3D drawings
Assembly and component models to understand dimensions, interfaces and details before fabrication.
Born in the workshop.
Developed through design.
Over 15 years working with steel, from fabrication and site installation to design. I bring this experience to people who need to turn a drawing into a finished job.

I know steel because I work with it.
I am Marco Posata, a metalworker and interior designer. Before drawing a component, I learned how to cut, prepare, assemble and install it. This background helps me see each project from the workshop and site perspective: joint access, installation sequences, clearances, holes and material handling inform the drawings from the outset.
Drawings dimensioned in millimetres
I create models and drawings with millimetre dimensions, clear references and coordinated details. Drawing accuracy depends on reliable surveys and measurements; fabrication tolerances, clearances and adjustments are agreed for each job. The goal is to give the workshop clear information that reduces uncertainty and rework.
From individual details to complete steelwork
Railings, stairs, industrial buildings, canopies, security grilles, steel furniture, gates and bespoke metalwork. This service is for metalworkers and fabrication workshops seeking practical drawing support. Starting from a sketch, survey or existing design, we agree the deliverables you need.
What the service includes
Renders and revisions
Rendered views to present the work to your client and compare finishes and options, with revisions within the agreed scope.
Detailed 2D shop drawings
Views, sections and dimensioned details covering profiles, plates, holes, part references and connections according to the design.
Material schedules
Organised lists of sections, plates and components with quantities and dimensions to plan purchasing and cutting.
Fastener schedules
Types, sizes and quantities of the fasteners specified in the design to prepare fabrication and installation.
DWG files for laser cutting
Agreed 2D part geometries, prepared for review with the supplier against their production specifications.
Designed for the people who build it.
I optimise material use, component breakdown and the clarity of fabrication information. I consider opportunities to group cuts and parts, simplify preparation and assembly, and organise installation. Decisions are shared with the workshop, taking equipment, stock availability and transport into account.
From model to drawing
A practical conversation from the start.
Send your measurements, photographs, sketches and available documents. We agree objectives, deliverables, missing information and timing. I develop the model, review revisions with you and prepare the agreed shop drawing package. Each quotation reflects the complexity and documentation required.
The service covers modelling and shop drawings. Structural calculations, engineering checks, certification and permit submissions are excluded; where required, drawings are coordinated with the qualified professional’s design.
Inside the project: details that help you build
An overall view shows the result. A shop drawing explains how to get there. These extracts from my work show the transition from a 3D structure to individual dimensioned components. Open any image to inspect the details.
The right detail, at the right stage.
Identifiable components
Consistent references and part codes across the model, drawings and schedules help locate each component, prepare stock and organise assemblies.
Clear fabrication information
Dimensions, diameters, centres, thicknesses and slopes are organised in the agreed drawings, with dedicated views where a detail needs greater clarity.
Practical installation
I consider access, component breakdown and assembly sequence, working with the people who fabricate and install to avoid solutions that are difficult to handle.
What to send for an accurate quotation
Overall measurements, site photographs, available sketches or drawings, quantities and the desired finish are useful. Tell me whether you are starting from an idea or an existing technical design, which files you need and your timeline. We identify any missing information together before starting.
