What are Manufacturing Drawings?
At Restoric® Design, our manufacturing drawings translate complex mechanical designs into clear, production-ready documentation. These typically consist of part drawings, which define the specifications for individual components, and assembly drawings, which show how those parts fit and function together.
Each drawing includes essential details such as dimensions, tolerances, materials, surface finishes, and assembly instructions. Developed in line with industry standards, our drawings provide the technical accuracy needed for seamless fabrication, reduced rework, and consistent product quality. Whether you’re building a prototype or moving into full-scale production, we deliver the clarity that turns design into reality.
Information Required for Manufacturing Drawings
3D CAD Model or Design Concept
- A solid model of the part or assembly (STEP, IGES, or native CAD file).
- If no model is available, sketches or detailed descriptions can be used as a starting point.
- Physical Part. At Restoric® we can produce a 3D Model from a supplied part by Reverse Engineering the product.
Material Specifications
- Type of material (e.g., aluminum 6061, stainless steel 304, ABS plastic).
- Special treatments (e.g., heat treatment, anodising, coating).
Dimensional Requirements
- Critical dimensions that affect fit, form, and function.
- General size tolerances and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) if applicable.
Assembly Information (for assemblies)
- Exploded views, fastening methods, sequence of assembly, and bill of materials (BOM).
Tolerances
- Default and critical tolerances based on function, mating parts, or industry standards.
Surface Finish Requirements
- Machining finish, painting, powder coating, or polishing details.
Manufacturing Processes
- Indicate specific processes (e.g., CNC machining, injection molding, laser cutting) if relevant.

Part Component Drawings at Restoric Design
Part component drawings are highly detailed technical drawings that define the specifications, dimensions, and tolerances of individual parts used in mechanical assemblies. These drawings are essential for ensuring that each component meets the precise requirements for function, fit, and durability. At Restoric Design, we use SolidWorks to create 2D and 3D part component drawings that capture all necessary details, from critical dimensions and material properties to surface finishes and tolerance specifications. Our team works closely with clients to ensure that each part is accurately represented, meeting both design intent and industry standards.
With SolidWorks, we produce part component drawings that are both accurate and comprehensive, offering features like sectional views, detailed callouts, and precise measurements for easy interpretation by manufacturers. These drawings can also include tolerance annotations and GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) to specify the allowable variations in part features, ensuring consistency in production. Additionally, we provide material specifications and finish requirements to ensure parts are manufactured to the correct standards. At Restoric Design, our part component drawings are designed to provide clarity, improve manufacturability, and reduce errors during production, helping to turn your concepts into high-quality, precision-engineered parts.

Assembly manufacturing drawings are vital tools that illustrate how various components of a product are assembled into a finished unit. These drawings provide the detailed, step-by-step instructions necessary for the accurate assembly, testing, and installation of mechanical systems. At Restoric Design, we leverage SolidWorks, a leading 3D CAD software, to create highly detailed assembly drawings that encompass all critical design and manufacturing specifications. Our assembly drawings ensure precise alignment, tolerance details, and material specifications, minimizing errors during the manufacturing process. Whether the project involves complex machinery or simpler mechanical systems, we create comprehensive drawings that streamline production and enhance assembly efficiency.
Utilising SolidWorks, we can generate exploded views that provide a clear, easy-to-understand representation of how parts fit together, aiding in both the assembly and disassembly processes. These exploded views visually depict the sequence and orientation of components, offering valuable insight for assembly workers or maintenance teams. Additionally, we include a Bill of Materials (BOM), which lists all components, materials, and quantities needed for the assembly. The BOM serves as a crucial reference for procurement and inventory management, ensuring that every necessary part is available and accurately accounted for. At Restoric Design, our assembly drawings combine technical precision with a user-friendly layout to support a seamless transition from design to production.

Electrical Schematic Drawings
Electrical schematic drawings are detailed, standardised diagrams that visually represent the electrical connections, components, and functions within a system. Unlike wiring diagrams, which focus on physical layout, schematics emphasize the logic and relationships between components, using internationally recognized symbols to depict elements such as switches, relays, circuit breakers, and power sources.
At Restoric® Design, we specialise in producing high-precision electrical schematics tailored to each client’s specifications. Using industry-standard CAD tools and adhering to relevant standards such as IEC and IEEE, our team transforms technical requirements and system data into clear, accurate drawings. These schematics support safe installation, efficient maintenance, and regulatory compliance across a wide range of engineering and infrastructure projects.
Mechanical Schematic Drawings
Mechanical schematic drawings are symbolic representations that illustrate the functional operation of mechanical systems without showing physical layout. These drawings are essential for understanding the flow and interaction of components such as pumps, valves, ductwork, fans, heat exchangers, and control elements within systems like HVAC, plumbing, and other building services.
At Restori® Design, we produce precise mechanical schematics that support the design, coordination, and maintenance of complex mechanical infrastructure. Using industry-standard CAD tools and aligned with relevant standards such as ISO 1219, our schematics provide clear, accurate documentation for engineers, consultants, and contractors. Whether for new construction, refurbishment, or compliance, our drawings enable efficient system planning and performance verification

What are Manufacturing Drawings?
Manufacturing Drawings are detailed technical documents used to communicate the specifications, dimensions, materials, and assembly instructions for manufacturing a product or component. These drawings serve as a guide for manufacturers, ensuring that parts or assemblies are produced according to the precise design specifications. They provide essential information on the part’s geometry, tolerances, surface finishes, and assembly methods to ensure that every element is created correctly and meets functional requirements.
Manufacturing drawings typically include a variety of views (such as top, front, and side views), detailed dimensions, material specifications, and notes that clarify design intent. They can also include additional details like Bill of Materials (BOM), tolerance annotations, sectional views, and exploded views to provide a comprehensive understanding of how each part or assembly should be produced. The purpose of manufacturing drawings is to eliminate ambiguity and ensure that the final product is made to the exact standards required for performance, durability, and safety.
What Software is used to produce Manufacturing Drawings?
Manufacturing drawings were once created by hand, with draftsmen using drawing boards and traditional tools. This process evolved with the introduction of 2D computer-aided design (CAD) software like AutoCAD, which greatly improved efficiency and precision.
Today, manufacturing drawings are primarily based on 3D CAD models, which allow for a more detailed and accurate representation of parts and assemblies. These models are created using advanced software such as SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Inventor, CATIA, and Siemens NX. This transition to 3D CAD enables better visualisation, easier modifications, and the ability to generate multiple views and detailed drawings directly from the 3D model, streamlining the design and manufacturing process.
