Why 3D Animation Works In The Engineering Industry
3D animation has become an indispensable tool across many industries, and is used in a number of ways. One such industry is engineering.
Of course this is a broad term, as there are multiple sub disciplines within the engineering industry, and one particular sub discipline is mechanical engineering.
Mechanical 3D Product Animation
To give a definition to the term “3D Product Animation”, it can be described as a process of creating a realistic 3D animation to demonstrate a product or structure assembly, configuration and inner workings.
An effective 3D mechanical animation should include realistic renderings, have 360 camera angles, animated charts or graphs highlighting important information, sound effects or music, and be rendered in high quality.
The Top Benefits of 3D Animation for Mechanical Engineering
> Cost Effective
- 3D animation for mechanical engineering has has the edge over other types of media for many reasons, its cost effectiveness being just one of them. There are many ways in which using 3D product mechanical animation can save companies a significant amount of money:
- It provides an alternative to demonstrating products using costly materials to build scale models
- When it comes to introducing a new product to the market, the most costly part of this process is developing a prototype. With the use of 3D mechanical animation, prototyping can be done in a virtual environment, which allows for testing to ensure the product meets the industry guidelines and requirements
- Thanks to 3D animation, identifying and removing repetitive and time consuming stages of the design process is easy and production is simplified.
- Using 3D animation for the design process in mechanical engineering means that any technical glitches or design flaws can be identified and corrected easily, saving time and preventing extensive future costs. Any changes needed to be made to a design or prototype can easily be reworked within a 3D video, without any extra cost.
> 3D Mechanical Engineering animation for marketing
Using 3D animation is ideal for marketing mechanical products to both the public and potential investors. This is because 3D visuals turn demonstrations of what could be “mundane” products into attention grabbing, visually pleasing and easy to understand “must have” products.
We can see this in mainstream advertising. If you look at an advert for a product that has complex, intricate inner components, 3D animation is vital for helping an audience understand and appreciate how it works. This could be anything from a washing machine to a razor.
With the use of sleek, realistic visuals, 360 degree angles, and added effects and voice overs, a 3D mechanical product video can successfully demonstrate in detail exactly how a new product works.
The most important outcome of using 3D animation for mechanical product marketing is enticing and convincing your target audience that they want, or even need your product, as well as getting large companies to invest in your product.
Finding a 3D animation studio that can cater to your specific needs, within a realistic budget and timeline is vital if you want an effective, professional product 3D animated video for the engineering industry.
