AUTOCAD is a commercial computer-aided design and drafting sofware application. It was first released in December 1982, it's used across a wide range of industries, by architec, project managers, engineers, graphic designers, and many other professionals. Autocad Electrical is 2D program designed for electrical engineer to creates electronic diagrams, schematics, circuit diagrams and other diagrams.

AutoCad Blocks. Blocks are one of the most important object types in AutoCAD and they are also very frequently used in almost all types of drawings. Dynamic blocks contain rules and restrictions that control the appearance and behavior of a block when it is inserted into a drawing or when it's later modified.

Configuration Settings: The Configuration and Setup for creating and maintaining AutoCad Mechanical template (.dwt) files. This diagram show a high-level configuration flowchart which takes into account the interdependencies of different configuration operations and provides a workflow that applies under most circumstances.

DOCUMENTATION & ENGINEERING CHANGE ORDER

BASIC OF TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION. Documentation is any communicable material that is used to describe, explain or instruct regarding some attributes of an object, system or procedure, such as its parts, assembly, installation, maintenance and use. Documentation, when done successfully, can keep forward momentum in place and keep the team focused. Documentation sets expectations, provides clarity, and creates safety nets. In engineering, technical documentation refers to any type of documentation that describes handling, functionality and architecture of a technical product or a product under development or use.

Engineering Change Order (ECO): Designed to control engineering changes incorporated into the company product lines. It's a document that specifies either new product design details or proposed changes to existing products.

Document Change Request (DCR) is a type of change request used to describe a proposed change to documents (e.g., standard operations, procedures, work instructions). A DCR Form is a formal document that detail the technical change.

Operational Method Sheets (OMS): Operational method sheets are work instructions, detailed operating instructions, which contain the operations of a rate routing, standard routing or an inspection plan can be displayed or printed at a processing station of the production line.

Quality Assurance (QA) is a set of documents provided on paper, or online, or on digital or analog media. This document establishes the minimum requirements for a supplier’s quality system.

Request Tracking System (RTS) is used for obtaining document approvals and for submitting document release Revising Procedures, Work Instructions, etc. (not drawings except for tooling) requests to Document Control. Send an e-mail to Doc Ctrl and request the Source file. Make the changes per engineering request. Available soon!

Design for Manufacture & Assembly (DFMA) is an engineering methodology that focuses on reducing time-to-market and total production costs by prioritizing both the ease of manufacture for the product's parts and the simplified assembly of those parts into the final product. Engineering Ideas Into Reality (DfA).

Designing for Material Handling. Handling objects is a common task; examples are loading and unloading machines, manipulating objects in assembly and inspection, or using hand tools. Material handling (lifting, lowering, carrying, etc.) involves short-distance movement within the confines of a building or between a building and a transportation vehicle.

Gasket or O-Ring? Working on a product that needs air or liquid sealing we basically have two choices: a gasket or an o-ring. But while these two have similar functions, they perform differently based on pressures and design specs. Here’s the difference between the two.

Geometric Characteristics & Their Attributes: There are fourteen geometric characteristic symbols used in the language of GD&T. They are divided in to five categories namely form, orientation, location, runout, and profile. The use of material modifiers, the relationships between material modifiers and fits tolerances.

GD&T Names, Definitions and Terms: Many GD&T terms have very specific meanings. To be able to function, it is important for each GD&T practitioner to be very familiar with these terms. GD&T is used to define how a part feature relates the other part features in the same part or in a mating part; it’s a way to dimension and tolerance with respect to part’s function, the way it works.

METAL FINISHING TECHNIQUES

METAL FINISHING: The term metal finishing covers a wide range processes carried out to modify the surface properties of a metal by deposition of a layer of another metal or polymer or by the formation of an oxide film. Metal finishing is the process of deposition of a layer of the metal on the surface of substrate or the process of conversion of a surface layer of atoms on a metal into an oxide film.

Chemical Processing: A chemical process is a method of changing one or more chemicals or chemical compounds. In manufacturing or an industrial scale, a chemical process is used to change the composition of chemical compounds or materials by using technology.

Metal Finishing or Coating is the process of deposition of a layer of the metal on the surface of substrate or the process of conversion of a surface layer of atoms on a metal into an oxide film.

Powder Coating: Powder coating is a dry finishing process. Powder coatings are based on polymer resin systems, combined with curatives, pigments, leveling agents, flow modifiers, and other additives. A process called electrostatic spray deposition (ESD) is typically used to achieve the application of the powder coating to a metal substrate.
