I manufacturer and prototype mechanical parts for CNC , laser engraving and 3d printing machines.

I’d like to ask for animation to show how all the moving parts work in an assembly.

- One, so I can see if there are any parts that are going to crash into other parts and that all parts are going to work in with each other.

- Two, so I can show the actual part working to potential customers.

-Three, would be grate way for us to advertise our products on social media and web pages.
