Drawing a Sieve Isometrically - Tips & Tricks

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the challenges of drawing a sieve isometrically, specifically focusing on a simple mesh sieve. Participants explore different approaches to represent the sieve, including isometric and orthographic drawings, within the context of manufacturing drawings.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant seeks guidance on how to draw a simple mesh sieve isometrically and requests tips or links for assistance.
  • Another participant questions the necessity of an isometric drawing, suggesting that a flat, round sieve is easier to draw and inquires about the specific CAD software available.
  • A participant mentions that for manufacturing purposes, orthographic drawings might be more suitable and discusses the relevance of showing only the front view and necessary details for the mesh and edge finishing.
  • There is a suggestion that if using standard off-the-shelf mesh, only the circle may need to be depicted in the drawing.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on the necessity and appropriateness of isometric versus orthographic drawings, indicating that there is no consensus on the best approach for representing the sieve.

Contextual Notes

Participants have not fully resolved the question of whether an isometric drawing is necessary or if orthographic views would suffice, and there are varying opinions on the details that should be included in the manufacturing drawing.

Hi, Id like to figure out how to draw a sieve isometrically. Just a simple mesh sieve would be fine.. No Matter which way I look at it.. I cannot seem to find a way to draw it isometrically, would anyone be able to provide me a link or a useful tip to help me draw it thanks?

Is there a specific shape you have in mind? A flat, round sieve is easy, but there's no particular reason to draw it isometrically. What CAD packages do you have available? Are you looking for an artistic rendering or a manufacturing drawing?

Just a simple flat round sieve is suitable.. I am doing manufacturing drawing, I may just do orthographical drawings for the sieve, Is that suitable do you reckon?

If you're just looking for a manufacturing drawing, the only orthographic view of interest is the front view. And, you need only show a circle, with a detail(s) leading off to show the actual mesh and/or the edge finishing. If you're using a standard off-the-shelf mesh, and you have raw edges, you need only the circle.
