Although 3D modeling and 3D animation are the basic components of any 3D visualization, the term Visualization in Digital Design is used to integrate a larger number of individual models into the predefined space.

3D visualization is widely used in all types of projects. The basic idea is that any object can be displayed and presented at any stage of production, sometimes before the very beginning of the design. They are most often used in architectural, engineering and mechanical projects where large precision measures and calculations are required.
