A steam turbine is rows of blades getting progressively longer as the steam expands, and that progression is invisible from outside the casing. The cross section is the whole argument of the model: split the casing, show the rotor with its blade stages, the diaphragms, the bearings and the steam path, and a machine that looks like a metal drum becomes something you can explain.
It runs 217,618 polygons and 238,154 vertices in quads and tris with non-overlapping UVs, and ships with 7 texture maps at 8192x8192. That texture resolution is unusual and deliberate: on a cutaway the cut faces, the machined surfaces and the labelling carry the explanation, so they have to hold at magnification.
At $139 it suits power engineering presentation, technical education and training, industrial marketing, trade show and investor material, and documentary work. On sale since 2019.
Questions About This Model
What file formats does the Cross Section of Steam Turbine 3D model come in?
The complete list of included formats is shown on the TurboSquid product page, where every file is named and sized before you buy. Native scene files and the common interchange formats are the usual pairing.
What should I search for to find models like the Cross Section of Steam Turbine?
Useful search terms are steam turbine cross section, turbine cutaway 3d model and power plant machinery. Browsing the Industrial Equipment category shows the closest alternatives at a range of prices.
What texture resolution ships with the Cross Section of Steam Turbine?
7 maps at 8192 x 8192, with yes, non-overlapping UVs. That is enough for close framing without resampling.
How heavy is the Cross Section of Steam Turbine mesh?
217,618 polygons and 238,154 vertices, built as polygonal quads/tris. Whether that fits depends on where it lands - an architectural still and a real-time walkthrough tolerate very different counts.
