Mechanical Drafting

Mechanical drafting is the process of creating detailed drawings and plans for machines, tools, and mechanical components. These drawings convey precise specifications, dimensions, and materials needed for manufacturing. Utilizing standardized symbols and notations, mechanical draftsmen or engineers communicate complex designs clearly, ensuring that manufacturers can produce parts accurately. The drawings may be created by hand or with computer-aided design (CAD) software, and they serve as essential blueprints in engineering and manufacturing, helping to translate ideas into tangible products.
