3D animation for assembly, installation, and maintenance.

DevWorks 3D animation services help manufacturers and engineering teams show how equipment goes together, installs on site, and is serviced—motion sequences for training and sales, not still renders or solid-only part models.

Two minutes. Twelve worlds. One cut.

CAPABILITIES

Six disciplines, one pipeline.

From character animation to product visualization, our pipeline scales from 30-second spots to multi-episode series — without losing the craft.

01

Scope the procedure

Walk through the work instruction with your team. Define what the animation must show — assembly, installation, or maintenance — and who will use it on the floor.

DELIVERABLE

Scope · Work sequence

02

Order the steps

Sequence each operation in the order a technician performs it. Flag fasteners, tooling, and safety pauses so nothing is skipped in the final animation.

Step list · Notes

03

Prepare the engineering model

Import and clean CAD from SOLIDWORKS, Inventor, or STEP. Organize parts for motion, exploded views, and clearance checks before animation begins.

DELIVERABLE

Prepared CAD

04

Animate the motion

Drive realistic part movement — insertions, rotations, and tool paths — so each step matches how the work is actually done.

DELIVERABLE

05

Render views a technician can follow

Export MP4 and still frames with clear angles, labels, and pacing a technician can follow without guessing what happens next.

06

Engineering review before release

Your engineers verify sequence, fit, and clarity. Revisions are applied and the package is approved before it goes to training or the line.

DELIVERABLE

Approved package

Multi-engine. Discipline-aware. Audit-ready.

Animation is built from your engineering model — CAD, assemblies, and motion studies — then reviewed with your team before it is released to training or the line.

What Our Clients Say

“We rolled out a unified analytics platform on a practical timeline. Production planners finally see the same numbers as finance, and weekly review meetings are shorter.”

Manufacturing operations leader

United States

“The machine learning models DevWorks built for us reduced unplanned downtime on critical lines. The team delivered clear documentation and stayed involved through the first production release.”

Engineering leader

United States

“They helped us move off spreadsheets without breaking existing workflows. Our engineers adopted the dashboards faster than any prior IT project we have run.”

Data and operations leader

United States

“Predictive maintenance alerts now reach supervisors before equipment fails, so the plant can act on issues before they become stoppages.”

Plant operations leader

United States

“The data pipeline work was thorough and practical. We get near real time visibility into inventory and supplier performance without adding manual reporting steps.”

IT leader

United States

Industries we love telling stories for.

Twelve sectors. Hundreds of briefs. Each shaped by its own narrative grammar — and each one we love translating into motion.

Frequently asked questions

You get the master film at all required resolutions (HD/2K/4K), social cutdowns, motion source files, and project archives. We also include a brand motion guide on Studio and Campaign tiers.

Absolutely. We have a structured collaboration model for hybrid projects — your team handles direction and brand, we handle production. We use Shotgrid and Frame.io for shared review workflows.

Yes. Our in-house sound team covers SFX design, music licensing, and original score composition. Audio is integrated as standard on Studio and Campaign tiers.

Each production stage includes two rounds of feedback built into the schedule. Revisions beyond the agreed rounds are scoped and billed at a day-rate, keeping budgets predictable.

Yes. We have a vetted network of senior freelancers and partner studios we activate for feature-length or multi-market campaign work. Capacity scales without sacrificing creative oversight.

All IP transfers to you on final payment. We sign mutual NDAs before any brief exchange, and source files are delivered as part of the project archive.
