engineering blueprints
Detailed construction plans
Engineering blueprints are detailed technical drawings that specify how something is to be built or assembled.
Originally produced as white lines on blue paper through a photochemical process, the term now applies to any precise technical diagram regardless of color: The engineering blueprints showed every weld point and tolerance.
They include dimensions, materials, and assembly instructions that guide fabrication.
