Orthographic Projection

Orthographic projection is a method used in technical drawing and engineering to represent a three-dimensional object on a flat surface. It involves projecting views of the object along parallel lines perpendicular to the drawing plane, resulting in two or more 2D images (such as front, top, and side views) that accurately depict the shape and features without distortion. This technique helps designers, engineers, and manufacturers visualize and communicate complex geometries clearly, ensuring precise manufacturing and quality control. Essentially, orthographic projection provides a comprehensive, scaled representation of an object’s dimensions and structure from different perspectives.
