Engineering drawing – Technical communication
GUNT DigiSkills 1:
Engineering drawing – Technical communication
This learning project provides an introduction to engineering drawing and the many variants of technical communication. The fundamental basis for spatial imagination is formed by our geometric models. The functional models help you to take the first steps towards technological functions and interrelationships. Digitally supported by access to extensive, digital teaching material in the GUNT Media Center.
The geometric models support the learning process by providing an introduction to technical drawings: from the solid model to the more abstract representation of the three views in a technical drawing.

The functional models are small “machines” or mechanisms. Each model has its own, simple functions. All three mechanisms together show the production of a simple fastening clamp with the steps of cutting, punching and bending.

ISO GPS is the most important standardisation system in technical communication. All standards dealing with the requirements for the geometry of components (workpieces) are a part of it. The Geometrical Product Specification (GPS) is the basis for communication between design, manufacturing and quality assurance.
