welding.
- Clay, Ceramics, Glass: Molding, firing, shaping.
- Plastics & Rubber: Molding, extrusion, injection molding.

5. Drawing Practices
a) Isometric Drawing: Represents 3D objects in 2D using 30-degree angles.
b) Oblique Drawing: Simple method to draw 3D objects showing depth.
c) Perspective Drawing: One-point perspective shows depth converging at one vanishing point.
d) Orthographic Projection: 2D representation of 3D objects showing front, top, and side views.
e) Scales & Scale Drawing: Enlargement and reduction of objects using scale ratios.
