A method of technical drawing in which a three-dimensional object is represented on a flat surface using lines parallel to an imaginary axis.
From 'axis' (Latin 'axis') + '-metry' (from Greek 'metron' meaning measure). The term combines the concept of axes with measurement, describing a proportional drawing method.
Axometry revolutionized engineering and architecture because it allows precise 3D visualization on 2D paper without perspective distortion—essentially a mathematical language that freed engineers from artistic perspective and enabled reproducible, scalable designs.
