Exploded and assembled sketches

Cards (1)

  • Exploded views show the separate parts of an object that make up its assembly. Items are spaced out so each can be seen clearly but are always in line with the connecting part.
    Exploded views are used to show the manufacturer how the different parts of the product will fit together.
    Assembled views show all the different parts of the product fitted together and show the manufacturer what the completed/assembled product will look like.
    These are used during the planning for manufacture stage of the design process.
