Engineering Real Machinery into Masterpieces

Building high-end industrial cutaways takes a blend of precision machining and pure craftsmanship. At Techcom Inc, we start every project by reviewing your CAD files or breaking down the actual equipment you want to showcase. You cannot fake the internal complexity of a heavy-duty gearbox or a complex hydraulic pump. That is why we use genuine OEM components whenever possible, stripping away housing walls with laser-guided CNC milling and waterjet cutting to expose the inner workings.

Balancing Aesthetics with Mechanical Integrity

Exposing internal gears, fluid channels, and actuator pistons requires structural re-engineering. Our team designs custom internal framing to support unsupported components once the outer casing is removed. We often integrate variable-speed electric motors and custom gear reductions so the working demonstrators operate smoothly at slow, hypnotic speeds. Every surface gets prepped, primed, and finished with industrial-grade coatings or color-coded paints to help viewers instantly trace fluid flow and mechanical power transfer during a live product demonstration.

What is an industrial cutaway?

An industrial cutaway is a physical piece of machinery or equipment with sections of its outer housing removed to reveal the internal mechanical components, fluid paths, and moving parts.

How long does it take to build a custom equipment cutaway?

Most projects at Techcom Inc take between six to twelve weeks, depending on the complexity of the machinery, whether you supply the donor unit, and if you require motorized operation.

Can cut-away trainers be built to operate under power?

Yes, we frequently integrate low-RPM electric drives, internal lighting, and clear protective guarding so mechanical cutaway models run safely during live events.

Are tradeshow display cutaways heavy to transport?

We engineer our tradeshow display cutaways using lightweight internal framing and supply custom heavy-duty transit cases to keep shipping weights manageable.

Key Industries That Benefit from Custom Cutaways

• Aerospace and Defense: Turn complex turbine assemblies, landing gear systems, and avionics housings into accessible visual tools for training and procurement.
• Automotive and Heavy Equipment: Showcase engine blocks, transmissions, and suspension components for engineering reviews or marketing events.
• Fluid Power and Hydraulics: Make valves, pumps, and manifold blocks transparent to demonstrate fluid dynamics and internal sealing technology.
• Oil, Gas, and Energy: Transport scale models of downhole tools, valves, and turbine systems directly to client offices and energy expos.
• Industrial Manufacturing: Simplify complex automation gear, robotic actuators, and conveyor systems for plant floor training and investor pitches.

Techcom Inc designs and builds custom industrial cutaways, working demonstrators, and mechanical display models that turn complex machinery into clear, engaging visual tools for engineering training and sales.
