Boult Wade Tennant's Technical Illustration Department prepares technical illustrations and artwork suitable to accompany patent, design and trade mark applications. The department uses the very latest in 2D and 3D software alongside more traditional drawing methods. Our current software packages include SolidWorks (sophisticated 3D software), Microsoft Visio (2D software), AutoCAD LT, Adobe Photoshop CS, Microsoft Word and Microsoft PowerPoint. We can also work from digital photography.

Technical illustrations can be generated from a variety of sources from sketches, actual product items or existing artwork to general briefings. Our illustrators are used to working on all types of IP drawing and are experienced in liaising with R&D departments, IP managers, in-house attorneys, product designers and individual inventors in order to achieve the required results.

Our Technical Illustration Department provides an efficient and cost-effective service to clients of all types, from international conglomerates to UK companies, academic institutions and individual inventors. These days R&D teams often use design packages in the development of products, so the fact that our in-house department is able to take a created file and manipulate it to produce the required artwork can be an advantage in terms of time and money.

Our Technical illustrators are used to working to deadlines. The artwork can be supplied in the electronic format preferred, as a paper copy or as both. The length of time taken will depend on requirements and how the design detail is supplied. Quotations are available on request.
