Product Part Mapping
Surveying involves the process of creating a representation of physical objects by measuring them.
Surveying and design differ in that surveying involves having the physical object first before drawing the plans; whereas design typically starts with a plan followed by a prototype. If we view design work as the process of conceptualizing a physical object, then surveying can be seen as a process of recognizing and re-creating the physical object. Surveying often requires comprehensive scientific analysis and identification of materials and characteristics for certain parts, sometimes even involving development. Therefore, most surveying work is research-oriented and essentially falls under the category of product development.
Types of Parts Dimensioning
(1) Design Surveying – Surveying for Design. The surveys are conducted to update and modify existing equipment components as needed, often with a focus on designing new products or updating existing ones.
(Two) Mechanical Repair Surveying – Surveying for Repair and Assembly. When parts are damaged and no drawings or materials are available, the damaged parts need to be surveyed for repair and assembly.
测绘 for Copying – Mapping to replicate. To learn from the advanced, to take the strengths and fill the gaps, it is often necessary to map advanced products and manufacture better ones.

Types of Parts Machining
(1) Design Surveying - Surveying for Design. The updates and modifications to existing equipment parts are conducted as needed, often from the perspective of designing new products or updating existing ones.
(II) Reverse Engineering for Reproduction - Surveying for Reproduction. To learn from the advanced and fill in the gaps, it is often necessary to survey advanced products, in order to manufacture better ones.
Drawing of part sketches
Component dimensioning work is often conducted on-site at machinery and equipment locations. Due to the constraints of the conditions, a preliminary sketch of the component is usually drawn first, followed by the preparation of the working drawing based on the sketch. Therefore, a component sketch is far from being a scribble. A sketch drawn by hand is referred to as a sketch, which is an estimate of the shape and size of an object without the aid of drawing tools, relying solely on visual measurement. In discussions of design proposals, technical exchanges, and on-site dimensioning, it is often necessary to quickly produce sketches. The ability to draw sketches by hand is a fundamental skill that engineering and technical personnel must possess.
