Introduction of Part Print Analysis

The ideas of product designer are conveyed to those concerned with transforming them into the physical product using part drawings/blueprints/Part Prints. Part prints offer greater information in manufacturing.

The process engineer must study the part print to understand what is wanted in the final product. A detail study of Part drawings for the manufacturing of the part is called as Part Print Analysis. The process engineer must consider the following two important questions in making his preliminary part print analysis:

I. What does the product designer want?

II. What must be done with the information disclosed by the part print to get what is wanted?
