Importance of Print Reading Drawings are the universal language of industry Engineers, designers, technicians, and skilled workers all use drawings A print is a copy of a drawing

Importance of Print Reading Prints provide the worker with the details of: Size Shape Tolerance Materials used Finish Other special treatments

Print Reading and Drafting Print reading is closely related to the study of drafting Drafting is the field of study that focuses on the creation of technical drawings Blueprint is a term originating from one of the earlier copying processes for technical drawings

Print Reading and Drafting Prints are often called blueprints because early copying processes resulted in a blue background with white lines.

How Prints Are Made Prints are basically a “hardcopy” of a CAD drawing CAD systems can create paper drawings using printers and plotters Printers and cartridge-based plotters create raster images Pen-based plotters create vector images

Print Reading Elements Reading a print involves two principal elements: visualization and interpretation Visualization is the ability to “see” the shape of the object based on the various views shown on a print Interpretation is the ability to understand the meanings of the lines, symbols, dimensions, and notes on a print

Care of Prints When working with prints, observe these rules: Never write on a print Keep prints clean Be careful when folding and unfolding prints Do not lay sharp tools and parts on a print Use care when folding and unfolding prints

Electronic Formats for Drawings Electronic formats are available that enhance the ability to share prints without sharing the actual CAD data Portable document format (PDF) is a file format from Adobe and very common Design web format (DWF) is a file format from Autodesk and common in environments that use AutoCAD and other Autodesk products Free viewers are available for both formats

Standards for Industrial Prints A standard is a voluntary guideline The standardization of engineering drawings for prints has long been established through the American Society for Mechanical Engineers (ASME)

Standards for Industrial Prints ASME - The American Society for Mechanical Engineers (ASME) is the professional organization that authors and publishes engineering standards related to industrial prints. ANSI - The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) is the umbrella organization that serves as an overseeing body for numerous American standards. ISO - The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an organization that provides over 18,000 standards on a variety of subjects in the international and global arena
