Assembly Drawing
When a product has more than one part, an assembly drawing is necessary to show how the product is assembled when it is finished. It shows someone a general idea about how the finished product is supposed to look.
It is called a working drawing that tells what is made, what material to use, what tolerance is applicable, and other critical information.
The assembly drawing can have as many views as needed to show all the parts.
A sectional view is often included to show the material used for one or more parts and also to show how the final product is assembled.
If any of the parts have an inclined plane, an auxiliary drawing is included somewhere in the plans.
Each part has a circled number that is used in an accompanying table to show critical information needed to manufacture the parts and to assemble the product.
Engineering Design suggests that we use as many kinds of views as necessary to fully document and to show each part of a product, including sectional views to show materials, and auxiliary views for inclined parts.
An assembly drawing is often necessary to provide all the information needed to take an idea from the sketch pad to full production.
The following slides contain all the information you need to answer the questions on the Worksheet and to get started with your own assembly drawings.
