Product Models
Appearance models and presentation prototypes are a practical way to turn a new product idea into something people can immediately understand.
We create product models for design reviews, customer meetings, investment pitches and exhibitions. From one-off concept pieces to short production runs, we can take your drawings and produce a convincing physical replica that communicates the design clearly.
A substantial part of our work involves making product models: working mock-ups of new products. Often known as appearance models, these pieces can be invaluable for showing a concept to investors, customers or internal teams before full production begins. Whether it is a one-off presentation piece or a short batch of samples, we can turn your drawings into a highly convincing physical model.
This model of a prototype wrap-around waste bin (for cigarette butts) was used to demonstrate how it could be retro fitted to any street furniture or signs. The client needed a working mock-up he could take to meetings to show how it could be easily locked together around different sized poles/posts. The design required the model to be made in four sections that fitted perfectly together.

A clean, presentation-ready mock-up used to assess form, proportion and finish ahead of production tooling, giving the client a physical product to review in meetings.
A product and packaging concept model developed to test how the item would sit in a retail display environment and how the graphics would read at real scale.
A short-run set of appearance models produced for customer presentations, allowing the design team to show a consistent finished product across multiple meetings.
As a quick guide to our product model making service, we've put together a Frequently Asked Questions page. Below is a short selection of the topics that clients often ask about.
An appearance model is a physical mock-up used to show what a product will look like in real life before production. It is often used for presentations, approvals, exhibitions and investor meetings.
Yes. We can work from sketches, technical drawings, CAD exports and reference imagery to create a presentation-quality product model.
Not always. Some models are built purely to demonstrate appearance, while others can include moving parts or basic functionality if that helps communicate the design.
Yes. We can create one-off concept models or small batch runs where multiple copies are needed for presentations, exhibitions or market testing.
