and the construction methods.
Determine the true shapes of surfaces from given views.
Solid Geometry
rd
Draw in 3 angle non-sectional and sectional views of the following geometrical solids:
Combinations of the geometrical solids as covered in grade 10. The axis of the solids must still be either perpendicular,
parallel or inclined to one principal plane only.
Determine the true shape of the sectioned surfaces.
Mechanical Drawings
RD
DRAW IN 3 ANGLE ORTHOGRAPHIC PROJECTION
Using the SANS 0111 as a guideline, draw:
Non-sectional, sectional, half sectional and part sectional views of complex assemblies.
Include the following: Hexagonal bolts and nuts and lock nuts, keys and keyways, washers/spacers, dimensioning techniques,
title, scale, cutting planes, hatching, notes and symbol of projection.

90°.
The focus should be on industrial applications.
Developments
Determine the surface development of complex interpenetrations, transition pieces, hoppers and containers.
The focus should be on industrial applications. (seam allowances could be included where relevant)

NSC
LOCI
Helix
Apply the principals of the helix in a civil or mechanical context in complex applications for example: spiral chutes, handrail for
a spiral staircase, coil springs, worms, threads etc.
Emphasis must be placed on the direction.
Cams
Apply the principals of the cam in complex mechanical contexts for example: cams to produce specific movements e.g.
activating switch/lock mechanisms, control inputs/outputs and the change of direction of movement.
The motion could be uniform motion, uniform acceleration and retardation or simple harmonic motion.
Emphasis must be placed on the direction.
The follower can be roller ended or wedge ended.
Mechanisms
Apply the principals of the locus of a point(s) on relevant moving components of mechanisms.

NB: Each of the November examination papers will be set out of 200 marks which will then be converted to a mark out of 100.
The assessment at grade 12 level is separated into two, via internal assessment and external assessment. Together they count 400 marks. The internal assessment is made up of
30 marks for tests, which is 7,5% of the assessment, 30 marks for tasks (which includes 2 assignments), which is 7,5% of the assessment, and 40 marks for the mid year and
preparatory examinations which makes up 10% of the assessment. The external assessment is made up of a practical assessment task, which is made up of 50 marks for the
design process, which is 12, 5 % of the assessment, and 50 marks for the CAD/presentation drawings, which is 12, 5% of the assessment, and an external examination, which
counts for 200 marks for the year-end examination, which is 50% of the assessment.
NB: All tasks and assignments should, where possible, integrate LO’s 1, 2, 3 & 4!
