Discusses how to convert vehicle body position drawings to required die positions in various die operations. Explores strip stock development and part clearance-interference conditions.
Goals, Topics, and Objectives
- Descriptive geometry fundamentals including true size of a surface.
- True size surface and development of an angle between two surfaces.
- Constructing true surfaces including constant size flanges and working with compound angles.
- Determining clearance or interference between body components.
- Developing strip stock to join two surfaces at a compound angle.
- Development of an intersection between complex curved surfaces.
- Initial exposure to vehicle body drafting and the concept of vehicle body lines.
Assessment and Requirements
All students will be required to complete a comprehensive final examination that assesses the learning of all course objectives This exam must be weighted in a manner so that the exam score is worth a minimum of fifteen percent of the final course grade. This exam is to be a common exam administered to all sections of TAGD 280.
The student will be required to bring the drafting equipment used in the previous two drafting courses (TAGD 110 and TAGD 120). Modeling clay is also required.
Texts, handouts, and/or workbooks will be determined by the TAE Department.
