1 Prints: The Language of Industry
1 Prints: The Language of Industry

2 Learning Objectives Identify the importance of prints. Discuss historical processes and technologies related to prints. Identify and define terms related to prints. Explain how prints are produced. Identify two important elements of print reading.

3 Learning Objectives Identify ways in which to care for prints. Identify and discuss options for using prints in an electronic (digital) format. Discuss the role of various organizations in the standardization of drawings.

4 Importance of Print Reading
Drawings are the universal language of industry Engineers, designers, technicians, and skilled workers all use drawings A print is a copy of a drawing

5 Importance of Print Reading
Prints provide the worker with the details of: Size Shape Tolerance Materials used Finish Other special treatments

6 Print Reading and Drafting
Print reading is closely related to the study of drafting Drafting is the field of study that focuses on the creation of technical drawings Blueprint is a term originating from one of the earlier copying processes for technical drawings

7 Print Reading and Drafting
Prints are often called blueprints because early copying processes resulted in a blue background with white lines. Diazo Blue line Wright Brothers Blueprint

8 How Prints Are Made Prints are basically a “hardcopy” of a CAD drawing
CAD systems can create paper drawings using printers and plotters Printers and cartridge-based plotters create raster images Pen-based plotters create vector images

9 Print Reading Elements
Reading a print involves two principal elements: visualization and interpretation Visualization is the ability to “see” the shape of the object based on the various views shown on a print Interpretation is the ability to understand the meanings of the lines, symbols, dimensions, and notes on a print

10 Match the following term to the definition or example that best fits.
Text Matching Match the following term to the definition or example that best fits. Column B A ______ is a large, roll-feed output device for a CAD system. A print can simply be defined as a _____________ of a drawing. The study of print reading is closely related to the study of ______. Column A Copy Plotter Drafting Correct Feedback: Generic: That’s right! You selected the correct response. Customized: Correct! In fact,… Incorrect Feedback: Generic: You did not select the correct response. Customized: Sorry, that’s not it! Try again until you get it correct. Refer to <insert resource> if you need help. Track in Blackboard: Yes or No Points Possible (if tracking): 1

11 Care of Prints When working with prints, observe these rules:
Never write on a print Keep prints clean Be careful when folding and unfolding prints Do not lay sharp tools and parts on a print Use care when folding and unfolding prints

12 Electronic Formats for Drawings
Electronic formats are available that enhance the ability to share prints without sharing the actual CAD data Portable document format (PDF) is a file format from Adobe and very common Design web format (DWF) is a file format from Autodesk and common in environments that use AutoCAD and other Autodesk products Free viewers are available for both formats

13 Standards for Industrial Prints
A standard is a voluntary guideline The standardization of engineering drawings for prints has long been established through the American Society for Mechanical Engineers (ASME)

14 Standards for Industrial Prints
ASME - The American Society for Mechanical Engineers (ASME) is the professional organization that authors and publishes engineering standards related to industrial prints. ANSI - The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) is the umbrella organization that serves as an overseeing body for numerous American standards. ISO - The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an organization that provides over 18,000 standards on a variety of subjects in the international and global arena

15 Quick Quiz List two sheet materials that have been primary media for original drawings: ____________ and _____________. The two principle elements of print reading are _________ and ______. List three of the organizations that provide guidelines for engineering drawing standards. ___________, ____________ and ________. List two sheet materials that have been primary media for original drawings: vellum and plastic film. The two principle elements of print reading are visualization and interpretation. List three of the organizations that provide guidelines for engineering drawing standards. ASME, ANSI and ISO.

16 Multiple Choice List two sheet materials that have been primary media for original drawings: _________ and _____________. ANSI Vellum Visualization ASME Interpretation ISO Plastic film Answers: Vellum, Plastic Film Correct Feedback: Generic: That’s right! You selected the correct response. Customized: Correct! In fact,… Incorrect Feedback: Generic: You did not select the correct response. Customized: Sorry, that’s not it! Try again until you get it correct. Refer to <insert resource> if you need help. Customized by Choice: That’s not it! This sounds more like… Track in Blackboard: Yes or No Points Possible (if tracking): 1

17 Multiple Choice 2. The two principle elements of print reading are _________ and ______. ANSI Vellum Visualization ASME Interpretation ISO Plastic film Answers: visualization, Interpretation Correct Feedback: Generic: That’s right! You selected the correct response. Customized: Correct! In fact,… Incorrect Feedback: Generic: You did not select the correct response. Customized: Sorry, that’s not it! Try again until you get it correct. Refer to <insert resource> if you need help. Customized by Choice: That’s not it! This sounds more like… Track in Blackboard: Yes or No Points Possible (if tracking): 1

18 MultipleChoice 3. List three of the organizations that provide guidelines for engineering drawing standards. ___________, ____________ and ________. ANSI Vellum Visualization ASME Interpretation ISO Plastic film Answers: ANSI, ASME, ISO Correct Feedback: Generic: That’s right! You selected the correct response. Customized: Correct! In fact,… Incorrect Feedback: Generic: You did not select the correct response. Customized: Sorry, that’s not it! Try again until you get it correct. Refer to <insert resource> if you need help. Customized by Choice: That’s not it! This sounds more like… Track in Blackboard: Yes or No Points Possible (if tracking): 1
