Training Aids for MP Drafting

3D Printed training aids can serve as light weight, cost-effective ways of demonstrating functionality of tools and systems.

MP Drafting and Design is a trusted window drafting and design service that has been serving clients since 2006. Specializing in a broad range of commercial window projects, MP Drafting and Design handles everything from single storefront windows to large-scale curtain wall systems. A key aspect of their services includes preparing technicians for on-site window installation, where hands-on training is essential due to the complexity of window frames and fastening mechanisms.

In collaboration with Thingsmiths, MP Drafting developed 1:1 scale training aids representing various window components. These training models feature slide connections and brass heat set inserts, which enable repeated fastening without damaging the plastic parts. This training process ensures that technicians are fully prepared, making the installation process both quick and efficient.
