Description

Customer fastener drawings and fastener specifications can be hard to understand if you do not have a solid knowledge of blueprint reading. Not knowing how to interpret a drawing detail can delay getting your product quoted, or worse – result in delays in receiving inspection and rejections. 

A good fastener drawing is often the only thing between parts and profits. Stunningly good drawings can help you get and keep business you never had access to before. Don’t let the lack of a drawing hold up your sales opportunities!

This webinar teaches the fundamentals of drafting terminology and will also go deep into examining actual fastener drawings and specifications – the good and the bad. It is moderately technical but appropriate for those with all levels of experience in the fastener industry.

Fastener Blueprints is presented by Carmen Vertullo, owner and founder of Carver Labs.

Thank you to Semblex for sponsoring this webinar.
