Exploded views and cut-throughs in MarTech3D apps
MarTech3D allows you to create exploded views and cut-throughs directly inside your 3D applications — helping customers see inside, through, or around your product in a way that's simply not possible with static images or videos.
These features are ideal for technical demonstrations, product explainers, and immersive training content.
💥 What is an exploded view?
An exploded view separates the components of a product so users can see how it’s assembled or structured — without fully disassembling it.
In MarTech3D, this is done interactively, in real time.
For example:
- A pump can separate into casing, motor, impeller, and seals
- A medical device can show outer casing, interior electronics, and fluid pathways
- A machine tool can be pulled apart to highlight key safety features or parts
You can trigger this effect with a button, hotspot, or as part of a guided step-by-step sequence.
🔍 What is a cut-through?
A cut-through (or section view) allows the user to see inside a product without exploding it — like slicing it open to reveal internal features.
Cut-throughs are useful for:
- Showing airflow, fluid flow, or internal mechanics
- Demonstrating safety shielding or material layering
- Explaining insulation, sensors, or hidden components
You can create animated cutaways, toggle visibility, or show ghosted layers in real time.
🧠 Why use these views?
- Explain complexity visually — perfect for sales teams and customer onboarding
- Highlight what makes your product different — especially in competitive industries
- Train internal teams — great for maintenance, servicing, or technical education
- Support compliance or certification — show how a product meets standards internally
🧩 How are they triggered?
Exploded and cut-through views can be activated by:
- Buttons or menu items in your app UI
- Hotspots on the product itself
- Step-by-step product walkthroughs
- Automated sequences or demos
🎯 Customisable and branded
- Use your brand colours, icons, and instructions
- Add labels, arrows, or overlays to call out parts
- Include tooltips, linked documents, or voiceover if required
🌐 Available online and offline
These views work in both:
- Online (browser or embedded)
- Offline (via the MarTech3D Launcher for Windows)
No video files, no pre-rendering — everything runs in real time with your 3D product model.
