Demonstrative Models

Demonstrative models are used to tell a story or present a concept. The cost of a model is determined by the level of detail involved. To that end many levels of detail may be used in the same model to emphasize certain points yet meet a budget requirement.

For instance, in a sales model, the featured product is usually done in some detail, possibly to the point of "forcing the scale" or making some features larger than rigorous scale would dictate to emphasize an important selling point.

In the case of demonstrative evidence used in litigation, scale must be rigorously observed. However, the level of detail for non-pertinent features may be lower or even omitted.

The photo above illustrates a fully detailed model. These models can be used to create a kind of "virtual reality". In fact, these types of models were actually used to create "animated" videos by moving the model elements in a sort of "stop action" videography. As video and digital technology improves, it may be possible to actually take a video camera right down to the surface of a module and recreate motions of vehicles and individuals in scenario reenactments with a budget less than modern "Star Wars" movie.

We can work with you or with your experts to create the demonstrative model to tell your story. We will happily tender a no charge quotation for a completed model to your specifications. Or, we will work on open contract at $35/hour or $250/diem plus materials.
