Model Making

If you are looking to create a visual model to aid design or launch a product at exhibition, the team at Midas can support you in a variety of ways.

At Midas we have the technology and traditional skills to produce highly realistic and detailed engineering models. By combining our understanding of customer needs with CNC machinery, traditional model making skills and vast engineering expertise Midas can supply the best models to suit both the purpose and your budget. 

Model making and rapid prototyping are the ideal methods to evaluate 3D CAD data before commencing tooling production. 

Materials such as composite tooling boards, low density foams, MDF, clear vacuum cast materials, hardwood and aluminium billet combined with a varied selection of paint finishes can all be used to produce the required result.
