Blender

Open-source 3D creation suite for modeling, rendering, and visualization in hardware development workflows.

Overview

Blender provides professional-grade 3D modeling, rendering, and animation capabilities without licensing costs. We use it for product visualization, CAD rendering, marketing assets, and design communication alongside traditional mechanical CAD tools. Blender is trusted by major studios and technology companies—Apple, Microsoft, Adobe, Ubisoft, Epic Games, Wacom, and AMD sponsor the Blender Development Fund, and productions made with Blender include "Flow" (2024 Oscar winner for Best Animated Film), "I Lost My Body" (2019 Oscar nominee), and animation work on "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse."

Why This Technology Matters

Hardware companies need to communicate designs clearly—to clients, manufacturers, investors, and marketing teams. Blender bridges the gap between engineering CAD and visual presentation, enabling photorealistic renders, exploded views, and animations that show how products work without building physical samples.

Why You Need It

If your product requires professional visualization for marketing, investor presentations, or design communication, Blender delivers studio-quality results without software licensing costs. It's ideal for hardware companies that need photorealistic product renders, assembly animations, and technical illustrations to communicate designs effectively before physical prototypes exist.
