Mainframe works with pharmaceutical, biotech, and healthcare brands to create design-led medical animation that brings clarity to complex science. We apply the same visual craft and discipline developed over 25 years in commercial CGI to 3D medical animation and pharmaceutical animation, producing work that is precise, confident, and designed to communicate clearly across audiences and channels.

Medical content often needs to speak to multiple groups at once, including HCPs, patients, internal teams, and investors, each with different knowledge and expectation. Our focus is on visual structure and hierarchy, shaping information so it can be understood quickly, accurately, and without unnecessary complication. Accuracy is essential, but it is design that determines whether information is absorbed, remembered, and trusted in medical education, HCP communication, and patient-facing content.

So are we…

What is more beautiful than engaging in the way things work and developing new ways to understand the world? 

We specialise in mechanism and mode of action animation, disease state visualisation, medical device demonstration, and scientific brand films. Our work is used across HCP education, patient communication, launch campaigns, investor presentations, and always-on content systems that can be adapted across markets and platforms. Rather than one-off assets, we often build scalable visual systems and asset libraries that allow medical teams and agencies to reuse and localise content while maintaining consistency, clarity, and alignment with scientific and brand narratives.

Below are examples of our experiments in the world of science visuals, including collaborations with innovative and visionary clients across healthcare, pharma, and technology who keep us moving forward…
