3D application videos of connection technology

Simply presented with the help of animations

The Jordahl company specializes in high-quality and individual products for fastening technology, reinforcement technology, connection technology and facade fastening. In addition to several visualizations for a product catalog, 3D application videos of the assembly technology were also created.

3D application video of a connector plate for precast concrete parts

A 3D application video was created for a new connecting strap for the precast industry. With a new type of connecting strap, precast concrete parts such as columns can be connected to wall elements. This connection can both absorb high loads and also compensate for mounting tolerances.
These properties were presented as a 3D animated application video. The simple assembly of the connecting strap in prefabricated concrete parts is shown to advantage in the video.

Implementation of video production - 2016

Low production costs - quick implementation

The production costs for the 3D animated video are significantly lower than a real shot video. Especially the representation of the construction of a complete hall could be implemented very quickly thanks to the use of 3D visualization. A complete production hall is assembled in 3D in a very short time.

Surrounding scene - construction site

It was very important to the customer that the video played on a construction site scene. For this purpose, in addition to the production hall, construction cranes, containers, fences and other construction machines were used. This gives the video and the actual product visualization the necessary framework and rounds off the presentation.

Depth of field was used as a special technical feature in the animation. The focus is shifted to the product through the targeted, blurred display of background elements.

3D application video of mounting rails

The different application possibilities of mounting rails are visualized in this video. The first fastening solution shows how a mounting rail can be screwed to the wall with heavy-duty dowels. As a second option, the mounting rails can also be welded onto a metal carrier. As a special technical feature of the 3D animation, the flying sparks of the welding machine were animated here. Smoke rises, sparks fly.
At the end of the 3D video, a mounting rail with teeth is shown. A detailed view shows the inside of the rail. It shows how the teeth interlock. Such a representation can be optimally represented in 3D animations.

From the illustrated storyboard to the finished animation video

At the beginning of the animation creation there is a coordination with the customer. What should be shown? Which assembly steps are important? What should be explained in detail? All of these questions flow into a first rough brief description of the process. An illustrated storyboard is then created on this basis. In this storyboard, all important assembly steps are already shown as they can be seen in the later animation. As a customer, you can see in advance what the later video will look like and, if necessary, incorporate correction requests.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions about 3D Animation Videos for Connection Technology

Why are 3D animations particularly useful for explaining connection technology in precast concrete construction?

Connection systems for precast concrete elements often operate inside walls, columns and structural components where their functionality is difficult to see. A 3D animation can reveal these hidden connections and clearly demonstrate how loads are transferred and installation tolerances are compensated.

Can a 3D animation demonstrate different installation methods for the same product?

Yes. Multiple installation scenarios can be shown within a single animation. For example, mounting rails can be attached using heavy-duty anchors or welded to steel structures, allowing customers to understand different application possibilities and select the most suitable solution.

How can a 3D animation help explain load-bearing properties of connection components?

Animated visualizations can illustrate force transmission, structural positioning and installation sequences in a way that static drawings cannot. This helps engineers, planners and customers better understand the technical advantages of the connection system.

Why are construction site environments often used in 3D application videos?

Displaying products within a realistic construction site setting helps viewers immediately recognize where and how the system is used. Cranes, production halls, construction equipment and surrounding structures provide context and make the application scenario more relatable.

Can a 3D animation visualize product details that are difficult to film in reality?

Yes. Internal geometries, interlocking mechanisms, welded connections and hidden installation details can be shown using cutaway views, close-ups and transparent components. This allows technical features to be communicated far more effectively than with conventional video footage.
