Back on the days it was hard to get real good quality content for students, specially on 3D models and unit operations & plants. All was either a drawing or picture in a book OR a low quality video on YouTube.
Now, you can get very cool quality 3D Models from Sketchfab for FREE. It will allow you to interact, and check out how the units are designed, which parts are included outside and inside the equipment and more importantly, explore other related units!
I will be including a list of related 3D Models in my courses! This will add some value to my students 🙂
Next, we have several “cool” 3D Models. Check them out!
Several Unit Operations and plant layouts are shown here. It is also great to note that the user can add “notes” such as in the Shell & Tube Exchange.
This is great for further notes and remarks.
Example of cost for a single 3D animation.
They may seem expensive, but it requires lots of work to make one!
Note that most of these are made for the industry rather than for academia.
Models of equipment which may be “secret” in the company are very important to have! They will be able to show the operator or engineer how the unit operation is structured.
I hope you enjoyed this post! I think these 3D Models are great for study!Definitively worth a try and open some equipment for further reference.
