3D mounting videos for underfloor systems
Implemented as a 3D animation on behalf of the PUK Group
The PUK Group GmbH & Co. KG from Berlin wanted to present its newly developed screed-flush underfloor duct at the upcoming “Light & Building 2014” trade fair. Since the development time was somewhat longer, but the trade fair date was getting closer and closer, there were only a few days left to create an mounting video. The CAD data from the construction was imported into the Cinema 4D animation program, provided with textures and materials and visualized according to customer specifications. All assembly steps were gradually animated and put together into an mounting video.
High flexibility in the creation of 3D animation video
A special feature of this project was the fact that the exact mounting sequence was changed several times by the technicians during the video production. The high flexibility of a 3D animation came into its own here. Really shot videos could never have been changed again and again in this short time. The film team would have had to drive to the construction site several times, set up their equipment, pour concrete parts, tear out the screed and lay it again. In addition to the time factor, the production costs would also have exploded here. In the 3D animation program, this could all be changed again and again without great effort and within a short time. Until everyone involved was satisfied with the process.
Implementation of video production - 2014
Two days before the start of the fair, the process of the video was finally approved by the technicians and the marketing department. Overnight, the video could be calculated image for image in high resolution HD quality at an external render farm (association of several hundred computers). Thus, as planned, the mounting video could be presented to customers on a giant screen at the start of the trade fair.
Example 3D mounting video of floor boxes
This 3D animation video explains how installation units with sockets are built into the floor. The animation begins with the assembly of cable ducts on the raw concrete floor. Then it is visualized how screed is poured and carpeting is laid. An installation unit (also called a floor tank) made of plastic and stainless steel is inserted into the floor openings and screwed on using fastening sets. For the special purpose "heavy load - can be driven over" at the end of the 3D animation, a stainless steel cassette is installed in a car dealership and driven over with a truck.

Contact nowFAQ – Frequently Asked Questions About 3D Mounting Videos for Underfloor Systems
Why are 3D mounting videos particularly useful for underfloor systems and floor boxes?
Underfloor systems contain multiple components that become hidden after installation, such as cable ducts, floor tanks, fastening sets and screed layers. A 3D mounting video can visualize every installation step and reveal components that would no longer be visible in a real construction environment.
Can a 3D mounting video still be adapted if the installation process changes during product development?
Yes. One major advantage of CAD-based 3D animation is its flexibility. If technicians modify assembly sequences or construction details during development, the animation can be updated quickly without repeating expensive filming, demolition or reconstruction work.
Why are 3D mounting videos suitable for trade fair product launches?
When physical prototypes are not yet fully available, a 3D mounting video can already demonstrate the complete installation process. This allows manufacturers to present new products professionally at trade fairs, sales events and customer presentations even under tight development schedules.
Can heavy-duty floor systems and special installation scenarios be shown in a 3D animation?
Absolutely. Special applications such as floor systems designed for heavy vehicle traffic can be visualized realistically. The animation can demonstrate not only the installation process but also how the finished system performs under real operating conditions.
Why do manufacturers often combine assembly videos with printed installation instructions?
Printed instructions provide a quick reference during installation, while a 3D mounting video delivers a much clearer understanding of complex assembly steps. Combining both formats creates a comprehensive documentation package that supports installers and reduces assembly errors.
