992 = 0.0008 clearance Largest hole, smallest shaft 1.0012 – 0.9984 = 0.0028 clearance
  • #58 4.250 = good to +/- .001 4.25 = good to +/- .01 4.3 = good to +/- .1
  • #59 A. Punch shape & holes, then bend ===> cheap Press = $100/hr, 200 parts/hr B. Bend then drill ==> expensive $0.50 per hole Work with mfg (even for prototype) to reduce cost
  • #63 Can left side be .995 and right side be 1.005? Can part be .995 at edges and 1.005 in middle and thus not sit flat on a table?
  • #64  Hole location defines an error *square*, but we really want to allow a *circular* deviation Solved by the “Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing System” that allows you to specify design intent. Based on showing nominal dimensions augmented with a notation system for showing design intent for tolerances. More?: See Chapter 6 in Lueptow
  • #65 Ideal position of hole is marked with box; the “true-position dimension”; no +/- notation. Feature control box shows how close hole is to exact; within circular tolerance zone with diameter .01
