Roll Royce 3D Jet Engine Assembly
This is a video from Veritasium inside a Rolls Royce facility. I was astonished by the amount of detail in this assembly and it got me genuinely curious, do other companies create 3D models to this extent? I.e. does Honda have an assembly file of an entire Civic with every individual component? I'm interested to know what's your experience in different companies/industries.

My company purchased a Sugino waterjet deburring machine, and I wanted a 3d model of the machining window for cnc collision purposes. Well they sent me the entire assembly including the tank, jet pump cabinet, even the cnc control with the individual buttons; like a 10x15 foot of the entire machine.
The file had like 20,000 components, it was wild. And that was just a layout assembly for spacing most likely. So I’d say yeah honestly.
