3D animation for engineering companies

Your product works. The hard part is showing people how, especially when the clever bit is inside. We make 3D animation that explains engineering and technical products clearly, for marketing teams, sales teams and trade show stands.

Why engineering firms use 3D animation

Show what’s hidden

Cutaways and close-ups show the parts of a product that customers never normally see, like a seal inside a pipeline or the construction of a light.

Explain it once, clearly

A short animation can explain a technical product to buyers, specifiers and non-specialists without a sales engineer in the room.

Use it everywhere

The same animation works on your website, at trade shows, in sales meetings and on LinkedIn, and stills from it can go in brochures.

Before the product exists

Because it’s 3D, we can show a product or system before it’s built, or at a scale you couldn’t film, like an airport.

Engineering and technical work

From inflatable seals for pharmaceutical manufacturing to lighting for cold stores and hydrogen infrastructure for airports.

How a technical project works

  1. 01Understand the productWe talk to you and your engineers about how the product works and what your customers need to understand. Drawings, CAD files, photos and samples all help.
  2. 02Script and storyboardWe write a plain-English script and storyboard, and your team checks the technical detail before we animate.
  3. 03Model, animate, finishWe build the 3D model, animate it, add voiceover and sound, and deliver versions for web, social media and exhibitions.
