3D model making & sculptural installations.

From digital form to physical presence.

Some ideas need to leave the screen. We combine 3D modelling, digital fabrication, hands-on model making, prototyping and physical finishing to help create objects and installations with real presence.

WHAT WE CAN HELP WITH

The work.
Up close.

For brands, spaces, creative teams and product concepts that require a physical model, sculptural centrepiece or a compelling 3D visualisation.

01

3D modelling & concept development

Build and refine digital forms to evaluate proportions, details, materials and construction before fabrication.

02

Physical model making

Develop models, prototypes and sculptural forms using a process that suits the scale, finish and purpose of the piece.

03

Digital fabrication & CNC

Translate 3D forms into workable fabrication components and CNC-cut patterns or forms where appropriate.

04

3D printing & rapid prototyping

Explore 3D printed components or prototype iterations where they make sense for the design, scale and available production methods.

05

Sculpture & installation

Plan complex forms, sectioned assemblies, supporting structures, finishes and on-site installation considerations.

06

3D visualisation & product animation

Communicate concepts through detailed CGI renders, mechanical close-ups and cinematic animation before manufacture or launch.

MIND TO MATTER

How we
approach it.

Practical decisions, strong creative thinking and a clear line from the first conversation to the finished work.

01 / 03

Resolve the form digitally

Establish dimensions, purpose, presentation constraints and the form of the finished object.

02 / 03

Choose the right fabrication route

Plan components, prototypes, materials, assembly and finishes around the practical constraints.

03 / 03

Make and refine

Move through fabrication, finishing and, where required, the final installed presentation.

EVIDENCE, NOT JUST PROMISES

A little
proof of work.

The Chelsea Lion demonstrates completed large-scale physical fabrication and on-site installation; Perpetual Leg shows detailed conceptual 3D product animation and rendering.

A FEW USEFUL ANSWERS

Good questions.

No unnecessary jargon. Just enough detail to make the next step easier.

01Do you work on both digital models and physical pieces?

Yes. Depending on the brief, a project can involve a digital concept, prototyping, fabrication, finishing or a combination of those stages.

02Can you help with a large sculptural installation?

Yes. The Chelsea Lion is a completed example spanning 3D preparation, fabrication, finishing and installation in a real venue.

03Is 3D printing always the right approach?

Not necessarily. Scale, finish, durability and budget determine whether printing, CNC forms, composite construction or another method is the better fit.
