Custom Prop Fabrication & Packaging Prototypes

From design to fabrication, our Model Shop delivers intricate, precision-tuned structural models crafted and refined by hand.

Using a full suite of advanced equipment including 3D CAD development in Solidworks, CNC machining, high-fidelity 3D printing, rubber molding, and thermoforming, we build form-accurate structural models that answer real engineering and design questions. Whether you’re exploring a new bottle structure, proving out a closure mechanism, or validating a form before committing to tooling, we engineer every detail with the accuracy that high-stakes development demands.

From precision-engineered structural models to hand-finished hero props for TV, video, and commercial photography, we build pieces that stop people in their tracks. Our craftsmen work across materials including machined Lucite, urethane, foam, and metal to create stand-ins so realistic they’re nearly impossible to distinguish from the real thing.

If your project calls for an oversized brand prop, a camera-ready structural model, or a custom fabricated piece that doesn’t exist anywhere else, this is where it gets built.

Speed to market starts with speed to prototype. Our rapid iterative process generates real-time feedback on new structural formats, closure mechanisms, and form factors quickly and affordably so you can make confident decisions before committing to tooling or production.

From breadboard models and form studies to working assemblies and machined structural prototypes, we compress the learning curve and keep your development timeline moving without sacrificing precision.

Got an idea that AI helped you visualize? We can bring it to life. Our team takes AI-generated concepts and translates them into production-intent physical models through 3D development, CNC machining, and high-fidelity 3D printing.

We know how to interpret abstract digital imagery and dimensionalize it for real-world manufacturing so you’re not just printing a file, you’re getting a finished structural object built with craft and engineering logic behind every decision.

Every year we design and build hundreds of complex branded kits including custom-shaped influencer boxes, advent calendars, coolers, and bespoke 3D assemblies for national brands and agencies alike. Each kit is built with custom fabricated components, special effects finishes, integrated lighting, and precision kitting and fulfillment.

If your brand needs a physical touchpoint that creates a moment worth sharing, our Model Shop designs and builds it from the ground up.

We’re proud of the skill and finesse we bring to every finished piece. Our paint and finishing team excels at custom color mixing, precise Pantone matching, and applying faux, artistic, and effects finishes that transform raw structural models and fabricated props into presentation-ready pieces.

We proof across substrates, convert colors across technologies, and pay attention to the details others miss because how something looks in the room determines whether the idea moves forward.
