Course Overview
In this course you will learn to use drafting principles and applications in the Metal Fabrication industry. As you work through this course, you will engage in extensive lab work to apply triangulation and parallel line development techniques as well as the alphabet of lines (various kinds of lines) to create templates from blueprints. Parallel line development is a geometrical method of developing flat, two dimensional patterns for cylindrical and rectangular shaped objects. You will also learn the principles of the various types of pattern development.
