Case. Technology. Technical video for products
A 3D printer, from CAD to exploded view.
A manufacturer hands over the CAD of a product and gets back an exploded-view and assembly video with chapters, for sales, for the manual and for training. Here, on an open-design 3D printer: 1,715 parts in nine subassemblies that come apart and back together in 72 seconds.

The CAD as it arrives
A 241 MB STEP file with 1,715 solids and not one colour: nine top-level subassemblies and, inside them, every single screw. It is opened headless, the dimensions are checked (43 × 53 × 52 cm) and it is exported grouped by subassembly and by material.
What each part is
The CAD does not say what is aluminium and what is acrylic: the part names do. Extrusion, belt, fasteners, clear panel, opaque panel, board, power supply, motor, rail, bearing, fan, bed, flex sheet and printed part: fourteen materials assigned by label. Whatever is left over is a printed part, which is most of the machine.

Assembled and exploded
Every subassembly has its own way out: the panels rise, the skirt drops, the electronics come out underneath and the frame stays put as the reference. A dark studio with three-point light and a camera that orbits without a cut. Drag to compare.

The video with chapters
One continuous 72-second shot with ten chapters: the printer assembled, panels and doors, skirt, spool holder and exhaust, X/Y gantry, Z assembly, electronics, heated bed, everything apart, assembly. On the manufacturer website it would carry the chapters as an index, like the walkthrough of the flat.
