Modelling Materials

The materials used for a model depend on its purpose. A range of materials can be used in one product. These are some of the common ones;

• Card  pop-ups, moving models and packaging.
• Balsa wood detail on models and small components.
• Foam board interior-design models and large pieces of packaging.
• Polystyrene sheet vacuum-forming, packaging and creating product-design models.
• Rigid foam product design and solid concept models.
• Construction kits used to build models with moving parts.
• Wood like plywood and solid timber product-design and interior-design models.
• Hard wax 3D models where detail must be carved into shapes.
• Plaster bandage with wire supports 3D models that require rounded shapes.
