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. Over the years, the methods of drafting have changed in a myriad of ways. 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. For this reason, there are now specially designed papers that have the necessary durability for manual drawing as well as printing outputs from a CAD program. For instance,  Dietzgen drafting papers  come in several types, such as CAD paper, CAD InkJet paper, tinted and translucent engineering bond, coated and uncoated engineering bond, plot

Print Media

Print media is one of the oldest yet timeless means of communicating ideas, especially in the fields of education and advertising. Today, almost every business and organization uses printed materials to share their work, market their products or services, and spread news and events worthy of being published. Along with CAD programs, print media has also changed the way that AEC professionals work with designs and blueprints. From traditional drawings sketched on rolls of paper, professionals now have the option of creating their technical drawings on a computer and then printing their work on either a regular-sized or enlarged paper. Without a doubt, print media supplies will never be outdated. 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. Standard Prints For standard printing needs, bond papers are the best options available. They’re also some of the
