2D Shop Drawings

• 2D shop drawings are indispensable to any industry producing parts of even basic complexity
• These drawings contain all the information required to manufacture a part; they are the DNA of parts, almost always stored on a computer and frequently printed out on large drawing sheets
• TMG has the capability to generate these drawings based on sketches, legacy CAD drawings or even the physical parts themselves.

In all probability, TMG already has 2D shop drawing experience in your domain. Our work to date has covered several industries, including but not limited to:

• Capital goods
• Electrical
• Marine
• Automotive
• Architectural millwork and cabinetry
• Furniture

Materials

TMG has created shop drawings for objects made in a variety of materials including metal, wood, stone and plastic.

A typical shop drawing done by TMG depicts several views of the part, each from a different angle, and each annotated with critical dimensions, along with information on surface finishes, tolerances and material specifications.

In the event the shop drawing relates to an assembly (like a folding table), the shop drawing will include an assembly drawing.

TMG usually creates the part in 3D since this results in greater accuracy in the 2D shop drawings described above.

• Receive input information (sketches, old drawings or physical part) from client
• Ascertain from client which CAD platform he prefers TMG use plus drafting styles
• Conduct internal review of input information for completeness
• Request and receive missing information from client
• Agree on price, terms and delivery time
• Commence work, sending progress files and queries every two days
• Conduct executive management review once a week
• Hold videoconferece review with client every ten days
• Complete and deliver 2D shop drawings
