3D Exploded View Video Examples: 25 Ways to Show the Inside

Littelfuse pitches its Rotor Position Sensor (RPS) as an alternative to resolvers in electric and hybrid vehicle motors. The film starts with the car, then takes the sensor apart.

What works here:

• Context comes before parts. A ghosted vehicle reveals its motor first, so the viewer knows where the sensor lives before it splits.
• The fan-out names every layer: the target, the transmission and reception coils, and a dedicated ASIC.
• The parts set up the business case. Littelfuse says the sensor is up to 3 times cheaper, and smaller, lighter and easier to integrate.

The move: Split your product into the 4 or 5 parts that carry the claim, and label each one. If a viewer can't name a part after the film, cut it from the shot.

RIIFO's 53-second film sells the F6 push-fit connector to plumbing pros and specifiers. It takes the fitting apart, then shows how little work the install takes.

What works here:

• Every part gets a label, from the brass body to the double seal rings. Claims like “double slip prevention” sit on the parts that prove them.
• The install is the next shot: push to connect for PEX pipe, and one rounding step for multilayer pipe.
• A green indicator in the inspection holes confirms the pipe is fully inserted. The iF and Red Dot awards close the film.

The move: Put each claim on the part that proves it. If a label floats with no part under it, it's a slogan, not a spec.

Lenze's film introduces the IE5/IE7 motor drive system, a synchronous motor sold on energy efficiency and ease of use. The exploded view sits in the middle of the story.

What works here:

• The YouTube title states the pitch in one line: innovative, synchronous and easy to use, with high energy efficiency.
• The exploded view lays the components out in the open, so the efficiency claim has hardware behind it.
• Two claims carry the close: a 300% overload capacity and regenerative energy features.

The move: Open the casing at the moment you make your biggest claim. If the claim and the exploded view land in different scenes, move one of them.

Watson-Marlow's Bioflex Ultra is a PTFE hose for biopharma, food and chemical fluid transfer. The film opens the hose to show why nothing gets trapped inside it.

What works here:

• The liner is the hero. It's convoluted outside and smooth bore inside, with no adhesive, and the exploded view shows both at once.
• Then the hose moves. Kink resistance and CIP and SIP cleaning are shown in action, not listed.
• The close works as a selection guide: general purpose or anti-static liners, 5 cover materials and a range of end fittings.

The move: If your product's value is a layer nobody sees, cut through it once and hold the shot. If buyers have to imagine the inside, they'll imagine the cheap version.

ASUS introduces the Vivobook S 15, its first Copilot+ PC. The film opens the laptop to show the AI chip it's built around.

What works here:

• One part is the star. The Snapdragon X Elite processor and its Qualcomm AI engine glow inside the chassis while data flows around them.
• Cutaways cover what buyers check next: a full set of I/O ports, IceCool thermal airflow and a keyboard with a dedicated Copilot key.
• The close returns to the outside: a thin chassis, a 15.6-inch 3K 120 Hz OLED display and Dolby Atmos sound.

The move: Pick the one part your launch is about and light it brighter than the rest. If every part glows, none of them is the news.

Katena, a Corza Medical brand, explains its Ambio2 and Ambio5 amniotic membrane grafts to eye surgeons. It's a tissue layer view, not a machine teardown, so read it for the technique.

What works here:

• 3D tissue layers separate to show what Katena's Clearify process keeps: the amnion, intermediate and chorion layers.
• Then the uses, from neurotrophic corneal ulcers to pterygium excision and chemical burns, with on-screen text beside each one.
• Handling details close it: an added tab for placement, an orientation watermark and a 5-year room temperature shelf life.

The move: If your product has no casing, spread it in layers instead of parts. If a surgeon or engineer can't name each layer afterward, slow the separation down.

Opel's film for the Corsa-e, its small electric car, turns the body transparent. The battery and motor stay in place, so every number has somewhere to land.

What works here:

• The X-ray shows the battery built into the chassis. That one shot answers the cabin space question without a line of copy.
• Performance gets numbers: up to 260 Nm of torque, 0 to 50 km/h in 2.8 seconds, and Eco, Normal and Sport modes.
• Range worry gets numbers too: up to 80% charge in about 30 minutes and a 337 km WLTP range.

The move: Pair each transparent shot with one number. If the shot shows the battery, the number on screen is the range.

Dacia's 43-second film walks through the Sandrider, its rally car for Dakar 2025. Ghosted panels reveal the systems built for the desert.

What works here:

• Heat is the first problem. Thermo-management with an anti-infrared pigment shows up inside the ghosted body.
• Then the repair kit: quick-access spare wheel mounting, magnetic plates that hold bolts during repairs, and a modular dashboard.
• The fuel is part of the pitch. The Sandrider runs on synthetic fuel.

The move: Show each feature at the moment your user needs it, like a bolt during a roadside repair. If the scene could be any day, it's a spec list.

Reacton sells automatic fire suppression for airport ground support vehicles. The film starts with an engine fire on the tarmac, then looks through the vehicle.

What works here:

• The risk comes first. A burning aircraft tug makes the cost clear before any product appears.
• An X-ray view shows the system already fitted in the engine bay, with detection built in.
• The dual-agent idea gets a part each: BC dry powder for fast knockdown, and wet chemical to cool the engine and stop reignition.

The move: Show the failure, then look through the same machine with your product inside. If the viewer can't see where it's fitted, they'll ask on the sales call.

Ecovacs' short launch film for the DEEBOT X1 OMNI sells one idea: hands-free cleaning. A ghosted OMNI Station shows the jobs it does by itself.

What works here:

• The station turns see-through: a self-emptying dustbin, automatic water refill and a self-cleaning mop, one after another.
• The robot moves next, along glowing path lines that stand for its mapping.
• The YIKO voice assistant gets a visual cue, so voice control is shown without a line of dialogue.

The move: In a short cut, make one shell transparent and show 3 jobs inside it. If you need a fourth, make a second film.

Ryco's 29-second film sells an air filter, a routine maintenance part. It ghosts the engine first, then takes the filter housing apart.

What works here:

• The engine goes transparent before the filter appears. The viewer sees what's being protected.
• Then the housing comes apart to show the filter's OEM-level fit.
• Narration and on-screen text say the same thing at the same time: engine protection, less wear and dust-holding capacity.

The move: If you sell a small part, show the expensive thing it protects first. If the part appears before the machine, the stakes are missing.

Automotive Art Paints introduces the ADAM5 spectrophotometer, a device that identifies car paint color. Here the X-ray goes through the paint, not the device.

What works here:

• A digital scan peels back a car's paint layers, with holographic data overlays on top.
• The arc runs from uncertainty to a clear match, which is the whole job of a paint shop's color check.
• A dark, high-contrast set keeps the eye on the scan.

The move: If your product reads something invisible, make the reading visible in one layered shot. If the data floats with no object under it, it won't land.

Maxcess presents the Fife SmartDrive Actuator for automated edge and center guiding. The film takes the unit apart, then puts it back together.

What works here:

• The teardown names the parts that matter: an absolute position encoder, a built-in servo center and a maintenance-free brushless motor.
• Stroke lengths up to 400mm put a number on the range.
• Reassembly leads into setup: a touchscreen, built-in networking and Fife DSE-Series sensors. A dual-rail power supply allows a safe E-stop.

The move: End the rebuild on the first screen your buyer's technician will touch. If the film stops at the closed casing, setup is still a question.

This 44-second film for the AOC AM400 monitor arm opens the arm to show its gas spring, then closes it and moves it. It was posted by the Meraki Hype channel, not by AOC.

What works here:

• The exploded view exposes the gas spring, the part that makes every adjustment feel light.
• Disassembly runs straight into reassembly, then into height, tilt, swivel and rotation.
• Single and dual setups, silver and black finishes and cable management finish the case.

The move: After the parts close up, show the first motion they make possible. If the rebuilt product just sits there, the rebuild proved nothing.

ASUS sells the ExpertCenter P500 Mini Tower to businesses. The chassis opens without tools, and that's the selling point for an IT team.

What works here:

• The teardown shows tool-free access to the Intel Core i7 processor, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX GPU and DDR5 RAM.
• Airflow is drawn inside the case, so the cooling claim has a picture.
• Security and durability follow: TPM 2.0 through ASUS ExpertGuardian, AI ExpertMeet transcription and MIL-STD 810H tests.

The move: If your buyer's IT team maintains the hardware, open it without tools on screen. If the film needs a screwdriver, show how long the job takes.

ROG's film for the 2025 Strix G16/18 gaming laptops runs on one line: “Victory, accelerated.” The teardown shows cooling, chips and how fast a gamer can upgrade.

What works here:

• The core is named part by part: an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU and an end-to-end vapor chamber.
• On-screen text calls it “PIT STOP LIKE UPGRADEABILITY”: tool-less access to memory and storage.
• Rapid cuts and a full-surround RGB lightbar keep the tone loud for a gaming buyer.

The move: Name the upgrade in a picture your buyer already knows, the way ROG borrows the pit stop. If your service story has no picture, borrow one.

Enermax shows the LL30 PC case to builders who'll fill it themselves. Exploded views answer the builder's first question: will my parts fit?

What works here:

• Clearances get numbers: radiators from 120mm to 360mm and graphics cards up to 375mm.
• Build details follow: a removable HDD cage, a detachable PSU side cover and anti-dust plugs for the I/O ports.
• ARGB lighting gets its own scene: 13 preset effects and a hub for up to 6 devices.

The move: If your buyer assembles around your product, put the clearance numbers on the parts. If they'd need a ruler after watching, add the number.

Phoenix Contact shows its electronics housings with touch displays and keypads, from online design to assembled unit. This upload comes from Proax Technologies, not Phoenix Contact's own channel.

What works here:

• A ghosted housing shows the PCB and connectors placed by the online configurator.
• The touch displays and membrane keypads come alive with interface screens and icon menus.
• Then the services: mechanical processing, printing and pre-assembly, so engineers receive a finished housing.

The move: If your buyer configures the product before buying, show the configuration, then the assembled result. If the two don't match on screen, they'll doubt the fit.

Invacare's Softform Premier Active 2 is a hybrid mattress for pressure injury care. The exploded view separates reactive foam from active air cells. This upload comes from DHCare, not Invacare.

What works here:

• The layers come apart: teardrop castellated foam over an alternating air cell system.
• Care staff get their own scene: replaceable modular parts and firm side walls for patient transfer.
• Independent testing by Berlin Cert sits on screen as the proof.

The move: If your buyer replaces parts in the field, show which module comes out and how. If your exploded view never shows a swap, it's decoration.

Sony's film for the MDR-MV1 open-back studio monitor headphones opens the earcup, then opens the room. Spatial audio becomes a studio you can see.

What works here:

• The exploded view shows the open-back acoustic structure and a specially developed driver unit.
• Then the job: sound sources become color-coded spheres around the listener in a holographic studio.
• The close is about long sessions: comfortable ear pads and a 223g weight, for mixing away from the studio.

The move: After you open the product, show the job it makes possible in the same visual language. If the use scene looks like a different film, join them.

Epson America's product tour covers the SureColor F9570 and F9570H dye-sublimation printers. At 3:19, it moves from the inside to the output, one feature at a time.

What works here:

• Ghosting reveals the internal mechanics, and dimension overlays show how compact the body is.
• Uptime gets its own parts: high-capacity, hot-swappable ink packs, a user-replaceable printhead and a take-up unit.
• The close is the output and the fleet: 6-color UltraChrome DS ink, a 4.3-inch touch panel and print reporting through Epson Cloud Solution PORT.

The move: In a long tour, alternate one inside shot with one output shot. If two inside shots run back to back, cut one.

Rieter's film for the G 38 ring spinning machine builds the machine piece by piece on a white set, then runs it.

What works here:

• A procedural assembly peels back the layers to show the modular design.
• Then it runs. On-screen text promises “full flexibility for producing standard, compact and special yarns” and a “fast change of yarn parameters.”
• Glowing indicators trace the electronic drafting system, the part that makes the yarn change possible.

The move: Put your benefit on screen at the moment the machine runs. If the text arrives while the parts are still floating, it's too early.

MaxStrata's X7 electric scooter film shows the motor and battery inside, then the ride features around them.

What works here:

• The inside comes first: a 350W brushless motor and a removable lithium battery.
• Safety is a list of parts: inflatable tires for shock absorption, plus disc, electronic and foot brakes.
• Everyday use closes it: a front LED light, a 3-second fold, an IP54 waterproof grade and a digital display.

The move: Close on the action your buyer repeats every day, like a 3-second fold. If the last shot is the motor, the ride is missing.

IAI's film sells the Heron maritime drone for patrols over wide sea areas. The exploded view shows the sensors, then the sensors find a target.

What works here:

• The payload fans out: radar, electronic signal intelligence, day and night IR cameras, SatCom and an AIS receiver.
• 24-hour endurance turns that payload into persistent coverage.
• Then the job. The Starlight system layers the sensor data into one picture of the sea and flags a “suspected smuggling” contact.

The move: End on the one detection your buyer would act on. If the payoff is a map with no flag on it, the sensors haven't earned their scene.

Integrit's D.CORNIC is an AI concierge robot that runs on-device and cloud AI. The film opens the robot, then shows it recognize a person and respond.

What works here:

• Exploded views show the multi-modal sensor suite and the on-device AI, built on Qualcomm technology.
• Then it acts: facial recognition first, then a response from generative AI and LLM agents.
• The close widens to the platform, with media casting and the cloud-hybrid setup.

The move: If your product is AI in a box, show the box, then one decision it makes. If the AI only appears as glowing lines, show the decision instead.
