Renderings, concept images, illustrations and animations help convey a design to its intended audience. Typically renderings and visualisation tools are used to assist sales, marketing and the design and development process.

The greatest advantage is experiencing the design vision long before it becomes a reality. Design  iterations are achieved relatively quickly and cost effectively at this stage compared to making changes later in the design process.

2D Images

Need that perfect concept image to get the ‘WOW’ factor but don’t have any 3D CAD files yet? Computer Aided Industrial Design (CAID) or 2D images are produced independently of CAD and can add that extra dimension to tender documents, sales presentations or design and development reports.

We can map your logo and product graphics onto an image, show LCD screen displays, present high quality surface finishes and light the environment. We have an extensive material library for quick construction and easy manipulation. Ask us how we can capture your vision and turn it into an inspiring image.

3D Renderings

Renderings, also known as photorealism, add visual impact to marketing presentations and give an audience the ‘WOW’ factor. Primarily used to convey or sell a concept long before it has materialised in the physical world. Other marketing applications for computer generated images include artwork for packaging, brochures and websites.

Need help with creating that perfect image but lack the time or resource? We add that extra dimension to freehand sketches and CAD files. Professional finishes include mapping company logo and product graphics onto an image and illustrating LCD screen displays. There is also an extensive material library for quick construction and filling in scenes.

Animation

Animation is a wonderful way to win support for a design concept in the boardroom or experience the environment you wish to create whilst it’s still in the planning stages. Walking through the future built environment or seeing how mechanical mechanisms operate, brings a virtual experience that can also enhance the design development and understanding.

Instruction Illustrations

2D CAD drawings capture the design intent, but another application of the software is to create illustrations to support the assembly, sales, marketing, after sales care and service documentation.

Line drawings and rendered images of exploded views can be developed to illustrate: step by step assembly processes; fitting instructions; user and service manuals.

Patent Drawings

Clear and concise line drawings are an integral part of patent applications.  To help protect  intellectual property, DAP can assist with illustrating initial ideas through to manipulating CAD data to create clearly defined patent applications.
