Cutaway

A cutaway is a drawing or diagram that shows the interior details of an object by removing or "cutting away" a portion of its outer shell. This technique allows viewers to see inside components, mechanisms, or structures that are normally hidden, providing a clearer understanding of how the object works or is constructed. Cutaways are commonly used in technical illustrations, engineering, and education to visually communicate complex internal features without disassembling the entire object. They help bridge the gap between external appearance and internal functionality in a clear and informative way.
