The team at KiwiMill specializes in custom model fabrication. Our exceptional craftspeople meld half a century of experience with recent innovations in the industry, to produce highly detailed, realistic models for whatever purpose you may have, in whatever size you need.
Model Making Process
Creating models is what we love to do at KiwiMill. From the moment we receive your initial inquiry, the team takes the time to sit down and discuss your ideas with each other. There is excitement and anticipation about your project before we even get to the actual quoting process.
After we come to an understanding of your project requirements: the purpose your display will serve, your general budget and deadlines, and the level of detail you are looking for in your model, we set to work creating a customized quote that involves discussion between our sales staff and production team.
The production team at KiwMill is made up of industrial designers, engineers, artists and craftspeople. With this background variety, we offer a broad range of options of how to meet your goals. We can even help define what you want, if you are unsure. By describing your vision - what desired impact you are looking for - our team can give design input into your project, as well as go about the build itself.
When we are awarded a project, and given the opportunity to create something for you, the team brainstorms the build process before proceeding. Our engineers determine what materials will be used, fabrication techniques, and how special effects such as electronic animation will fit into the process, right down to the mounting requirements, display case and shipping container that will be utilized.
Our skilled group of CAD designers takes any files you give us, compile the information and correct any discrepancies or gaps in the data. If you don’t have 3D images of your design, our staff will make their own, working off your photographs, sketches or the actual object you want to have modeled.
Our shop is equipped with advanced technologies to make some of the fabrication processes more efficient, accurate or speedy. Our model makers use these processes, such as rapid prototyping, to supplement, but never replace, hands-on skill. The goal is to free up our model makers to concentrate on the artistic and technical details that define an exceptional model.
A quality model, customized to your particular needs is the goal of our team. We are not happy until we know that your project has been completed on time, delivered to you safely, and meets your expectations.
