Marking out
open-in-new
<p>Marking out or layout means the process of transferring a <a href="/facts/Design/kR4GNeja">design</a> or <a href="/facts/Pattern/mzD7uLQa">pattern</a> to a workpiece, as the first step in the manufacturing process. It is performed in many industries or hobbies although in the repetition industries the machine's initial setup is designed to remove the need to mark out every individual piece. </p>
