Technical Drawing – How to Do It Right!

Technical drawings are documents that graphically present all the necessary information for the production of a single part, an assembly, or a complete product. Reading and understanding as well as creating these drawings are essential tasks for a mechanical engineer and represent a necessary prerequisite in the field of engineering.

The purpose of this textbook is to explain the fundamentals of creating technical drawings and documentation, extending to computer-aided work. Standardization plays a particularly important role, which is addressed accordingly.

The book is primarily aimed at students in the mechanical engineering field at universities, colleges, and technical schools, serving as a companion to lectures and exercises, but it can also be used for self-study.

In the 5th edition, the section on tolerance principles has been updated.
