mechanical drawing
Precise technical sketch
Mechanical drawing is the practice of creating precise technical illustrations of objects, machines, or structures, typically using standardized methods and tools like T-squares, compasses, and drafting tables.
The term covers both the discipline and the drawings themselves: The engineer submitted mechanical drawings for the new valve assembly.
Unlike freehand sketching, mechanical drawing emphasizes exact measurements, scale, and conventional symbols that allow manufacturers to build from the plans.
