In the visualization phase, designers initially capture mental images through rough sketches to help conceptualize designs. 3. The communication phase refines initial sketches to clearly convey design solutions to others. This involves adding detail, creating 3D models using CAD software, and sharing designs as intended. 4. The documentation phase transfers 3D models into detailed 2D drawings for manufacturing purposes using techniques like blueprinting or CNC machine codes.

    Introduction to Graphic

    Communication
    KCEC 1101 CAD
    The Important of Graphics in the
    Design Process
    1. Visualization
    2. Communication
    3. Documentation
    First phase: Visualization
    Visualization is the ability to
    mentally picture things that do
    not exist.
    “Most designers will initially
    capture their mental images by
    sketching them on
    paper…they sketches very
    roughly and quickly
    done…when communicating
    one’s sketch to other, the
    sketches must be refine…”

    Design sketch of a vehicle sunshade


    Only experienced users of technical drawings can interpret the various lines, arcs,
    and circles sufficiently to get a clear mental picture of what this part looks like
    three dimensionally
    Visualization phase:
    How the stapler object
    is transform to sketching
    the parts
    Second Phase: Communication
    In this phase the goal is to refine your
    initial sketches so your design
    solution can be communicated to
    others without ambiguity
    You must be able to improve the
    clarity of your graphics to such an
    extent that others are able to
    visualize your design
    “…this is done by adding more
    detail to your sketches, then
    creating a 3-D model using CAD
    software…and then
    communicate with your purpose
    design”
    Third phase: Documentation
    After the design solution is finalized with
    include an any mechanical analysis, the 3D
    modeling is then transfer to documentation
    phase.
    The drawings were
    2D detail drawings
    that were copied
    through a process
    either to:
    1. Blueprinting
    2. CNC generic
    machine codes
    Traditional design process
    “…Work in mind such as
    brainstorming etc…”

    “Collect the conceptual design,


    specification etc…”

    “…refine and solve the problem that becomes


    more clear…”

    “…such as use Finite


    Element
    Analysis…and there
    will repeat until final
    design solution is
    chosen”

    “..it must be documented and recorded in sufficient


    detail for the product to be manufactured..”
    The design process using Concurrent
    Engineering (CE)
    Concurrent engineering gets
    everyone involved in the design
    process, including the customer.

    The overlapping circles indicate


    that designing concurrently is an
    integrated activity involving many
    people

    Advantages of CE
    1. Powerful process that can reduce the design time
    2. Easy to identify or detect the problems
    3. Reduce the design cost
    4. Maximized the resourced
    5. Low risk of high level impact
    CAD database applications

    The CAD database, which is represented as graphics, provides technical


    information not only to the engineers on the design team, but also to the
    manufacturing, marketing and sales, and training departments
    Technical Drawing tools vs. CAD tools
    Schematics representation of
    CAD software
    A CAD system consists of
    hardware devices used in
    combination with specific
    Such as software, as shown in
    keyboard,
    mouse, drawing figure
    pad, etc
    Such as printer,
    projector, CD,
    diskette etc

    The Hardware for a CAD


    system consists of the
    physical devices used to
    support the CAD software
    Pencils Grade
    Angles combination
    Drawing paper size
    The grid lines

    (A) Square grid


    (B) Isometric grid
    (C) Perspective grid
    Technical Sketching
    Methods of creating technical drawing

    Freehand drawings are know as


    sketches and are an important
    communication tool that engineers
    use frequently when designing
    Technical sketching is the process of producing a rough
    preliminary drawing representing the main features of a
    product structure

    Freehand drawings are grouped by the level of detail,


    structure, and restrictions used to create the sketch
    Example of sketching
    technique
    Sketching is used throughout the design process to
    communicate information
    Example of good and poor drawing techniques
    for lines
    Line weight

    Uniform lines do not vary in thickness or darkness


    Sketching a circle
    Poorly drawn circles
    Sketching ellipses
    Step in drawing
    an irregular
    curve through a
    series of points
    Classification
    of sketches
    The sketches shown in B, C,
    and D is called pictorial
    because they represent the
    object as a 3-D form

    The multi-view sketch uses


    multiple flat views of the 3-D
    object to accurately represent
    its form 2-D form
    Step creating a
    proportional sketch
    Step 1: Create a bounding box that
    represents the outer dimensional
    limits

    Step 2: Draw other boxes to


    represent the larger features of the
    object and then continue to others
    smallest feature…

    Step 3: Continues to draw bounding


    boxes until all the feature of the
    object have been represented

    Step 4: When all of the feature have


    been boxed, begin sketching the
    final line-work, which is done
    significantly darker than the
    constructions lines.
    Basic steps used to
    create an isometric
    sketch of an object
    Step 1: Create Isometric axis

    Step 2: Draw 3-axis bounding box


    that represent the outer dimensional
    limits of 3-D feature

    Step 3 & 4: Create the blocking


    plane for front, top and side faces

    Step 5: Adding details to the


    isometric block by estimating the
    dimensions to cut out and mark
    these points as shown in figure

    Step 6: Finalize your sketches


    include all small features

    Step 7: Completed isometric sketch


    Isometric representation of circles

    Circular features appear as ellipses in isometric sketches.


    The orientation of the ellipse is set according to the face on which the circle lies.
    The correct orientation is shown in (A) and examples of in corrections are
    shown in (B)
