Why a technical drawing?
A verbal description or approximate dimensions lead to errors in production. The technical drawing is the common and precise language between you and the manufacturer. A good technical drawing speeds up the quotation process and makes sample approval easier.
What a technical drawing should contain
- Basic dimensions: head diameter, body diameter, total length, head height
- Tolerances: how much can each dimension deviate? Critical dimensions should be marked
- Material: steel grade, stainless type, or alloy should be specified
- Surface treatment: coating type and thickness (if any)
- Head form: dome, countersunk (with angle), stepped, etc.
- Special notes: hardness requirement, special test request
What if you don’t have a technical drawing?
No problem. If you have a sample, sharing a photo of it and its approximate dimensions may be enough. Our engineering team can examine the sample and create the technical drawing needed for production together with you.
Which file formats?
PDF is the most common and reliable format. If you have CAD files (DWG, DXF, STEP, IGES), they provide more precise information for production. For simple cases, even a hand-drawn dimensioned sketch is enough to start.
The next step
Send your technical drawing or sample photo through the file upload field in our contact form. Our engineering team will evaluate feasibility and share the quotation and sample plan with you.
