Models are no longer limited to physical volume. Today, an interactive virtual model opens up new ways to explore, learn, and experience scientific and technological content. In this article, we show you how they work, what technologies they incorporate, and why they are becoming a key tool for museums, exhibitions, and educational spaces.
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.
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.
What if you could control a model as if it were a real system, from your computer and in real time? The interactive model for IoT environments developed by IA Manufacturing makes this possible: it accurately simulates agricultural, urban, and industrial environments through a system fully connected to the FIWARE platform. Designed to be a powerful educational and informative tool, this model represents a step forward in how we understand, explain, and showcase the technology that connects the world.
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.
The interactive industrial model created for Aritex showcased a new way of communicating complex processes at the Paris Air Show. It meticulously represents a wing production plant and incorporates innovative features such as a touchscreen and neopixel lighting. Its design, optimized for safe transport, makes this model a strategic tool for trade shows, corporate presentations, and client meetings.
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.
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.
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.
