FAQ

3D Animations for Industrial Applications is a specialized form of CGI that visually explains complex engineering processes, machinery, and industrial workflows through motion. These animations are widely used in manufacturing, construction, aerospace, automotive, and other technical industries to showcase product functionality, assembly processes, exploded views, and technical breakdowns.

🔹 Common uses:
✅ Exploded views & cutaways – Reveal internal components & mechanics
✅ Process visualization – Show how a factory, system, or equipment operates
✅ Assembly instructions – Step-by-step industrial product demonstrations
✅ Engineering simulations – Demonstrate physics, material flow, or technical functionality

Our 3D Industrial & Technical Animation service covers everything needed to create high-quality, detailed animations that bring your project to life.

If you don’t have a 3D model, we can build one from scratch using reference images or CAD files. The animation itself is carefully designed to visually explain technical processes, product functionality, or complex workflows with smooth movements and professional camera angles. Exploded views and cutaways help highlight internal components, while lighting and textures enhance realism.

To ensure clarity, we include on-screen technical callouts and annotations, making it easy to communicate key details. The final animation is delivered in high resolution, ready for presentations, marketing, or training use.

If needed, we also offer add-ons like physics-based simulations (fluid, smoke, fire, particles), voice-over narration, subtitles, and fully customized environments such as factories, warehouses, or construction sites.

Need something specific? Let us know your requirements, and we’ll tailor the animation to fit your needs. 

Our pricing is transparent and tailored to match your project’s needs.

The cost depends on factors like animation complexity, environment settings, and additional effects.

💰 Pricing Overview

A basic 3D industrial animation starts at $90 per second, while exploded views and process animations range from $120–$140 per second. For advanced, high-detail animations with simulations, prices start at $270 per second. If your project requires custom environments, complex machinery movements, or additional visual effects, we can accommodate that with flexible pricing.

🌍 Environment & Backgrounds

The right background can enhance the realism and impact of your animation. A white or black studio setup is included at no extra cost. If you need a more realistic setting, a pre-designed factory or industrial environment starts at $700, while a fully custom-built scene, such as a construction site or a specialized manufacturing facility, starts at $1,500.

🔥 Add-On Simulation Effects

For projects that require more advanced visuals, we offer physics-based simulations such as fluid flow, fire, smoke, and particle effects. These start at $500 for setup, with additional per-second pricing depending on complexity.

Yes! We Specialize in CAD-Based 3D Animations

We can import, optimize, and animate your CAD models to create highly accurate and detailed 3D animations. Whether you have a STEP, IGES, STL, or other 3D file formats, we can seamlessly integrate them into our workflow.

🔹 Benefits of Using Your CAD Models

Maintains engineering accuracy – Ensures all dimensions, parts, and components are correct
Speeds up the animation process – No need to model from scratch, reducing project costs
Consistent with manufacturing specs – Ideal for engineering approvals, training, and presentations

🔹 What If I Don’t Have a CAD Model?

No worries! We can create a 3D model from scratch using:
Reference images
Blueprints / technical drawings
Sketches or rough concepts

Note: Custom modeling adds extra time & cost, depending on complexity.

🔹 What File Formats Do You Accept?

We work with all major CAD file types, including:
STEP (.step, .stp) – Most common format for engineering files
IGES (.iges, .igs) – Great for transferring 3D surface data
STL (.stl) – Used for 3D printing & basic models
SolidWorks (.sldprt, .sldasm) – Native files from SolidWorks
AutoCAD (.dwg, .dxf) – 2D/3D CAD drawings
OBJ / FBX – Common 3D exchange formats

📌 If you’re unsure about your file format, send us what you have, and we’ll let you know if we can work with it.

Yes! We provide high-quality physics-based simulations that enhance industrial, technical, and product animations.

Whether you need fluid flow, smoke dispersion, fire effects, or particle animations, we create realistic CGI simulations that mimic real-world physics.

We can simulate liquids flowing through machinery, fire and smoke for industrial safety demonstrations, particles like dust and debris, or even flexible materials like cloth and rubber. These effects add an extra layer of realism to engineering, manufacturing, and marketing animations.

What Types of Simulations Do We Offer?

We offer a variety of physics-based effects, including:

• Fluid simulation – Perfect for water, oil, chemicals, and industrial liquid flows.
• Fire & smoke simulation – Great for combustion, exhaust systems, and controlled burns.
• Particle effects – Simulate dust, debris, sparks, or fine material dispersion.
• Cloth & soft body physics – Ideal for fabric, rubber, or flexible materials.
• Rigid body physics – Used for mechanical movements, impacts, and object interactions.

How Much Does It Cost?

Simulation pricing depends on complexity, but fluid, smoke, fire, and particle effects start at $500 for setup, with additional per-second pricing.
