Exploded illustrations for assembly, servicing and maintenance.
Orchid creates exploded parts diagrams that clearly show how components fit together, making them ideal for assembly, disassembly, servicing and maintenance documentation. These illustrations are commonly used in service manuals, illustrated parts catalogues, maintenance guides and training materials.
Explaining Complex Assemblies
Exploded diagrams are particularly effective where products or systems contain many interrelated parts. They help users to:
- Understand component relationships.
- Identify parts and sub-assemblies.
- Follow assembly or disassembly sequences.
- Support servicing and repair activities.
Illustrations can range from simple 2D layouts to detailed perspective or 3D-based views.
Flexible Illustration Styles
Exploded parts diagrams can be produced in:
- Black and white or full colour.
- Line drawings or full 3D renders.
- 2D or 3D perspective styles.
- Digital only or print ready outputs.
The style is selected to suit the complexity of the product and how the illustration will be used.

Our illustrators work closely with either our in-house technical authors or your technical engineers to ensure diagrams are accurate, logically structured and easy to follow. This is especially important in safety-critical or regulated environments.
