      I dont use blueprints as the things i build or design dont exists yet, so over the course of designing something i will create a form of blueprints.

      Normal blueprints are an “old school” method of design, still used by civil engineers to build houses, roads, bridged etc. Other engineers would design things in 3d modelling software such AutoCad, SolidWorks etc. This creates a virtual version of your design, which can then be used to produce a real thing.

      No we don’t use blueprints, almost all of our design work happens on the computer. We generate drawings off the 3D models & just print them out on paper to give them to the workshop.
