3D Mechanical Drafting:

Mechanical drawing is a type of technical drawing which shows information about mechanical systems like heating, ventilation and air conditioning. Technical drawing, also called "drafting," is a particular form of drawing used by designers, architects and engineers. There are a number of standards and conventions for technical drawing, as technical drawings are meant to show information and are interpreted as such. Elements like layout, text, symbols, types of view projections, dimensioning, descriptive geometry and line thickness are all standardized in technical drawing.

Mechanical 3D drafting includes multidimensional operations such as structural drawing from a number of abstract sketches, assembly drawing, digitization of a master drawing, piping diagrams, fabrication drawings and so on. While developing any mechanical component, the most obvious first step is to come up with the initial drafting sheet in a standardized format that can be comprehended by virtually anyone involved in the manufacturing process. Mechanical 3D drafting essentially has to accurately and clearly capture all the geometric features of a product or a component and thus convey all the required information that will allow a manufacturer to produce that component.

Mechanical 3D Drafting include services such as drawing from abstract sketches, paper to CAD Conversions, Image to DWG formats ,mechanical parts and components, assembly drawings, fabrication drawings, piping diagrams, translation to other 3D Software etc. One extension of 3D drafting is 3D wire frame. Each line has to be manually inserted into the drawing. It is now possible to design, present and document an entire design of any size or shape in complete mechanical 3D. Clients get a better visual representation of their design, the plans are more accurate and many designing issues are resolved early by the 3D Mechanical form being created in virtual reality.

There are numerous amounts of drawings that are created in 3D now. Architecture is developed with software that allows the CAD Draftsmen to create walls with the click of a mouse. Also the Drafter can create windows, doors, roofs, and slabs with one command. It’s a little more complicated than that, but you get the idea. They have specific commands made specifically for designing those characteristics within the 3D drawing. The same goes for mechanical parts where you can insert threads for nuts, and bolts. Within Civil drafting programs from Autodesk, you can use Google Earth to view the lot you’re working on. 3D drafting has incorporated all the principles of technical drawing, and has made life a lot easier of Draftsmen.
