Technology & Equipment
Masterpiece Models offers you a creative partner with skills in computer graphics, electronic circuitry, electric motors, lighting, industrial painting and finishing, and digital design work. This enables us to make complex working, movable and interactive models and displays, including their control systems. These additional attributes enable Masterpiece Models to create that one-of-a-kind project, which will precisely meet your sales, marketing or educational needs.

Production Capabilities Details
Plastic Fabrication
We can create any type of model, prototype, part or package. We can do heat bending, drape forming, laser cutting and vacu-forming, in a wide range of plastic materials. And we can hand-fabricate styrene, acrylic and ABS plastic as well.
Casting
We can produce accurate single-cast parts and large, limited-production casting runs using durable resin. We can rotationally mold parts weighing up to 100 lbs. (mold and material) and are able to both pressure- and vacuum-cast parts with chamber size dimensions up to 2 feet by 4 feet. We also produce the molds. (Click on Casting, Molding and Vacuum Forming for more detailed information.)
Ancillary Display Pieces
We can custom-build cases, cabinets, pedestals and bases to meet any exhibit or presentation need. This is a valuable service when you already have objects or products to display, but need a better presentation for them.
Metal Fabrication
We can create metal projects on any scale, using skills that include machining, welding, cutting, bending and coating.
