What is Technical Illustration?
Technical illustration visually communicates information regarding technical topics to non technical audiences.
Technical illustrations include isometric and perspective drawings often derived from two dimensional drafting or CAD drawings. Technical illustrations may display cutaways, callouts, charts, diagrams and detail views.
Many people encounter technical illustrations in user manuals, assembly drawings or educational articles.
