M-CUBE

CGI product video

For CORI I told the story of the M-CUBE laser marking machine without a single camera shot: machine, parts, beam and settings are modelled, lit and animated in 3D, then edited with type and music.

From technical drawing to product

The starting point was the machine’s CAD model. I rebuilt it in Blender as a render-ready model: painted casing, perforated bed, control panel, marking head with its light.

One feature, one shot

The video follows the machine’s spec sheet: fibre or MOPA source from 20 to 100 W, a 285 × 690 mm positioning bed, a head moving vertically and horizontally, the rotary axis for 360° marking. Each feature gets its own scene and caption, and the camera moves in until the beam touches the part.

The beam is the light

In the close-ups the room stays dark and the red beam is the key light: it lights the part while marking it. With the rotary axis the bottle turns under the head and the lettering appears all the way round.

The rotary axis: 360° marking

From factory to workshop

In the finale the machine leaves the studio for two settings built for the purpose, with warm light and worn materials: an “Industry 4.0” floor and a craft workshop. The same machine, two different customers.
