Low Poly Sculpture of an Iberian Imperial Eagle: Design, Manufacturing and Installation
The House of the Imperial Eagle in Pedraza houses a low-poly sculpture of an Iberian imperial eagle, created through a collaborative technical process that combined digital modeling, scientific consultation, and CNC manufacturing. The aim was to faithfully represent the silhouette of this emblematic bird using angular geometries and precise volumes. The large-format sculpture was designed to be integrated vertically as part of the museum's layout, lending presence, symbolism, and a striking visual experience.
Delivery times for professional models: plan and secure the date
Each model is unique, and its production doesn't follow a standard timeline. In this article, we explain how long each type of model can actually take, what factors influence its development, and what you can do to ensure delivery by your deadline. An honest and practical guide, straight from the workshop.
Blindfolded models: a practical guide to regulations, materials and design
Tactile models are much more than just tactile displays: they are a gateway to true inclusion. In this article, we explore their key features, where they are used, and the standards that guide their design. Tangible, functional accessibility designed for everyone.
Maintaining and cleaning a model: tips to preserve its value
Maintaining and cleaning a model is not just about aesthetics: it's a fundamental part of its preservation and its ability to continue communicating clearly. In this article, you'll find a practical and detailed guide on how to properly care for them, what tools and products to use, and what mistakes to avoid. From dust to environmental exposure, every decision influences their durability and appearance. Learn how to protect this valuable work and ensure that each model continues to function as well as it did on day one.
Think about it, you really don't need to build "a model"«
Building a model is much more than simply representing an idea in three dimensions. It's an opportunity to connect with the public, convey a clear message, and create a memorable experience. But to achieve this, it's not enough to just start building. First, it's essential to clearly define what you want to convey, who your target audience is, and how it should be presented. In this article, we'll help you reflect on each step before construction: from choosing the level of detail to the visual style, materials, and degree of interactivity. Because a well-designed model isn't just something to look at: it's something to understand, feel, and remember.
Landscape model: what it is, its uses, challenges, costs and applications
A landscape model is an essential tool for visualizing how a project relates to its surroundings. It allows for the clear representation of topography, vegetation, and buildings, facilitating technical analysis, decision-making, and communication with diverse audiences. Its applications range from architecture and urban planning to museography and environmental planning, and today it is also combined with interactive technologies to further enrich the experience.
Construction section models: uses, challenges and costs
A scale model allows you to showcase the technical inner workings of a project without dismantling it. From architecture to engineering, industrial design, and technology, these models are essential for visualizing, explaining, and validating complex solutions. This article explores their uses, materials, applicable sectors, common challenges, and costs, explaining why they remain a key tool in technical and educational settings.
Everything you need to know about a landscape model: uses, challenges and costs
A landscape model is not simply an addition to an architectural project: it is key to demonstrating how a proposal integrates with its surroundings. This article answers essential questions about its function, representation, materials, costs, and challenges, explaining why a well-designed model can be decisive in a presentation, approval process, or competition.
Recreating the geology of La Gomera: topographic models of the Garajonay National Park
The new topographic models at the Garajonay National Park visitor center depict the geology of La Gomera in great detail. These four hyperrealistic recreations allow visitors to explore iconic formations such as Los Órganos, the Chipude Fortress, Los Roques, and Roque Cano, offering a unique visual experience.
The reproduction of a sculpture by José Capuz: technology and art in harmony
Reproducing a sculpture by José Capuz is a challenge that demands precision and respect for the original work. In collaboration with Drónica, we performed a high-resolution 3D scan of "Our Lady of Piety," processed its digital model for 3D printing, and applied handcrafted finishes to achieve a faithful replica. This project unites technology and art in the preservation of heritage.
