Mechanical Drawings

Mechanical Drawings are the basis for controlling prototyping and production of your product. They define the specifications of each component, the assemblies, and sub-assemblies in your product. They control the size of each part feature and how the parts fit together. If the parts do not function correctly or do not fit together, there may be a problem with the parts or the assemblies. Mechanical drawings can confirm that parts and/or assemblies are correct or incorrect.

When you order parts from a manufacturer, it is their responsibility to provide you with parts that match the specs in the mechanical drawings. If the part does not match the mechanical drawings, it is not what you ordered and not your responsibility for paying for that order. The mechanical drawings of your product become the legal document in your agreement to purchase parts from the manufacturer.
