About Project

This detailed cutaway model demonstrates how advanced 3D printing can transform complex industrial components into clear, tangible teaching and demonstration tools. The part replicates the real-world assembly of a heavy-duty mechanical unit-complete with housings, flanges, gears, and shaft details-while the precise sectioning allows viewers to see inside the mechanism without disassembly.

Cutaway prototypes like this are invaluable in industries such as energy, automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing. They help engineers, clients, and trainees visualize the inner workings of machinery, improve communication, and simplify technical education.

At FacFox, we specialize in producing high-precision prototypes and cutaway models using a wide range of 3D printing technologies, materials, and post-processing options. Whether you need a functional prototype, a realistic display model, or a large-scale industrial mockup, our team is here to bring your designs to life with unmatched accuracy and speed.

Solution

• Step 1: The 3D CAD model of the industrial component was prepared, and a sectioned cutaway design was created to expose the internal structures.
• Step 2: The digital model was sliced, and optimal printing parameters were set according to the required scale, resolution, and material strength.
• Step 3: The part was 3D printed using a high-precision industrial printer, ensuring accurate reproduction of fine details such as gear teeth, shafts, and inner housings.
• Step 4: The raw prints were removed from the build platform, cleaned, and any necessary supports were carefully detached.
• Step 5: The surfaces were sanded and post-processed to achieve a smooth finish, suitable for both display and handling.
• Step 6: The outer housing was coated with bright orange paint, while the exposed inner areas were finished in metallic and neutral tones to highlight different mechanical sections.
• Step 7: The cutaway model was fully assembled and inspected to ensure dimensional accuracy and a professional presentation quality.
