The process behind a 270cm Titanic replica created in 6 months
A few months ago, we completed one of our most exciting projects: the creation of a 270 cm replica of the Titanic. This model, designed for traveling exhibitions, was built in six months with a focus on historical accuracy and technical quality. From the design of blueprints based on original documentation to the additive manufacturing of the hull, every stage of the process was carried out with the utmost care. The model, now part of Musealia's "Titanic. The Exhibition," is a tribute to the legendary ocean liner and a key element in sharing its story.

La Palma in detail: Topographic model with augmented reality
The augmented reality topographic model installed at the Roque de los Muchachos Visitor Center in La Palma offers a unique experience. With meticulous craftsmanship and innovative technology, it allows visitors to interactively explore the Caldera de Taburiente National Park, connecting the physical landscape with digital information about its geology and biodiversity.
Restoration of the topographic model of La Gomera, a 30-year legacy renewed
The topographical model of La Gomera, over 30 years old, has been restored to its original splendor. This three-meter-diameter wooden model had suffered structural damage and accumulated dirt over time. The restoration process included repairing the structure, renewing the vegetation, and recreating textures, with particular attention to Garajonay National Park. This cultural artifact has regained its value as a visual symbol and educational tool for the island.
The Canary Archipelago in detail: The first aquatic ecosystem model that represents the topography of the islands
IA Manufacturing has undertaken a groundbreaking project by creating the first-ever aquatic ecosystem model that accurately represents the topography of the Canary Islands archipelago. Using LIDAR technology and 3D modeling, every geological detail has been captured, from volcanic peaks to the deep sea. This model, manufactured using high-precision 3D printing and finished with over 50 liters of epoxy resin to simulate the sea, is now on display at the Juego de Bolas Visitor Center in La Gomera. The work stands out not only for its visual realism but also for its educational value, offering visitors a new perspective on the Canary Islands' natural environment.
Behind the restoration of the Boeing 747 model airplane for Wamos
At Ia Manufacturing, we restored a 1/30 scale Boeing 747 model airplane for Wamos Airlines. This project included modifying the internal structure, repairing damage, complete stripping, and applying a vinyl wrap with Wamos' corporate image, as well as creating a new, custom-designed steel base. It was a challenge we overcame with precision and dedication, demonstrating our commitment to excellence in model making and restoration.»
Process of creating models for Museum Architecture
Creating museum models is a fundamental process in museum architecture, as it allows for the visualization and refinement of designs before construction. Models provide an accurate and detailed three-dimensional representation that facilitates the communication of ideas and concepts to architects, clients, and sponsors alike. In this article, we will explore the process of creating museum models, highlighting their importance and the stages involved in museum architecture.
Creative commercial decoration: The Skylight Madrid project
Commercial decoration and interior design play a crucial role in attracting customers and investors. This year, one of our first projects stood out for its innovation and creativity. We collaborated on the creation of unique decorative elements to promote a building in Madrid.
Interactive, full-scale model of an electric vehicle, from concept to reality in 30 days
In this article, we explore our innovative, full-scale interactive model, created in a collaborative project with Mubil and Bilbao Design Hub. Designed to interactively demonstrate advanced energy propulsion systems, the model has been a key tool in technology education and demonstration. Thanks to the trust and collaboration of our partners, we successfully met a challenging 30-day deadline to design, manufacture, and assemble this educational tool, demonstrating the effectiveness of technological interaction in teaching complex concepts.
