PRECISE VISUALISATIONS OF TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS
The creation of technical illustrations and cross-sections focuses on showing the internal layout of products. Outputs are intended for professional publications, marketing materials and media.
Visualizations are used to present products to business partners and customers. The graphic processing is tailored to communication and marketing purposes, which differentiates it from the technical outputs of 3D design software.
The activity also includes the design of functional and visually comprehensible products in the field of industrial design.
TECHNICAL ILLUSTRATIONS
Technical illustrations are 2D representations intended to show machines, apparatus or products – as a cross-section to clarify the internal layout, or as an alternative to a photograph without the need for a section.
Illustrations are created from photographs, drawings or images from design software. If required, it is also possible to create a visualisation without any supporting documents, for example when introducing a new product. There are various display styles to choose from – sharp cuts, transparencies, contour lines, axonometry, perspective or coloured technical drawings.
INFOGRAPHICS
While technical illustrations are created to show the internal layout, we offer infographic illustrations as a solution to describe the function of a product with an image. We have also included commercial site maps in this category, which are treated as a 2D illustration, but the view of the object(s) is spatial.
We can also process infographic illustrations as moving animations, with smaller objects in motion to describe the function – for example, arrows, colour changes over time, but mainly according to the specific requirements for the purpose of the illustration.
CATALOGUE
Currently, manufacturers are predominantly using design software that greatly facilitates and speeds up the creation of spare parts catalogues from 3D models. This offering aims to cover areas where the scope of existing modelled parts may be limiting. In particular, this is to supplement groups with purchased components that are only simplistically represented in the design or are completely absent – typically electrical or hydraulic parts.
When creating these supplemental visualizations, strict care is taken to maintain the visual standards defined in the existing illustrations, from uniform orientation of objects to consistent use of line thicknesses and styles. As a result, these illustrations do not feel like afterthoughts, but fit organically into the overall graphic style of the spare parts catalogue.
INDUSTRIAL DESIGN
Based on the requirements you provide, it is possible to develop a complex design of a new product or its selected parts in various alternatives. The designs will be optimized in terms of functionality, aesthetics, ergonomics and maximum utility of the product.
Utilising expertise in industrial design, with a focus on mobile technology and working machines, and with links to the field of machine design, will ensure that the machine design is not only attractive but also feasible in existing production conditions. At the same time, relevant design challenges are already taken into account in the conceptual design phase.
The resulting machine design will be provided in the form of dimensional drawings and a 3D model, thus ensuring a comprehensive reference for subsequent design work and the creation of drawings.
