Semiconductor single crystal silicon ingot puller

Built this 3d model of a crystal silicon ingot puller from scratch in Blender for ifm efector USA. It was used to showcase the companies sensors and information for product marketing on the web. This machine uses the Czochralski process of crystal growth to obtain single-crystal ingots of semiconductors (e.g. silicon, germanium and gallium arsenide)
