What a professional model maker does that a print shop can't

Built to last show after show.

We build each part from whatever serves it best: 3D printed plastic for shape and detail (we run more than 20 printers), and sheet metal, aluminum, steel or brass where the model needs strength. Our sheet-metal background means metal goes wherever it adds strength. Every model ships in a Pelican or custom case, ready for the next show and the one after.

Built to explain your product.

Cutaways, lighting, motion and interactive controls show what's invisible on a crowded show floor. We recently built a 6-foot interactive power grid for a networking company that responds to visitors in real time.

Built on your schedule.

We plan backward from your show date. In 60+ years, we have never missed one.
