From drawings to a model on the table

We work from your plans and elevations (DWG, DXF or PDF) to build models at the scale you need. Walls, roofs and windows are laser cut in card, MDF, ply and acrylic, and details such as features, trees, vehicles and figures are 3D printed. Models can be white “massing” style, natural timber, or coloured to show materials.

Who models are for

Architects and designers presenting to clients; planning applications and consultations; housing developers and estate agents with sales suites; self-builders and extension projects; heritage and community projects; and architecture and design students who need a hand with a portfolio piece.

Estate and site models

Development and estate layouts with plots, roads and landscaping, and site models with contours. Lift-off roofs and floors can show the layout inside. We can add clear acrylic cases and bases with engraved titles.
