The book Technical Drawing provides a comprehensive overview of standardized technical drawing, descriptive geometry, principles of technical design, and geometric product specifications. This work, which is regularly updated and reissued, has for decades accompanied apprentices, vocational school students, and university students as a reputable educational book. Additionally, for professional technicians, engineers, and designers, it serves as a valuable technical manual.

New features of the 38th edition: In the current edition, the content has been updated and expanded based on new standards. Specifically: the new dimensioning standard is presented, the possibility of specifying transitions between sections is examined, material conditions for optimizing tolerances are covered, reference relationships are described, and a preview of the expected new standards for general tolerances is provided.
