Cutaway: How Things Work 3D - a 3D explorer that lets you slice machines open to see what is inside

Wait 5 sec.

I kept pulling things apart as a kid and never quite got the answer I wanted, because a manual only shows you one exploded view of one part at a time. Cutaway is my attempt to make that answer interactive: pick a machine, slice it on any axis, and watch the inside open up while you rotate it. The part that took the longest was not the models but keeping the slicing honest on a phone. Every cut has to stay readable at arm's length, so surfaces stay solid instead of turning into wireframe soup, and the labels have to point at real components rather than float in space. It runs entirely offline on Android, no account needed. I am still adding machines, so if there is an object you always wanted to see opened up, that is the most useful feedback I can get.
