Creation of technical data
The term “technical data” here is general name of parts catalogs, service manuals, owner’s manuals, etc.A parts catalog is used to order repair parts, a service manual explains maintenance procedures to mechanics, and an owner’s manual explains how to use a vehicle to users.
Specialized staff handles all tasks from planning to delivery according to the characteristics of each data.
Knowledge and practical experience of maintenance of four-wheeled and two-wheeled vehicles is very useful in creating technical data. We have many staff members who are qualified as mechanics and use their experience in their daily work.
Technical illustration
A technical illustration is mainly used to show the shape, structure, and function of industrial products in an accurate and easy-to-understand manner. It is used in instruction manuals, catalogs, manuals, etc.
The advantage of technical illustrations is that shapes that are difficult to understand in drawings can be understood efficiently and easily by making them into 3D illustrations.
In addition, compared to 3D data and other data created through automatic conversion, by omitting and simplifying unnecessary information, it is possible to express detailed nuances, emphasize important parts, and provide explanations that are easier to understand.
We create easy-to-see and easy-to-understand illustrations of the shapes, structures, and functions of all industrial products based on drawings, photographs, 3D data, and actual products.
