What is Drawing (manufacturing)?
'''Drawing''' is a [[manufacturing]] process for producing a [[wire]], bar or [[tube]] by pulling on a material until it increases in length. This is typically accompanied by a thinning out of the material, usually through a [[reduction]] in the [[girth]]. This technique has long been used to produce flexible [[metal]] [[wire]] by drawing the material through a series of holes of decreasing size. More recently drawing has been used with molten [[glass]] to produce high quality [[optical fiber]]s. [[Category:Tools]] {{stub}}
