The 15th edition of Giesecke’s, Technical Drawing and Engineering Graphics is a comprehensive introduction and detailed reference for creating 3D models and 2D documentation drawings. Expanding on its reputation as a trusted reference, this edition expands on the role that the 3D CAD database plays in design and documentation. The text maintains its excellent integration of illustrations with text and consistent navigational features to make it easy to find and look up important information.
  • Visually oriented students can quickly locate content by navigating these consistent chapter features
  • An attention-getting chapter-opening Splash Spread interests students and sets the context for the chapter content that follows
  • Applicable references to standards are at the beginning of each chapter
  • An introductory Foundations section, set off by a topic heading tab at the top of the page for easy navigation, covers the drawing topic’s usage and importance, visualisation tips, and theory related to the drawing techniques
  • Detail Sections offer a “brass tacks” part of the book, where detailed explanations of drawing techniques, variations, and examples are organised into quick-read sections, each numbered for quick reference in the detailed Contents
  • CAD at Work Sections include tips related to using the 2D or 3D CAD model to generate drawings
  • Portfolio Sections offer examples of finished drawings that wrap up the chapter by showing real-world application of the chapter topics
  • Set in bold italics on first reference, keywords are summarised at the end of the chapter, along with a Chapter Summary and Review Questions
  • The excellent Giesecke problem sets feature updated exercises, including plastic and sheet metal parts, updated assembly drawings from CAD models, and sketching problems

• Expanded coverage of 3D design and modeling techniques

• Updated to show current ASME standards

• Even more examples of plastic and sheet metal parts

• CAD coverage focusing on issues that arise in modeling and documenting designs

• Civil and architectural drawing examples, as well as machine parts

• Full color illustrations distinguish explanations from the annotations that are part of a technical drawing

• Consistent color use in illustrations helps readers understand drawings (e.g. cutting planes are always blue, folding lines are always tan, etc.)

• Illustrations are integrated closely with text (no page turning to find the figure)

• Step by Step explanations: Easily understood instructions with illustrations right next to each step walk readers through complex constructions

• Color photos and examples show inspiring real-world applications

• Full color solid models help readers visualize and understand orthographic projections
