Standard reference drawings free with every 3D model. Production-ready GD&T drawings per ASME Y14.5 at a flat $150 per drawing — never hourly.
Two Drawing Types. One Simple Price.
Every drawing engagement is fixed-price. Pick the level of documentation your part actually needs.
Standard Reference Drawing
- Identifies up to 5 key dimensions or features
- Quick validation against your specifications
- Delivered automatically with CAD projects
- No request needed — it's just included
GD&T Production Drawing
- Full GD&T annotations per ASME Y14.5
- Datums, tolerances, and critical callouts
- Ready for outside quoting and inspection
- Fixed rate — easy to budget full drawing sets
Why GD&T Matters
A 3D model shows what a part looks like. A GD&T drawing says what actually matters: which surfaces locate the part, which dimensions are critical, and how much variation each feature can tolerate before it stops working.
That precision pays off when parts leave your building. Machine shops quote tighter and faster when intent is unambiguous, and inspection labs measure against the same language. ASME Y14.5 is that shared language.
Transparent, fixed pricing means you can document a whole assembly without watching a billing clock.
Unambiguous Intent
Datums and feature controls tell every vendor exactly what's critical — no interpretation required.
Faster, Tighter Quotes
Shops price risk. A clear drawing removes it, and your quotes reflect that.
Inspection-Ready
Tolerance callouts give QC a pass/fail standard — the same one your supplier works to.
How It Works
Send Your Model
Upload your CAD file — or have us create the model first via 3D modeling or reverse engineering.
Confirm What's Critical
We align on the features, fits, and tolerances that matter for your application.
We Draft to Y14.5
Datums, tolerances, and callouts drafted per the ASME Y14.5 GD&T standard.
Receive Your Drawing
A production-ready drawing at a flat $150 — ready for any shop or inspection lab.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Every 3D model we deliver includes a complimentary standard reference drawing identifying up to five key dimensions or features — enough to quickly validate the design against your specifications.
A flat $150 per drawing, never hourly. That fixed rate makes drawing packages easy to budget, whether you need one drawing or a full set.
Production-ready drawings follow the ASME Y14.5 GD&T standard — the dimensioning and tolerancing language used by machine shops and inspection labs across the US.
If the part will be quoted by outside shops, inspected against tolerances, or produced repeatedly, GD&T removes ambiguity about what matters and what doesn't. For quick internal validation of a prototype, the free standard drawing is usually enough.
Yes. Send your CAD file through the quote form and we'll produce the drawing from it. If you don't have a model yet, our 3D modeling and reverse engineering services can create one first.
