Mechanical Drafting
I joined the Drafting & Engineering Graphics Lab at Linn-Benton Community College 3 years ago. Since, I have taken 3 AutoCAD, & 3 SolidWorks drafting courses specifically focused on Mechanical Drafting. Taught by Perry Charmichael, these courses employed current drafting techniques and principals. From this, I created quality Mechanical blueprints of machined parts currently used in today's industry.
Below are some of the Mechanical Drawings I have completed over the past few years. CAD software used in the following drawings: AutoCAD 2011-2013 AutoDesk Inventor 2012-2013, & Solid Works 2012-2013. Enjoy!
AutoCAD 1&2
During my first two semesters of AutoCAD we focused mainly on drafting flat mechanical drawings; both with and without dimensions. Our instructor chose homework that would challenge us on the lesson plans we had just learned in class. Below is a choice selection of my assignments.
Multi Port
Centering Plate
Open Support
L-Joint with tolerances
Rod Brace (Section view)
Cylinder Stop (Auxiliary view)
Dryer Clip (Section view)
Pulley Support (Isometric view) with bill of materials
Rod Holder Assembly
Base with tolerances
Bracket with tolerances
Rod Holder Assembly with bill of materials
AutoCAD 3
My last semesters of AutoCAD, our class was concerned with drafting 3 dimensional mechanical drawings. Below are some of my assignments I completed during my last term of AutoCAD.
Holding Wedge / 3D
Locking Jig / 3D
Rotating Swivel Bracket / 3D
