Creation of exploded drawings, assembly and installation instructions, infographics and more
Exploded drawings
By displaying individual parts of a complex system or component separately, we enable a detailed examination of the internal structures and components.
Assembly manuals
With clear and precise illustrations, we help you explain the assembly of products or systems step by step. This makes assembly more efficient and minimises errors.
Cross-sectional view
By adding cutaways and transparent areas to illustrations, we provide detailed insight into complex devices and how they work.
3D visualisations
Using state-of-the-art 3D software, we create realistic and detailed representations of your products. This enables a precise idea of design, proportions and functionality.
Infographics, diagrams & pictograms
We combine technical information with visually appealing graphics and diagrams to present complex data and relationships in a clear and easily understandable way.
Online help
We create detailed and well-structured online help guides that assist users in navigating and using your product or system. By integrating illustrations, screenshots and step-by-step instructions, we make it easier for users to find relevant information and solve problems.
Quick user guides
These compact and easy-to-understand instructions provide a quick overview of the most important functions and operating steps for your product. We combine clear texts with visual elements to give users immediate access to the information they need.
Making complexity understandable
Our technical illustrations can be delivered in a variety of formats, including printed materials, digital media and interactive applications. We adapt to your specific requirements and offer tailor-made solutions.
When creating our illustrations, we place great importance on accuracy, attention to detail and aesthetic quality. Our goal is to present technical information in a way that is both informative and visually appealing.
Advantages of using technical illustrations in documentation
The use of technical illustrations in documentation offers a wide range of advantages that are appreciated by both manufacturers and users of products or systems.
Illustrations and images can be used to convey information that is independent of language. This means that less text needs to be translated, resulting in significant cost savings when translating technical documentation into different languages.
The extensive use of illustrations makes it possible to reduce the volume of printed technical documentation. Fewer pages mean lower printing costs and a more environmentally friendly approach.
Text-heavy documents can be daunting for users. The use of illustrations and pictorial instructions enhances the visual aspect, which increases the readability and attractiveness of the documentation. Users are more likely to be motivated to read and understand the documentation.
Technical information can often be complex and difficult to understand. Technical illustrations enable this information to be presented visually, making it easier for users to grasp and understand. Complex technical relationships can be grasped and understood at a glance.
Each target group has different knowledge and experience. Illustrations provide visual support that enables information to be conveyed in an easily understandable way. The use of visual elements can also make complex processes and functions understandable, regardless of the technical background of the users.
The added value of good visualisation
The use of illustrations in technical documentation therefore offers a number of advantages, including reduced translation costs, reduced printing costs, increased readability, simple presentation of complex technical concepts and ease of understanding for the target audience. These advantages contribute to an improved user experience, more efficient use of documentation and, ultimately, satisfied users.

Frequently asked questions about technical illustration
Technical illustrations are an essential part of technical communication, as they convey complex technical information in a clear and concise manner. Its areas of application include operating instructions, assembly instructions, maintenance instructions, catalogues and brochures. True-to-scale illustrations with dimensions and explanatory labels help to make the functions and construction methods of individual parts and assemblies easier to understand.
What types of technical illustrations are there?
Common forms of technical illustrations include exploded views, functional diagrams, perspective drawings, sectional drawings and 3D visualisations. We also cover individual illustrations. Please feel free to enquire about your specific requirements!
Why are technical illustrations important?
They improve understanding of complex products and processes, reduce the need for lengthy texts and facilitate communication of technical content – especially for international users.
How are technical illustrations created?
Technical illustrations are created using special software such as CAD programs or vector graphics tools. 3D models are often used to create accurate and detailed representations.
What role do standards and guidelines play?
Standards such as DIN or ISO ensure uniform and comprehensible presentation. For example, they define line types, symbols and labels to avoid misunderstandings.
Where are technical illustrations used?
Technical illustrations are used in many areas, including mechanical engineering, the automotive industry, medical technology, electronics, and in the creation of user manuals and maintenance manuals.
What advantages do 3D illustrations offer over 2D drawings?
3D illustrations provide a realistic, detailed view of objects, can be viewed from different perspectives and thus facilitate the visual perception of technical relationships.
How do technical illustrations contribute to product comprehensibility?
They help to illustrate complicated processes and structures clearly, which reduces misunderstandings and makes it easier to use products or machines.
What software is used at E-Kern to create technical illustrations?
KERN uses modern graphics and CAD programs to create professional and precise technical illustrations that are optimally tailored to the needs of its customers.
