Anything can be made by the latest 3D scale modelling techniques, it doesn’t matter whether we’re talking about marine models, air crafts or automobiles, a scaled model can be created using state of the art techniques and processes – the ultimate design and construction tools.
The art of accurate 3D solid scaled modelling and the latest techniques mean that CAD data can be quickly and easily up-scaled or down-scaled in a matter of seconds before being used by skilled model makers to create accurate products using the latest CNC milling techniques, turning, SLS, SLA, vacuum casting, rapid prototyping, metal casting and RIM moulding allowing even the finest of details to be fully incorporated on both the smaller and the larger scaled models meaning both fabulous accuracy and a quick turnaround time.
The best scale model makers in the business can then hand finish the complete models, painting, metal plating or doing whatever else is necessary to give the client the whole picture. One extremely cost effective method of scale modelling utilizes a 3D laser scanner on the exact item in need of up-scaling or down-scaling for quick and accurate results.
If there is no such original full size piece available for the re-scaling technique a skilled 3D CAD worker can then design and create the 3D model to suit the requirements of the client.
So why do people need scaled models? Well, there are a variety of reasons why a client may need a scaled model of their prototype or product; one is for promotion and exhibition purposes. Some clients need a down-scaled model of something particularly large or even an up-scaled model of something which, in real life is necessarily quite small but can be used for marketing purposes when created on a much larger scale to stand out in the crowd.
