Vacuum casting

Production-quality polyurethane parts without the cost of steel tooling.

3D printing

Professional ProJet MJP 3600 prints — superior surface finish and accuracy for concept models and master patterns.

Traditional model making

Hand-crafted models to exhibition standard. High quality finishing and painting.

Small batch production
