CAD & Engineering Drawings in Hartford, WI
Layouts, fixtures, and working drawings for Hartford manufacturers, produced in AutoCAD and SolidWorks by engineers who also work the floor.
Drawings that come from the floor
CAD and engineering drawings are how a project gets decided before steel is cut or a machine is lifted. For Hartford manufacturers, our team produces floor and machine layouts, assembly tool and fixture designs, and working drawings for fabrication and installation.
Schumacher Machine Repair Company has been headquartered in Hartford since 2003. Our engineering team is fluent in AutoCAD and SolidWorks and works alongside the same crews who carry out the work, so drawings stay grounded in what can actually be built and installed.
Hartford and the Drawing Board
Hartford is home to the Wisconsin Automotive Museum, which holds a large collection of Kissel and other Wisconsin-built automobiles. Every one of those vehicles began as a set of drawings that said what goes where and how it fits. Every machine on a plant floor begins the same way.
That is the standard we hold our drawings to for Hartford manufacturers. A layout should show the real column locations, door widths, and utility drops. A fixture drawing should reflect the parts and the people who will use it. A bracket drawing should show how it will be welded and bolted in the field. We draw for the job, and we expect to be there when it is built.
What’s Included
Our CAD and engineering support for Hartford projects can include:
- Floor and machine layout design
- Assembly tool and fixture design
- Working drawings for custom fabrication and installation projects
- Material flow optimization and organization
- Process development
- Torque tool programming and troubleshooting
Our Approach
We begin by understanding the equipment, the space, and the process behind the request, whether it is a new installation or a change to an existing line. Manufacturer documents, sketches, and photos all help.
We then develop the layouts, tooling designs, and working drawings in AutoCAD and SolidWorks. For custom steel work, the drawings feed directly into fabrication so the part that is built matches the part that was drawn.
Our engineering team stays involved through execution, working alongside the installation or fabrication crew so the finished work matches the plan and any field question gets answered on the spot.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our engineering team works in AutoCAD and SolidWorks. We use them for floor and machine layouts, assembly tool and fixture designs, and the working drawings that support fabrication and installation.
Bring whatever you have: manufacturer drawings, sketches, photos, dimensions, and a short description of what the equipment or layout needs to do. It is fine if the information is incomplete, and we will work out what is missing with you.
Much of our drawing work supports fabrication and installation that our own crews perform, which is the reason the drawings stay practical. If you have a different need, tell us what it is and we will talk through whether it is a good fit.
Yes. Floor and machine layout design is a core part of our engineering work. We look at how material and people move through the space and propose a layout that you can review before any equipment is moved.
Call (414) 412-4994 or use the contact form to describe the project. We will ask about the equipment, the space, and the goal, and then discuss how we can help.
