Drafters Drafters Drafters make detailed drawings used in manufacturing and construction. These sketches are based on ideas and sketches from engineers, surveyors, architects, and scientists.
Drafters prepare technical drawings.
These are followed by production and construction workers to build everything from manufactured products to office buildings to oil pipelines. They take rough drawings and calculations, and turn them into sketches or scale drawings. Their drawings show the technical details of the products and structures from all sides. These drawings include exact dimensions, specific materials to be used, and procedures to be followed. They may calculate the strength, quality, quantity, and cost of materials.
