What is Model Making?

Model making is the process of creating a scaled-down, three-dimensional representation of a physical object or structure. This representation, known as a model, is used for various purposes, including design visualization, communication, study, and presentation. Model making is an essential skill in various fields, such as architecture, engineering, product design, film and television, and industrial design.

Models can be made using a variety of materials, such as wood, foam, plastic, and metal, and constructed using different techniques, such as cutting, shaping, gluing, and painting. With the advancement of technology, model making has also evolved to incorporate computer-aided design (CAD) and 3D modeling software, as well as advanced fabrication methods like 3D printing, laser cutting, and CNC milling.

Model making allows designers, architects, and engineers to test ideas, explore spatial relationships, and communicate design concepts effectively to clients, stakeholders, or colleagues. Models can range from simple, conceptual representations to highly detailed, realistic replicas, depending on the purpose and requirements of the project.
