​
Design Technology is the most commonly used section of the curriculum to benefit from the integration of a laser but its uses can span across to textiles, food technology and resistant materials. The applications for a laser in a school really are limitless
Laser Cutting for Architectural Design
& Model Making
Craft detailed architectural models utilizing wood, acrylic, or various other materials.
Many architectural firms and schools use our laser systems to create precise scale models that accurately represent topography, elevation and space. Our laser systems can make your models more realistic because laser systems can process materials traditional methods cannot. With a laser system, the doors in your model can be made of real wood. It’s as simple as creating a CAD drawing, processing the artwork with the laser system and assembling the finished architectural model.
​
Client proposals and presentations take on a new look with laser processing. Quickly and easily produce realistic, precision-cut scale models in-house. Scribe or cut mat board, acrylic and other plastics, wood, paper and most non-metals crisply and cleanly.
​
Architectural model making has become an important tool to produce client presentations and entire development models. Many model makers are realising the effectiveness of laser cutting in-house with the cost savings earned and the ability to rapidly make small design revisions or changes to entire building facades.
​
All our our machine range can be used to produce the most intricate of designs in a vast array of materials. For architectural laser cutting of wood, plastics, acrylic, laser engraved veneers, marquetry, profiling and relief of landscapes new developments and elevations.
The possibilities are endless!
