3D Rendering in Mechanical Product Design

3D rendering of a mechanical product can not only add realistic lighting, shadows, textures, colors, etc., but also allow creative designers the flexibility to create an abstract mechanical render for showcasing products in a contemporary fashion.

Advantages of Using 3D Rendering for Mechanical Product Design

There is a reason why more than 90% mechanical design engineers turn to 3D rendering tools for high-quality mechanical product design. 3D rendering takes a long time, and requires sophisticated hardware which can work continuously for months, and in some cases, even years! But the end result - a polished, high-quality render, ensures the hard work translates into functional and aesthetically pleasing product designs. Mechanical product 3D rendering can -

The Future of 3D Rendering Technology in Mechanical Product Design

For over a decade, the only real challenge faced by 3D rendering was the raw power of the hardware platform, as the process requires expensive, tough-to-maintain CPU's and graphic processors. However, recent advances in 3D rendering technology are ensuring that the traditional, complicated workflow of 3D mechanical rendering is challenged by real-time rendering engines and more powerful, intuitive software.

NVIDIA is currently pushing graphics cards which can leverage the power of the GPU to render faster images, while supporting 24GB of VRAM, a standard unheard of even 2 years ago. Others are following suit as well such as Chaos V-Ray RT, cebas finalRender, Otoy Octane Render, etc. Cloud-based rendering is also finding a new foothold with the help of tools such as Zync, which leverages both local and cloud rendering for speedier result.

In its simplest form, 3D rendering can be likened to photography, or even cinematography, wherein lighting and scene staging allows a 3D image to come to life. While many confuse 3D rendering for 3D modeling, there are subtle differences between the two. Also, a creator has a large amount of creative control while using 3D rendering to showcase how a particular product or scene is 3D rendered and projected onto the screen.
