THE IMPORTANCE OF MANUFACTURING DRAWINGS IN THE DESIGN PROCESS: A DIDACTIC CONTRIBUTION TO ENGINEERING EDUCATION

Abstract

uring the direct design or reverse engineering process of products and machinery, various geometric and manufacturing information is generated according to the phases or stages of development applied during a project in different subjects. Much of this information is not used or lost and students face various problems when generating manufacturing drawings. This article discusses the importance of manufacturing drawings during the direct design process and its implications for engineering education. To generate the design information, the concept of manufacturing primitive and a classification of the manufacturing drawings that follow the stages of direct design are applied. It is using a case study to show the process of generating and documenting the information. The importance of transmitting knowledge to the student is necessary for their academic and professional training. Using tools that are actually used in industrial practice within their processes. Improving the results of students in their subjects and in academic or professional stays. Currently, this acquired knowledge has also been important in academic exchanges because the same way of working is being implemented worldwide.
