Manufacturing Drawing Service
Manufacturing drawings form the backbone of any successful production process. At Australian Design & Drafting, we specialise in delivering highly accurate and industry-ready Manufacturing Drawing Services tailored to meet your unique project requirements. With a team of expert CAD drafters and engineers, we ensure that every drawing communicates complete, unambiguous information needed for fabrication and assembly. Whether you are designing a single part or a complex assembly, our detailed drafting solutions help streamline production, reduce errors, and improve overall efficiency.
What Are Manufacturing Drawings?
Manufacturing drawings—also known as Production Drawings or Working Drawings—are technical documents that provide all the essential information required to manufacture a product. These drawings are self-explanatory and include:
- Complete material specifications
- Full dimensional details
- Tolerances (linear, angular, and geometric)
- Welding details
- Surface finish requirements
- Hardware and fastener information
Manufacturing drawings eliminate guesswork. They provide a clear and precise representation of how a product should be fabricated, assembled, inspected, and delivered. While engineering drawings focus on function, manufacturing drawings focus on production. In many organisations, these tasks are handled by separate departments, but in smaller setups, the roles often merge.
Manufacturing drawings generally fall into two key categories:
1. Part / Component Drawings
These drawings focus on individual parts and typically include:
- Material details
- Detailed dimensions with tolerances
- GD&T requirements
- Surface finish types
- Machining instructions
2. Assembly Drawings
Assembly drawings illustrate how parts fit together to form a complete product. They include:
- All components and sub-assemblies
- Hardware lists (bolts, nuts, washers, etc.)
- Bill of Materials (BOM)
- Exploded views and multiple view orientations
- Assembly sequence and instructions
Good manufacturing drawings include all necessary information—no more, no less. Too many dimensions or unnecessary details can slow down production and confuse manufacturers.

What are Manufacturing Drawings?
Manufacturing drawings, also known as production drawings or working drawings, are detailed technical documents that provide all necessary information for the accurate fabrication of a part or assembly. They include dimensions, tolerances, materials, finishes, and assembly instructions.
What is the difference between Engineering Drawings and Manufacturing Drawings?
Engineering drawings focus on the functional intent and overall design of the product, while manufacturing drawings provide the precise details needed to produce it. Manufacturing drawings contain exact specifications, machining details, and tolerances required for fabrication and assembly.
What information do I need to provide to get manufacturing drawings created?
You can provide:
Paper sketches or blueprints
CAD files
Photos
Existing parts
Concept drawings
Technical specifications
Our team will convert these into complete, production-ready drawings.
What formats will the final drawings be delivered in?
We deliver drawings in formats such as PDF, DWG, DXF, STEP, IGES, and other CAD formats based on your requirements.
Do you offer 2D and 3D drawings?
Yes. We provide both 2D manufacturing drawings and 3D CAD models depending on the project’s needs.
