Service overview

What this service involves

Calicore develops component layouts, equipment modifications, fixtures, mechanisms, fabrication concepts, and technical drawings from a defined operating need. The first step is identifying the function, interfaces, loads, available space, materials, manufacturing method, and information the final drawing must communicate.

The work can progress from a concept layout through review models and detailed production drawings. Assumptions and open decisions are identified during review so they can be resolved before drawings are released for estimating, fabrication, assembly, or installation.

Step by step

How the process works

The exact scope is matched to the project, but a typical assignment follows these steps.

01
Define the function
We document what the component, fixture, mechanism, or equipment modification must do and where it must connect to existing systems.
02
Collect the design inputs
Loads, operating conditions, available space, interface dimensions, materials, fabrication preferences, project standards, and desired outputs are confirmed.
03
Develop and review the layout
Concepts and coordinated models are reviewed with the client so key decisions and assumptions are resolved before detailed drawings are completed.
04
Prepare the technical drawings
The final package can include parts, assemblies, details, notes, bills of materials, and documented open items for estimating, fabrication, or installation.

Review criteria

What the project team needs from mechanical drafting

Useful design documentation explains the intended function and the physical information needed to make, assemble, or install the work.

Defined functional requirements and operating constraints
Confirmed interfaces, envelope dimensions, materials, and fabrication approach
Coordinated parts and assemblies with clear revision status
Documented assumptions and decisions that still require client, supplier, or field confirmation
