MagTraC Scientific Drilling
Scientific Drilling needed a physical demonstration model to explain an underground drilling system at trade shows. Lighting helps show the signals moving through the ground.
MagTraC Scientific Drilling
MagTraC Scientific Drilling We made a circular demonstration model with drilling scenes around its sides. Lighting shows signals moving through the ground toward a receiving tower. The model also lives in the company's lobby between shows.
Starting from the engineer’s basic drawings, we developed a demonstration of underground radio signals reaching a receiving tower. The scenes include bypass and ocean drilling, with layers of earth represented around the circular display. It was conceived as a demonstration rather than a scale site replica, and could illustrate at least five product types. The client reviewed each component during development.

Turning an underground process into a demonstration
The circular display illustrates how underground radio signals can reach a receiving tower, with separate scenes for bypass and ocean drilling. Layers of earth frame the process, while lighting helps make the signal path visible. Developed from an engineer’s basic drawings, the model was designed as a demonstration of several product types rather than a scale replica of one site. Client review of components helped keep the display aligned with the system being explained.
