Mining Engineering | 3D Visualisations




THE CHALLENGE
Our client, a global engineering firm that focuses on mining solutions, faced a critical issue. They struggled to visualise project outcomes for stakeholders clearly. This was crucial for bidding submissions and project buy-ins, especially for those without expertise in interpreting technical schematics. Additionally, their engineers and draftsmen found it challenging to present a comprehensive view of projects due to the complexity of technical drawings. This often led to a narrow perspective of their projects leading to inefficiencies and costly revisions later on.
STRATEGIC APPROACH
In addressing the client’s challenges, we collaborated closely with their engineers and drafters to craft detailed 3D animations and video edits of schematic solutions. These ranged from equipment needs to on-site expansion which visualised proposed equipment on the actual site, highlighting upgrades, integration with existing infrastructure.
By converting technical drawings into precise 3D content, we accurately depicted complex processes in a real-world setting. This approach provided a clear understanding of spatial relationships, proportions, and an overall project overview allowing for the identification of potential issues and optimised solutions before physical prototyping, saving both time and cost. The custom-built 3D assets were also added to a library for use on other digital platforms and future applications, including both AR and VR.
IMPACTFUL DELIVERY
- Enabling the client to present their technical solutions clearly, making complex processes understandable to a wider audience, including those without technical expertise.
- Visually engaging media assets that assisted during stakeholder engagements and procuring tender bids.
- The 3D-rendered schematics leveraged for marketing and promotional activities, helping to attract several new clients.
- Engineers gaining fresh insights into their designs, whilst finding more efficient ways to complete projects. These new perspectives facilitated a more innovative thought process, offering solutions that were previously unavailable.
Our approach not only met but exceeded the client’s expectations, driving tangible improvements and opening new avenues for their growth.
