Not every transportation model is about highway redesigns. This is the Thor truck, an emergency 911 vehicle model. The problem with natural disasters is that they tend to take down the very services that were put in place to protect us. This mobile emergency services truck can be deployed to a disaster site to keep [...]
Prototype model of shoe
We built this model for a light boot design for Solomon Boot Co. This prototype required that it be made of material in a very specific density and flexibility. After building the original model, we made a two part mold and cast the sole in a urethane that had the required properties.
Microchip
The problem with Microchips is mostly the MICRO part. In order to show the design and fit of their chips this client had us build several product models in a HUGE scale that can be shown to investors.
Sunglasses
Here are a few of the dozens of model we have done for Suncloud sunglasses. Many different techniques were employed including creating brass fittings, sculpting acrylic frames. creating RTV molds and making rubberized urethane model components. After being used as display models for the marketing department, these product prototypes were brought to the orient to [...]
Wind Turbine Models
The green revolution is here. We are creating the display models that help to fuel that revolution. These wind turbine models disassemble and pack up safely in a handy case to take to investor meetings and demonstrations. Several options are shown with interchangeable supports and blades. As a prototype model, this has been a valuable [...]
Shade Screens
This product prototype was created to help the home buyer visualize a custom canopy for their deck. We cut several versions on our laser cutters out of durable material and painted them to create the proper patina. The prototypes represent a copper sheet that create dappled light when installed in a garden. These marketing models [...]
Shower Part
We are asked to build many small equipment model parts. I do not know what this does but the model is part of a shower assembly. This was grown on our 3D printer and sent to the client unfinished. A quick, cheap form and function model.
Mold Section
This shape looks simple but this subtle form is a section of a larger concrete pond layout. We cut this negative part our of urethane so that it could be molded in layered concrete as a proof of concept model. Our client makes huge concrete installations and needed a very specific shape to show the [...]
Movie Prop
Here is a unique pattern for a unique purpose. The design embossed on this acrylic disk represents alien communication. The shape is being used in a movie by being pressed into soil and onto leaves to foreshadow the fact that extraterrestrials are among us. The film is currently in production and I can’t tell you [...]
Nuclear Parts
We get calls for emergency models and this was such a case. These prototypes parts were needed for a Monday meeting and we were given the call the Thursday before. This was one of those “drop everything and get this done” situations. The shapes are interesting and I have no idea how these prototypes were [...]
