Industrial visualization, priced in the open.
Real starting prices for every service, and a fixed quote before any work begins. If your budget is smaller than a number below, say so in your first email: there is almost always a version of the project that fits.
Machine and equipment rendering
Photoreal stills built from your CAD assembly, for catalogues, tenders, websites and trade show print. Every price below includes preparing your assembly (conversion, repair, simplification and materials), which on a machine of several thousand parts is the largest part of the work.
Pilot project
A low-risk way to test our quality on your own CAD before a larger project. Three photoreal renders of one component or compact product, white or grey studio background, one revision round, NDA included, delivered in 3 working days.
One per company. Full machine assemblies and lines are quoted at the standard rates below.
Single render
One machine, one view, with the CAD preparation included.

A complete visual set for one machine.
Five views of one machine
- Hero, three-quarter, front and two detail views
- Colour and guarding variants at $240 each

Extra colour or option
New RAL colour, guarding or configuration from the same model.
Cutaway still

Animation
Priced per film, not per hour. Industry guides put high-quality industrial animation at $5,000 to $20,000 per finished minute, and we quote inside that band. The saving comes on the second film, not the first: once a machine is prepared, every further film from it costs 20 to 40 per cent less.

2 to 4 weeks
Line or process film
The full process, infeed to outfeed.
60 seconds, one line

Cinematic launch film
The film that opens your show or press day.

Agreed case by case
CAD preparation
The step that decides the cost and quality of everything after it, and it is already included in every render and film price above. The prices here are for preparation on its own, when you want the clean, reusable models in your own hands as well.
Single machine preparation
Conversion, simplification and materials for one assembly.
Asset library setup
Up to five machines prepared with a shared material standard.
CAD assessment
Send one file and we report what is usable, free, before you commit.
Ongoing production
For manufacturers with a launch calendar, several shows a year, or a catalogue to rebuild.
Catalogue programme
Rebuild an entire product catalogue.
Per month, minimum six months
- Agreed monthly output plan
- Consistent standard across machines
- Priority scheduling before shows
- Quarterly review call
Rolling
Studio partner
A standing production slot.
Per month
- Renders, films and interactive in one queue
- Named producer and engineer
- Trade show planning included
- Model library maintained for you
Quarterly commitment
Enterprise
Multi-brand or multi-site programmes.
Under your MSA
- Framework agreement and NDA review
- Net-30 or net-60 invoicing
- Security and data handling review
- Volume pricing across all services
Agreed
Terms
Short and clear, so nothing surprises your purchasing department.
Confidentiality
NDA signed before files move. Work is never shown publicly without your written permission, and many of our projects stay unpublished.
Usage rights
On final payment you receive full, permanent, worldwide commercial rights to every delivered render, film and interactive asset, for any marketing, sales, training or documentation use, with no further fees.
Source files
The project files we build to produce them, meaning scene files, shaders, rigs and lighting setups, remain the studio’s working tools, as set out in our mutual NDA. Your own CAD data always stays yours and is deleted on written request.
Payment
Under $5,000: half to start, half before final files. Above that, staged 40, 30 and 30 against milestones. USD or EUR, purchase orders accepted. Invoices come from [email protected].
Revisions
Each quote states its revision rounds. A round is one consolidated set of changes within the agreed scope.
Deadlines
We plan backwards from your show or launch date and agree milestone dates in the quote. If a date is at risk we tell you immediately, not afterwards.
Smaller budgets
Tell us the number. We will propose the version that fits, or say honestly that we are not the right studio for it.
Pricing questions.
Why do you publish prices when most industrial studios do not?
Because engineers who are quietly researching suppliers want a number before they contact anyone. These are real starting prices, not bait. Complex machines are quoted individually and the quote explains why.
Can we start with a small test project first?
Yes. Our pilot project is for first-time clients: $800 for three photoreal renders of one component or compact product, built from your CAD, on a white or grey studio background, with one revision round and an NDA included, delivered in 3 working days. It is one per company. Full machine assemblies and lines are quoted at our standard rendering prices.
Our budget is smaller than these numbers. Should we still write?
Yes. Tell us the budget in the first email and we will tell you honestly what fits it, whether that is a single render, a short feature film instead of a full line film, or a phased plan across two years. We would rather scope to your budget than lose the conversation.
How do you compare with other industrial studios?
Published guides put high-quality industrial 3D animation at roughly $5,000 to $20,000 per finished minute, with professional companies often quoting $8,000 to $25,000 and small studios $3,000 to $7,000. We quote inside that range. What makes us different is not a lower rate but an engineer-led pipeline that works straight from your native CAD, and the fact that the engineering data we prepare is reused: every render or film after the first on a given machine costs 20 to 40 per cent less.
What is included in a fixed price?
CAD preparation, materials and lighting, the agreed deliverables, the revision rounds stated in the quote, and full commercial usage rights to those deliverables on final payment. Travel, licensed music beyond standard tracks and third-party voice talent are quoted separately.
How do you handle payment?
Projects under $5,000 are 50% to start and 50% before final files. Larger projects are staged 40, 30 and 30 against milestones. We invoice in USD or EUR and can work under your purchase order process.
Do prices change once we have a model on file?
Yes, downwards. Once your machine is prepared, later renders, films and interactive assets skip the most expensive step. Repeat projects are typically 20 to 40 per cent cheaper.
