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 [...]
Scoreboard
Here we were asked to create an unusual model representing a unique scoreboard. Because of the size and weight of this model, much care was given to the support structure. This prototype showed the unusually shaped speakers on the corners. The panels representing the LCD screens were removable to reveal the superstructure. It was important [...]
Personal Device
A product design firm requested this model. We did not get information on all of it’s functions but I was told that it is built to help blind people. We create the accurate shapes of any prototype and are often not given (or required to keep secret) many of the functions of the product itself. [...]
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 [...]
