Geometry plays a crucial role in the design and production of discrete mechanical goods. In early times artisans “carried geometry in their heads” or relied on physical models and analogues. The rise of mass production and job specialization led to the adoption of engineering drawings as a medium for geometric specification, and recently the advent of computers, NC (numerically controlled) plotters, and CRT displays has led to a growing wave of “computerization” of drafting activities.
