Prototypes and Mock-Ups

A prototype lets you test an idea in your hand before committing it to costly production, and a mock-up shows a customer something that doesn't exist yet. We combine 3D printing, CNC routing, laser cutting and foam cutting, and finish the models in our own workshop — all under one roof.

Production options

Functional prototype

Used to check dimensions, fit and operation. Accuracy matters, not appearance.

Visual prototype

Looks like the finished product: painted, printed or covered. For presentations, photos and customer testing.

Exhibition mock-up

A scale model of a building, stand or product. We combine different technologies and materials in it.

How we work

  1. A description of the model's purpose, files or a sketch, dimensions and the presentation deadline.
  2. Choosing the technology, preparing the 3D model and a quote.
  3. Producing the elements, assembling and finishing in the workshop.
  4. Collection or shipping, and for prototypes — revisions and a next version.

Deadline? We fit the job around it.

Our standard lead time is about 3 working days, and up to 14 days for larger projects. That is only a starting point. We are the manufacturer, not a broker — we plan our own production queue, so we can move your job forward to meet an opening, event or campaign date.

  • approx. 3 daysstandard lead time
  • 24 hexpress printing — UV inks need no drying time
  • up to 14 dayslarge and non-standard projects with installation

We produce in Wieluń, Poland, and ship by courier across Poland and abroad. Our own installation crews work in Poland and other European countries.

Production facilities · Wieluń, Poland

Everything produced under one roof.

We take each order from artwork to installation on our own machines and with our own crews, so we decide the production order and the delivery date ourselves. For large roll-outs we are supported by a network of partner plants.

  • LED UV printing with textile ink
  • dye-sublimation on textiles
  • pigment photo plotter and large-format scanner

Digital print and finishing

  • production digital presses, colour and mono
  • guillotine cutter
  • folding machines, banding machine, press
  • variable data printing and personalisation

Machining and cutting

  • CNC router for boards, plastics and composites
  • laser for acrylic, plywood and engraving
  • oscillating cutting-and-creasing plotter and vinyl cutter
  • hot-wire foam cutting and acrylic bending

Finishing and assembly

  • large-format and thermal laminators
  • welders and two automatic eyeleting machines
  • industrial sewing room: hems, pole pockets, SEG edging
  • mounting and vinyl application stations

3D printing and prototypes

FAQ · Prototypes and mock-ups

Frequently asked questions

Can you make a prototype from a sketch?

Yes. Based on a sketch and dimensions we prepare a 3D model in our studio, and produce it once approved.

How many prototype versions are usually needed?

One is often enough for simple elements. For displays and enclosures we usually do two or three iterations before the design goes into series.

Can a display prototype use the same material as the series?

Yes, and we recommend it. A prototype in the final material best shows the rigidity and look of the finished product.

Can a mock-up be large scale?

Yes. We build large forms from polystyrene foam or from 3D-printed and routed elements, joined and painted in the workshop.

Can you meet a fixed date?

Usually, yes. Our standard lead time is about 3 working days, and express printing in 24 hours is possible. As the manufacturer we plan production ourselves, so we can schedule your job around your deadline. Add the date to your brief and we will confirm it before work starts.
