Sintavia Case Study

How Yum Yum Videos Helped Sintavia Explain Advanced Additive Manufacturing — Supporting a $106.7M DoD Contract

Sintavia’s growth story was supported by a 3D explainer video that simplified its highly technical additive manufacturing process for aerospace and defense stakeholders, industry partners, and government agencies.


History

In 2023, Yum Yum Videos produced a custom 3D explainer video for Sintavia, supporting its communication strategy during a key phase of growth that included major U.S. Navy qualifications and the award of a $106.7M U.S. Department of Defense contract for hypersonic propulsion components.

Results

Our collaboration with Sintavia coincided with a period of major aerospace and defense growth:

$106.7M

2024

Awarded a U.S. Department of Defense GAMMA-H contract to develop 3D-printed hypersonic propulsion components.

Throughout this period, Yum Yum Videos’ explainer served as a communication asset that helped make Sintavia’s highly technical additive manufacturing capabilities easier to understand across industry, defense, and government audiences.

About
Sintavia

Sintavia is a pioneering additive manufacturer for the aerospace and defense industries. Its advanced manufacturing capabilities are powerful but highly technical — requiring clear, precise communication to engage industry partners, defense stakeholders, and government agencies.




The
Challenge


1. Simplify a highly technical additive manufacturing process.

2. Build credibility and trust with defense partners and government agencies.

3. Communicate complex capabilities consistently across partners, media, and stakeholders.




Our
Solution

To meet these needs, Yum Yum Videos created a custom 3D explainer video for Sintavia.

The video explained how Sintavia’s advanced additive manufacturing process works, translating complex technical workflows into clear visual communication for aerospace, defense, and industry stakeholders.
