Blueprint Reading
A learned skill... Blueprint reading is a learned skill, not an art, as I've heard some say. Blueprints consist of three primary parts:
Let's take a quick look at each of those primary parts. The Drawing... The drawing is the most important part of blueprint reading. It tells us what the product looks like. Blueprints can have one of three views: orthographic, perspective or isometric. The orthographic print is the most common one used for manufacturing. Another name for an orthographic print is multi-view. The multi-view print allows us to visualize the product three dimensionally in our mind. And, once we master being able to picture the product we will master blueprint reading. The Dimensionsand Tolerences... Dimensions shown on the blueprint define the requirements for fit, form and/or function. The dimensions also include any tolerances that apply to the products features. Variation makes it impossible to duplicate an exact dimension on every product. This is the reason designers give us tolerances. Tolerances allow the features of a product to vary a little from part to part. But, not enough to stop the product from being used. The Notes... The notes on blueprints can cover many things. The designer uses notes to tell us about things that the drawing or dimensions don’t cover. For example, “No burrs”, or “Reference Only”. Notes can be about anything the designer wants to tell the manufacturing and quality assurance departments. Blueprint Reading Training Learn the basics of reading and interpreting blueprints. Interactive workshops help you understand and read blueprints. The students will work with the instructor and other students to gain a better understanding of the issues they see on a daily basis. Some of the things we cover in the class are:
