How to Write Technical Specifications: a Handbook

Some time ago, we published an article about the importance of writing technical specifications when requesting for a quotation to a checking fixtures manufacturer.

We have considered, however, that this was not enough: even if this article has highlighted how important technical specifications are, we have decided to prepare you a handbook explaining how to write technical specifications for checking fixtures, gauges and CMM fixtures.

This handbook will detail why technical specifications are important , as much to estimate the costs necessary for the production of a checking tool, as to design and manufacture it.

Writing good technical specifications will be the guarantee that the fixture will be made according to the customer’s requirements, which will avoid losses of time – and consequently of money – when designing and manufacturing it; and most of all, it will prevent disagreements the checking fixtures manufacturer and his customer.

Moreover, this handbook will give you the list of all the points that should be included in good technical specifications , as well as a description of each and every one of these points with examples and pictures. You will also be shown the kind of documentation a good checking fixtures manufacturer should provide you with during the fixture production process.
