Another sentence where MILL can mean the same:

Verify the mill heat lot number on pick list.

Heat lot number: numéro de coulée

Hello guys! Here I leave you more context. In my opinion, drawings are on paper too.


NOTE#1 Extrusions:
When selecting the print from the imaging system for receiving inspection the airframe designer part print should be used for verification.
If unavailable notify QA so that a designer part print can be obtained.
Avoid using the mill manufacturer’s die drawing as some old mill drawings may contain incorrect dimension or tolerances.

Yes, you're probably right about the paper drawings — I just thought it was best to draw Asker's attention to that other possibility; the fact it says 'contain' certainly seems to point that way, as you say.

You're probably right about it being a drawing mill, though the Asker could help confirm that by providing more relevant context. "... some old mill drawings may contain incorrect dimension or tolerances" still sounds like drawings on paper to me though.

Not necessarily, I'm afraid!

If this were indeed a situation of 'drawing' something through this die (rather then extruding it), then the place where such drawing takes place, or as here the machine used to do so, is a 'drawing mill' — I thinki that makes more sense in this context with dies etc.

No, I don't think so; "mill manufacturer" seems like the manufacturer of the milling equipment. While the word "mill" can be used in English to mean "factory", that usually applies to industries that used to use wind or water power, e.g. flour mills or cotton mills. It might be useful to have more context, e.g. the context that convinces you that "die" is "filière". It is confusing that your question and comments contain references to milling, casting and extrusion ("filière").

Could it be "du fabricant en usine"?
