Step 3 of 8 |
| Before parts can be
checked and measured, they first have to be manufactured. To this end, the
design engineer prepares a technical drawing of the part. This
drawing of the part is called desired geometry or better: Nominal
geometry. |
|
 The technical drawing shows the part from different views, this, for example, being a view of the part from the front. |
|
 In this way, the entire part is usually made up of different standard geometric elements. These geometric elements are called nominal geometric elements. |
