Technical illustrations: Technic displayed descriptive and easily understood
For better understanding, technical relations and details can be depicted in segments, displaying exploded, isometric or schematic views. Also ideal for user-friendly manuals and good instructions. Here you will also find solutions for the presentation of XML-based illustrations (SVG).

Frequently asked questions about technical illustrations (FAQ)
What is a technical illustration?
A technical illustration primarily focuses on technical applications. Outline drawings are very common here, but exploded views or illustrations for handbooks, instructions for use and manuals are also typical applications of technical illustration.
What do I need technical illustrations for?
Most technical illustrations are needed to document or explain constructions, to explain use or to show instructions (e.g. building instructions, see IKEA or LEGO).
What specifically should I pay attention to?
Very strict standards usually apply, i.e. the symbols are uniform, sometimes also colors, line widths and certain arrangements. It is important to know all these special features in advance in order to avoid mistakes.
What is the procedure for creating a technical illustration?
The question of the target group is just as important here as the question of the existing standards. Once this has been clarified, the process is usually broken down into sub-processes, which can still be easily and unambiguously recorded and processed one after the other.
Who are technical illustrations for?
In most cases, technical illustrations are for users: operating a machine, assembling furniture, how a car display works, the new HD screen, etc.
