The Model Shop
The Model Shop is where creativity meets precision. Our team specializes in creating detailed physical models and prototypes, serving as essential tools for proof-of-concept validation and licensing presentations. By utilizing materials such as foam, plastics, and resins, we produce prototypes that achieve a balance between form, function, and cost.
Our Model Shop is equipped with advanced tools and technologies to deliver high-quality prototypes tailored to client needs. We focus on ensuring each model accurately represents the intended design, whether for early-stage concept exploration or final presentation.
Our capabilities include:
- 3D Printing – rapid fabrication of detailed models using a variety of materials.
- Molding and Casting – creation of complex shapes and structures with consistent quality.
- Handcrafting – expert craftsmanship to refine details and deliver impeccable results.
Our systematic approach ensures efficiency and accuracy at every stage of the prototyping process:
- Design Analysis – we collaborate with corporate clients to understand project goals and translate concepts into workable designs.
- Material Selection – appropriate materials are chosen to reflect the design but keep an eye on costs.
- Fabrication – advanced equipment and skilled technicians bring the design to life.
- Quality Assurance – each model undergoes thorough inspection to ensure it meets all specifications.
Our prototypes serve diverse industries and purposes, including:
- Product development and refinement
- Trade show displays
- Educational and training tools
With a commitment to precision and quality, our Model Shop transforms ideas into tangible solutions, helping clients move from concept to realization with confidence.
Putting Prototypes to the Test
Though each Inventionland builder works independently in the Model Shop, they frequently collaborate on final products, particularly in the testing phase, where things begin to get a bit personal. The Lazer Bot, was first tested by an Inventionland builder’s own cat and dog. In fact, the Water Rocket was actually tested inside the Inventionland moat waters.
