Data Center Model
Some models are a combination of architecture and engineering. One such project we recently completed is the Winchester Data Center in Kansas City. This model is used to give tours of this highly sensitive and high-security facility. The...
Scientific Drilling
Scientific drilling needed to demonstrate their complex system for drilling for oil. Archetype 3D was hired to design and build a display model to demonstrate this system. The problem was how to represent radio waves travelling from an underground drill bit to a...
Equipment Models of Cooling Towers
These two large models show the inner workings of two cooling tower designs. Built to travel to various trade shows and marketing events, these models made a huge impact wherever they were viewed. Literally, thousands of baffles and louvers were...
California Water Treatment Plant Model
The engineering behind clean water is remarkable and constantly changing. Yes, 3D files and graphics are used to represent these in meetings but our physical models are still the best way to demonstrate the new technologies and to give the...
Chemical Injection Equipment Model
When you build heavy equipment you are faced with the problem of showing it off. The operative word here is HEAVY. This extremely complex piping model is simply a sales tool. In a trade show setting, this model is a great draw for interested...
Newspaper Plant Layout Models
I am showing two different models representing several that we have done for the newspaper industry. Printing, organizing sections, stacking, raw materials etc. all add to the complexity of print houses like these. These engineering models have...
Nuclear Pump Models
These engineering models are part of a series of displays used to show equipment and for training at a nuclear power plant. Hands-on training with huge and unwieldy equipment can only be done using scale models. The concepts and instructions can...
Biofuel
Even with the greenest of technologies, there is still a need for sales. This model of a biofuel plant shows a unique product for a unique market. These plants are specifically designed to get rid of waste and at the same time produce fuel for...
