Cutaway model
A cutaway model is an object that is partially cut open to illustrate its internal structure and how it works. Often the cut edges or individual functional areas are colored for better visibility. Cut-away models can be movable and can better illustrate the respective function through targeted lighting of individual areas, in an internal combustion engine, for example, through moving pistons, shafts and valves as well as ignition and combustion indicated by lighting.
In addition to original articles also often scale customized model used. These cutaway models are used not only in the technical but also in the medical field. When the latter is a simplified model, we speak often of a demonstration model .
