Specialised illustration
Technical drawing
A good technical drawing removes questions. Someone assembling a product, ordering a spare part or filing a patent should be able to see exactly what is meant without reading a paragraph to check.
Overview
What this service covers
We produce technical illustration for manuals, service documentation, parts catalogues, patent applications and assembly instructions, working from CAD data, photographs, physical samples or engineering sketches.
Output is vector by default, which keeps drawings sharp at any size, allows callout numbering to be updated later, and makes translated editions straightforward.
Process
Four stages, each with an approval point
Source assessment
CAD, photographs or samples reviewed and any missing views identified.
View selection
We agree which views and sections communicate the assembly most efficiently.
Drawing production
Drawings built as layered vector with numbering applied.
Verification
Each drawing is checked against the source geometry before delivery.
