Drafting Tools

Drafting is a way of representing and communicating information through figures and graphics. It is both a science and an art, and it is usually the first step of projects related to design, architecture, and construction.

Computer-aided drafting (CAD) has become the common practice, and there are now several  drafting equipment  and tools designed to make both CAD and manual drafting even more efficient. These include drafting paper, furniture, drawing guides, and measuring tools. Drafting Paper Ordinary papers won’t do for making blueprints and technical drawings.

In fact, different types of printing papers, films, and canvases are continuously being developed to give businesses and professionals the best print quality they deserve.
