Exploded view drawings are used by industrial designers, mechanical engineers, and patent attorneys to illustrate all of the parts of a product, and how they are assembled together.

These drawings can be generated from computer models; but drawing an exploded view based on the principles you'll learn in this class is much more efficient and faster to produce, especially in the early stages of product development when you're trying to sell an idea, and there is no 3D CAD data or computer models created yet.

Once you're done with all of the lessons I hope to see your own exploded view in the class discussion so I can provide feedback and help you improve.

Happy sketching!
