Province of East Flanders – Thermography model
For the Province of East Flanders, we developed a thermographic model that illustrates the effect of home insulation. Three 3D-printed houses, airbrushed in thermal imaging colors, show the difference between poorly and well-insulated homes. A powerful educational and awareness tool for energy efficiency.
Dutch Wheels – miniature Ferris wheel
For Dutch Wheels, we created a scale model of the 50-metre-high KC Wheel in Kansas City, complete with a rotating wheel and 36 independently movable gondolas. The model is mounted on an oak base and enclosed under a dome, used as a presentation piece at exhibitions. A technically and visually striking rendition of an iconic Ferris wheel.
Jongen Bouwpartners – Superlocal technical model
For the circular SuperLocal project of Jongen Bouwpartners, 3D Maquettes designed a modular model that can be assembled step by step—from foundation to roof. Built-in magnets keep the components firmly in place, clearly and interactively displaying the construction process.
INNIC – project centre Horst
For INNIC, we made a volumetric model of Horst town centre in white PLA. The model sits on a paper map to clearly illustrate spatial relationships and infrastructure. An effective tool for urban planning analysis and public engagement.
State of architecture – Urgent printing project
For State of Architecture, within one week we completed a large-format model measuring 1 × 1 metre, assembled from multiple PLA-printed parts. The model was quickly and precisely constructed into an impressive whole. Perfect for design and exhibition purposes.
Friedesse Molen – historic model
For the Friedesse Mill in Neer, 3D Maquettes designed a detailed model, complete with a protective dome and an oak information board laser-engraved with explanations and images. The setup brings the mill’s heritage to life for visitors. A valuable addition to the educational and tourist experience of this historic site.
Limburgs Landschap – Scale model BMW 801 E aircraft engine
For the Limburgs Landschap, 3D Maquettes produced a 1:1 replica of the WWII BMW 801 aircraft engine. The engine was fully 3D-printed in PETG plastic to withstand the humidity in the cave at Valkenburg where it’s displayed. Weighing around 180 kg, the model is an impressive tribute to a piece of overlooked history.
Oostwegel – Scale model Lange Jan
For Maurice Oostwegel, we created a miniature of Heerlen’s iconic “Lange Jan”, including its distinctive steps—of which he owns the topmost section. The model was used to persuade the city council to place it on a roundabout. Although the proposal was rejected, the miniature remains a unique tribute to the city’s mining heritage.
Demarec – Scale model demolition cranes
For Demarec, we produced two mini models of their demolition cranes at 9% scale, in the original company colors. The models served as eye-catching highlights at trade fairs, offering a realistic impression of the machinery in a compact format.
Eco Chalet – Demonstration model chalet
For Eco-Chalet BV, in just one week we created a detailed model of an energy-neutral chalet, complete with miniature furniture to enhance the sense of space. The scale model was displayed on a luxurious oak base and served as a showpiece at the trade fair. A powerful, tangible tool to present their sustainable concept.
