Lesson Content Obtaining Engineering Information obtain

and describe features.

Interpreting Data Sketch a rectangle 60 x 30 Put a Ø20mm hole in the middle. On the RHS put a slot in it 14mm high 17mm

deep. Dimension your component.

Interpreting Data

Interpreting Data With a very simple two dimensional drawing, that

has been correctly dimensioned, we can transmit a lot of information from one source to another.

How would you make this component?

• In groups I want to you to write an operational sequence sheet for how you would manufacture this component.

• Consider how many different types of machine you are going to have to use and in what order they should be used.

• What are the critical features? • What’s your datum?• How can you hold the component?
