 The Importance of CAD in
Industrial Biotechnology

• To provide jobs for fresh graduates; space

manager or piping designer.
• To design piping systems and equipments
related to biotechnology field; bioreactor,
autoclave, fermenter, etc.

 Structural Drafting

• Structural drafting:
Technical presentation of the structural
details in the form of drawing.
• Structural drafting design:
Serve all kind of structural drafting in
details together with the structural drawings
works.

 Structural Drawings
• Engineering Design Drawing
Plan view (top view), Elevation view (front view), Bottom
section (bottom view) shows overall dimensions, location and
size of columns, beams, angles, detail of connections, typical
cross sections, various notes.

• Manufacturing (shop or working) Drawing

Detail drawing of all parts of the structure, all dimensions to
the nearest 1/16 “, location of all holes for connections, detail
of the connection parts, required sizes of all materials

• Assembly Drawing
Skeleton assembly drawing showing the relationship of various
parts to be fitted together in the finished structure

Trusses – A truss is a configuration of structural elements
(triangle) that adds strength to a support, bridges and roofs.

Truss members carry tension or compression loads,

no bending.
