Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
This occupation involves marking (scribing) metal materials based on drawings before processing metal products, accurately indicating positions for cutting, drilling, and bending operations.
Description
Marking workers (scribes) read product drawings in the preliminary stage of machining and accurately mark processing positions, shapes, center lines, hole positions, etc., on metal plates or bars. They use tools such as surface plates, vernier calipers, micrometers, scribes, and prick punches to draw lines according to dimensional tolerances. For precision instrument parts and mold components that require high accuracy, the precision of marking directly affects machining quality.
Future Outlook
While manufacturing is advancing in automation and AI, high-precision marking work is still required for precision parts, so the demand for skilled workers with enhanced expertise is expected to continue.
