Animated explainer videos for manufacturers, industrial equipment makers and logistics companies that show how machines, systems and processes work, without a factory shoot. 2D, 3D and motion graphics from a studio working since 2011.
Heavy machinery, explained without the hard hats.
Industrial animation is the use of 2D and 3D animation to explain machinery, equipment, manufacturing processes and industrial systems, showing how they work and why they matter to buyers, operators and investors. Animation can cut away housings, slow down fast processes and show an entire plant or supply chain in one shot, things a camera on the factory floor can’t do. It’s used for sales, trade shows, training and product launches.

2D and simple 3D videos start at $3,500 per 60 seconds. Detailed 3D equipment animation is quoted per project based on modeling complexity.
Yes. CAD files make models accurate and speed up production. We can also model from photos and drawings.
Animation shows inside equipment, needs no shutdown or safety logistics, can show unbuilt products and is easy to update.
Equipment makers, manufacturers, logistics, energy, automotive equipment and industrial technology companies.
Yes. We create looping, silent-friendly videos for booths and events.
Yes. Animation makes procedures and safety steps clear and consistent.
4–6 weeks for 2D and simple 3D; longer for complex 3D models.
Yes. Once modeled, equipment can be reused for new videos, social cuts and sales tools.
Your engineers review the script and storyboard before animation and each stage after.
Yes, from your spec sheets and engineering input.
Yes. All custom projects are backed by our money-back guarantee.
