Work
Samples from client films.
A few seconds from each film, a small sample of what we make: surgery, prosthetics and components up close. Every client stays anonymous, every name under NDA.

Geometry
Every feature measured against your drawing.
Your R&D will spot a wrong pitch at a glance, so we check first. They sign the check sheet before a single frame is animated.
- Microthreads: 4-start, pitch 0.40 mm
- Macro thread: 2-start, pitch 0.80, lead 1.60 mm
- Apical flutes: 3, at 120°
- Apex: rounded, implant length 11.5 mm

Signed: Your R&DDate
Every project starts with a sheet like this, signed by your R&D.
Visualisation check only. Not design verification under ISO 13485 or 21 CFR 820, and not for manufacturing or regulatory use.
No usable CAD? We rebuild it from your drawings, and you keep it.

Also on request, storyboarded first: zygomatic and pterygoid protocols, GBR, guided surgery, kits and instruments. Ask about yours
Live 3D
Try it.
This is a deliverable.
Turn it, take it apart, cut it open. The model we build for your film becomes a viewer like this one.

REF-1 is our own concept implant, not a commercial product.
Drag to turn; Ctrl or ⌘ plus scroll, or a pinch, zooms. Arrow keys turn and tilt the model, plus and minus zoom, Home resets the view.
Who builds it
Built from your drawings,
or from clear photos.
We model every part from zero in true 3D, from your CAD, drawings and engineering data, or from clear photos.
From dental manufacturing.
Our modellers and animators come from dental-product manufacturing. They know the parts they animate.
Hundreds of projects.
Our animators work closely with dentists and dental technicians, including on complex surgery: zygomatic and pterygoid implants, sinus lifts.
Names under NDA.
Complex animations for some of the world’s leading implant brands. We can’t name them or show the work.
What you get
One checked library. Every format.
We build your system once, as a clean 3D library signed off by your R&D. Every film, loop, still and viewer is cut from it, so the next diameter or market starts from approved geometry.
Cut-downs
- 15, 30 and 60-second edits
- In 9:16, 1:1 and 4:5
- Captions burned in for silent feeds
Booth and LED loops
- Loops with no visible cut
- Built to your stand’s pixel map
- 50 or 60 fps, HAP or ProRes
Stills
- Hero stills up to 8K
- Transparent cut-outs for print
- A still from every key shot
Interactive 3D
- GLB and USDZ, ready for AR
- For your website and sales tablets
- Exploded and section views
Files you own
- The signed geometry check sheet
- A clean 3D library of your system
- Scene-file handover and usage rights agreed in writing
Every project includes
- We work from your CAD at no extra cost
- An NDA before any file
- A fixed written quote before we start
- Accuracy fixes free, never counted as a round
How we work
Five gates, signed
by your reviewers.
We agree the dates and approvers for every gate, so nothing goes to final render until they sign.
Gate1
Geometry
Approved by:
- Your R&D
We measure your CAD against your drawing. Your R&D signs the check sheet.
Gate2
Script and claims
Approved by:
- Marketing
- Clinical
- Regulatory
Every line of script and on-screen text is tied to a claim ID.
Gate3
Storyboard
Approved by:
- Clinical
- Regulatory
Every protocol step, timed in an animatic. Implied claims are flagged here.
Gate4
Style frames
Approved by:
- Brand
Materials, light and brand look, approved as stills.
Gate5
Final film
Approved by:
- All reviewers
Your reviewers approve the final film before we prepare the agreed masters and cut-downs.
Dates and review windows are agreed for your project before work starts.
Claims stay yours. Text and voice-over come only from your approved copy, and every storyboard frame carries a claim ID.
Who does the work. Our modellers and animators come from dental-product manufacturing. They know the parts they animate.
Pricing
Send us another studio’s quote.
We aim to give you a fixed quote for the same spec at less than half their price. If we can’t, we’ll say so.
Why no price list? A fixed quote for your system is more useful than a rate card written for someone else’s.
Where the savings come from
Dental only
Our team comes from dental manufacturing, so the parts and procedures are familiar from the start.
Built from your CAD
Your production CAD gives us the starting geometry. We check it against your drawing before building the film.
Geometry signed first
Your R&D signs the geometry before animation starts, so fixes happen on a check sheet, not in a re-render.
No middle layer
Discuss the brief with the specialists building your film, so technical questions reach the people doing the work.
The comparison stays honest: the same runtime, deliverables, revisions and rights.
No quote to compare? Send your brief and we’ll prepare a fixed quote for your scope.
We compare the same runtime, deliverables, revision rounds and rights, excluding VAT and travel from both quotes. Send your email first; we arrange the NDA before you share the quote or your CAD.
Your files
Your CAD,
step by step.
Your production CAD may be pre-launch and pre-clearance. We agree how it will be handled before you send it.

FAQ
Questions your reviewers will ask.
Do you work from our CAD? What if we only have drawings?
Yes. Send STEP, Parasolid or native CAD; a defeatured file is fine for anything off camera. Only drawings? We rebuild the part, your R&D signs it off, and you keep the clean model.
How do you protect an unreleased product?
Under NDA, from the first file. Before transfer, we agree who can access the files, the transfer method and retention or deletion terms. Reviews use video, not CAD. Portfolio use needs your written consent.
Read our security practicesWill the film say or show anything we haven’t approved?
No. On-screen text and voice-over come only from your approved copy. Your clinical lead signs the protocol sheet, and any visual that could imply a claim is flagged for your reviewers before it is animated.
How do revisions work, and what if our design changes?
Your quote sets the revision rounds and correction terms. A round is one consolidated list from all your reviewers. Design changes after the script gate are quoted before we start them.
How long does it take?
We agree the schedule after reviewing your scope, source files and reviewers’ availability. Each gate and the final delivery have a date in your project agreement. We also confirm the free test render’s delivery date before starting.
What does a film cost?
It depends on runtime, deliverables and rights. We review your brief and give you a fixed written quote. Already have another studio’s quote? We compare the same spec, with no scope cut to lower the price.
Can you quote less than half another studio’s price?
That is our aim for the same scope and spec. Send the quote under NDA and we’ll check the runtime, deliverables, revision rounds and rights. If we can’t quote less than half, we’ll say so.
Who owns the films and the 3D files?
We agree usage rights and file handover in writing before work starts. Your agreement identifies the films, 3D files and editable scenes you receive, plus any third-party licences for music, fonts or voice-over.
Is REF-1, the implant on this page, a real product?
No. REF-1 is our demonstration design: tapered, bone-level, Ø4.0 × 11.5 mm, with a 20° conical connection (10° per side) and a hex index. It is a visual example, not a commercial implant or a clinical specification.
Free test render
Judge us on your own part first.
Send one component from your own CAD (a released product is fine). We agree the brief and delivery date under NDA. You get:
- A 4K still of your part
- A 5-second turntable
- Our geometry check sheet: drawing vs model
- Yours to keep, whatever you decide
NDA before any file
Step 1 of 2We’d like to walk you through the result on a 20-minute call, with whoever will judge it. If we’re full, we’ll tell you the next start date.
