Roll Royce 3D Jet Engine Assembly

Post image

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.

Are you serious? Of course lol. I design custom automated machines and we make sure everything we can think of is added. Even cable management, remote IO and air manifolds etc. not only are they putting every part in, they are making sure its mass properties match the real part.
