The creation of buildings, airplanes, industrial machines and even furniture all begins in the capable hands of a drafter. Drafters create intricate, detailed technical drawings using information given to them by engineers, scientists or land surveyors to show the dimensions of an object, the materials it will be built with and how it will be built. Once each series of drawings is complete, they are used by production and construction workers to bring the drawing to life.
