Module 2 – Orthographic Projection of Solids
This module focuses on the projection of three-dimensional solids onto two-dimensional planes. Students learn how solids like prisms, pyramids, cylinders, and cones are represented in engineering drawings. The solids are studied in different inclined positions with respect to reference planes. Orthographic projection techniques help in understanding the exact shape and dimensions of objects. The module improves spatial visualization and interpretation skills. It also develops the ability to represent real-world engineering objects accurately. These concepts are very useful in design, manufacturing, and technical drawing applications.
