Technical animation
For internal movement, cycle sequence, cutaway explanation, product function or complex process storytelling.
IMTS 2026 · Chicago · Premium booth visual readiness
Bring complex machines to IMTS without bringing the full machine.
Tridum VISTA 360 helps manufacturing exhibitors turn complex machines, automation cells and technical workflows into booth-ready 3D animations, VR demos, AR experiences, configurators and visual sales assets.
Early IMTS project support
20% Early Bird
Social value allocation
10% Contribution
Make the booth easier to understand before the visitor walks away.
Start with one product, machine or technical workflow. We will help map how it should be shown at IMTS and reused after the event.
Request IMTS Visual Readiness Audit
Booth-ready
Screen loops, tablet demos, VR scenes and sales follow-up assets built around one technical story.
Engineering-grade
Designed from product logic, CAD data, available references and the way technical buyers evaluate systems.
Buyer-friendly
Built to help visitors understand faster, ask better questions and remember the product after the show.
“
If a visitor needs ten minutes to understand your product, the booth is already working too hard.
At IMTS, complex manufacturers rarely lose attention because the engineering is weak. They lose attention because the product story is hard to see, hard to explain and hard to remember in a crowded hall.
01
The full machine may be impossible to bring.
Large systems, automation cells and factory environments often cannot be demonstrated physically on the booth.
02
The best use case may be hidden inside the process.
Motion paths, internal components, safety logic and cycle sequences are difficult to explain through brochures alone.
03
Sales teams need one consistent technical story.
Visual assets help product, marketing, sales and training teams explain the same value clearly.
04
The asset should not die after the show.
The same 3D asset system can support post-show follow-ups, dealer training, website pages and client presentations.
Campaign offer
IMTS Visual Readiness Audit + premium early project support.
We review one product, machine, system or process you plan to showcase and recommend the right visual route: technical animation, VR, AR, configurator, booth showreel or a combined asset package.
Commercial support
20% Early Bird
Available for eligible IMTS 2026 visualisation projects confirmed before the campaign cut-off date.
Social value
10% Contribution
A social value allocation from eligible project value, directed toward an agreed charitable or community initiative.
What the free audit gives you
- Best-fit visual format for your IMTS product story
- Booth-use concept for screens, tablets, VR or sales demos
- Suggested content flow or mini-script
- Indicative production route and timeline
- Post-show reuse plan for sales and marketing
Final eligibility, deadline and contribution mechanics should be confirmed in the proposal.
Proof direction
Examples of what this could look like.
Use real Tridum stills, project screenshots or anonymised case visuals here to show the quality of the visual output before the prospect reaches the form.
VR booth demo
For showing a complete machine, factory cell or operating environment that cannot be physically brought to the booth.
Interactive configurator
For helping visitors explore variants, options, layouts, components and product choices without a static brochure.
Booth asset system
One technical story. Multiple premium trade-show formats.
The strongest IMTS visual plan usually combines attraction, explanation and follow-up assets rather than relying on one standalone video.
Booth showreel
High-impact looping screen visuals for LED walls, booth screens and walk-by attention.
Sales explanation asset
A focused technical animation or interactive asset for product explanation during conversations.
Post-show reuse kit
Short cuts, stills and reusable visuals for follow-up emails, sales decks, website sections and training.
Timing logic
Do not leave booth visuals until the booth is already designed.
For complex engineering visuals, the biggest risk is late production. Product story, CAD readiness, review cycles and final booth deployment all need time.
Check readiness
Now–March 2026
Define the product story, decide the visual format and identify available CAD, references or product data.
April–June 2026
Produce 3D animation, VR/AR scenes, configurator logic and booth screen assets.
July–August 2026
Review, refine, test on booth hardware, cut screen loops and prepare sales-team usage.
September 2026
Deploy at IMTS and use the same story across booth demos, QR follow-ups and client presentations.
After IMTS
Turn event visuals into sales enablement, website content, dealer training and product launch assets.
Best fit
Built for exhibitors with products that are hard to explain quickly.
This is not for simple commodity products. It is for companies where visual clarity can directly improve booth conversations and buyer understanding.
01
Automation systems
Cells, robotics, material handling, inspection, sorting and assembly workflows.
02
Machine tools
Machines with internal movement, process logic, hidden value or complex operation.
03
Industrial equipment
Large products that are expensive, impractical or impossible to demonstrate physically.
04
Component manufacturers
Products where performance, fitment, internal design or use-case context needs explanation.
Request audit
Send one product or system. We will map the visual route.
Use this as a low-friction first step. The audit should qualify whether the prospect needs 3D animation, VR, AR, a configurator, a booth showreel or a combined system.
Best for: complex manufacturing products that are difficult to explain quickly.
Primary buyer: product marketing, sales enablement, marketing directors, product managers and technical training leaders.
Audit output: format recommendation, booth concept, rough content flow, timeline and reuse plan.
FAQ
Important questions before production starts.
Is the 20% Early Bird Offer for every project?
No. It should apply only to eligible IMTS 2026 projects confirmed before your chosen cut-off date. Add the final deadline and eligibility rules before publishing.
How should the 10% Social Value Contribution be worded?
Keep it precise. A safer version is that Tridum will allocate a contribution from eligible project value toward an agreed charitable or community initiative. Confirm whether the basis is gross invoice value, net project value or profit before launch.
Can this work without CAD files?
Yes, but the project scope changes. CAD, STEP or STL files help accuracy and speed. If those are not available, references, drawings, photos and brochures may be used to model the product.
Should this replace the existing trade-show page?
No. The existing trade-show page should remain the evergreen service page. This IMTS page should operate as a campaign-specific landing page for exhibitors and prospects connected to IMTS 2026.
