3D Printed Trade Show Models Made in Days
It can be challenging to visualize facilities, equipment, or new products with 2D images alone - a 3D printed trade show model offers an opportunity to directly engage trade show attendees, and provide a tangible, attention-grabbing display that creates both immediate engagement and long-lasting impression. With modern 3D printing technologies like SLA, SLS, and FDM, models can be produced faster, more affordably, and with better durability than traditional model-making processes.
If you already have 3D files, don’t reinvent the wheel - our dedicated team of designers can make the necessary changes to existing CAD to adapt 3D models for 3D printing, or work directly from existing drawings to produce original models read to print.


Complex Models Made Easy
3D printing offers total design freedom, with no added cost for added complexity. Curved, complex geometries are a perfect fit for 3D printing.

Ultra-High Detail Models
3D printed trade show models reproduce incredible detail; tiny features can be reproduced with a resolution of 100 microns.

Improve Client Communication
A scaled-up 3D printed trade show model makes it easier to see and visualize small or delicate models

Lightweight Trade Show Models
A scaled-down 3D printed trade show model makes it easy to transport and display your product without the logistical challenges of moving heavy, full-sized product

2D to 3D File Conversions
3D Prints & Models from 2D drawings
We excel in file conversions - we can produce detailed, accurate models from Sketchup, Revit, and AutoCad files. By ensuring files are watertight and adjusting critical dimensions, we can rapidly produce error-free 3D printed scale models without needing to completely remodel the existing files, saving time and money.

Tactile Models
Ultra Fast Turnaround of 3D Printed Scale Models
Powder Bed Fusion technologies like Selective Laser Sintering are ideal for producing durable educational models that can be handled with minimal risk of breakage. These 3D printed models for BC Hydro were printed in an extremely durable Nylon 12 material, allowing attendees to safely touch and handle the models without risk of damage.

High Detail Models
Details down to 100 microns
High detail models with excellent detail visualization can be 3D printed using transparent resin and finished to a high degree of optical clarity. These 3D printed models for Translink were 3D printed in Accura Clearvue, allowing a video display of the proposed new routes to be displayed below it, illuminating the entire model.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Each project is unique - the cost of the models is based on the volume of material used, and the design time required to prepare or produce the CAD files for print.
