Mechanical drawings are technical illustrations used in engineering and manufacturing to convey all the necessary information to transform a design into a physical product. Coursera's mechanical drawings catalogue trains you to understand and create these detailed diagrams. You'll learn about orthographic projection, isometric views, dimensioning, tolerancing, and symbols used in mechanical drawings. The catalogue will also help you master the use of computer-aided design (CAD) tools to create precise 2D and 3D technical drawings. This skill is essential for engineers, architects, and professionals involved in product design and development.
