Phone holder Isometric | Orthographic | Assembly

In this document, I show how I 

a) Draw an isometric drawing of a phone holder. Label the parts and use the references in a Material List.


b) Use an overlay over the isometric drawing drawn in (a) to draw an assembly (exploded) drawing. I roughly marked the key points on the overlay and then rule them over to finish.


c) Draw a First Angle Orthographic Projection of the Phone Holder.


Note: It is actually easier to complete the First Angle Orthographic Projection first. You can then use the dimensions to draw on an isometric surface for the top profile. Use of the grid method is another convenient alternative. In this example I drew the isometric drawing first.

  1. The discussion of phone holder designs in this post underscores the importance of both functionality and style, which is perfectly captured by the Kerf wood iPhone case. Crafted from sustainable materials, this case offers more than just protection; it brings a natural elegance to tech accessories. Its distinct wood grain and sleek design make it a standout choice for those who value fashion and individuality. Just as detailed design techniques like isometric and orthographic projections are crucial, the Kerf case embodies the perfect blend of aesthetics and practicality.
