I'll have to share this next week at my tiny, 20-person shop.

We have a machine shop and an engineering group. ISO9001/AS9100 have stringent requirements about CAD models and print lifecycles and document management, which frequently add friction. We've got engineers who are good with their hands and could build most of the designs themselves without committing anything to CAD, and machinists/fabricators who are smart and could probably design most of the things they're building without needing a print to work towards.

It's only the formal communication layer in the print release process which forces us to have accurate drawings of the things we've made and have to think through the whole design before putting a piece of steel in the mill.
