I have experience developing technical documentation for complex mechanical and manufactured products, and I understand the importance of producing clear, factory-ready drawings that communicate construction intent, material stack-ups, assembly sequence, and critical dimensions. For this project, I would refine your existing concept into a clean technical package that includes detailed exterior, interior, and exploded views, accurately documenting laminate panels, hook-and-loop interfaces, laser-cut MOLLE geometry, shoulder adjustment hardware, cummerbund integration, fold lines, seam locations, and assembly notes. The files will be organized, editable, and prepared to support efficient manufacturer review while allowing for future expansion into the remainder of the product family. One additional question: do you already have a preferred factory or manufacturing process (laser-cut laminate, die-cut, CNC fabric cutting, etc.) so the drawings can reflect their production standards?
