Abstract


Machine design and equipment building has come to stay with man, and relevant technologies involved in the actualization of daunting tasks of machine design can only diversify in scope. This communication focuses on beaming light on functional engineering drawing as an essential means of technical communication in machine elements design, equipment design, and design implementation protocols via computer-aided design (CAD) technology; and by extension, the paper serves as a regimented scheme for the organization of most mechanical and mechatronics systems designs along with their CAD model outputs, offering valuable insight into generic design documentation of mechanical plants and sophisticated systems. Proficiency in handling CAD tools and its significance in research and development of creative technological outputs are summarily underscored as a factor which has the capacity of unlocking innovative potentials of engineering personnel that would drive accelerated technological leaps for improved and sustainable national development. In this contribution, a review of the varied classes of design is presented; criticality of 3D solid modeling is expounded; elements and key features of quality machine drawing are adumbrated; and a guideline that fosters clarity of machine configuration is marshaled out with illustrative scenarios.

 

KEYWORDS: 3D modeling, CAD, Machine building, Machine design, Working drawing.
