Hoensbroek Castle – History captured in a model
Commissioned by Submedia from Heerlen, we produced a detailed 3D-printed scale model of Hoensbroek Castle. Printed in a single color (light grey), the rich details of the castle—from towers to façade textures—stand out distinctly. The model is 26 cm tall and made from PLA. With its subdued hue and material, it exudes a subtle, almost architectural appearance that honors the castle’s historic character.
Kalfire – demonstration model of a fireplace
For Kalfire Fireplaces, we created a modular demonstration model consisting of three interchangeable parts connected by magnets. The logs in the model are made of real wood for a lifelike appearance. A compact and stylish presentation tool for the showroom and trade fairs.
Ynno – Interior design for spatial planning of office buildings
For Ynno, we produced scale models of furniture and office components to present office layouts flexibly. The pieces were delivered in practical storage boxes and are easily portable, supporting interactive design and layout sessions on site.
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.
