This course introduces learners to the basic principles of geometric development used in engineering and fabrication. You’ll learn how to develop patterns for simple and complex 3D shapes such as cylinders, cones, prisms, and transitions using drawing tools and layout techniques. The course focuses on hands-on methods to transfer dimensions from technical drawings to materials, helping you create accurate flat patterns for cutting and fabrication.

You will also explore how to mark out materials, calculate allowances, and check for accuracy, making sure the patterns are ready for assembly. Suitable for apprentices, engineering students, and anyone working with sheet metal or design, this course builds your confidence in planning and developing patterns for real-world applications.
