PROJECTS DELIVERED 500+ models

Design realization & physical verification

Start with what you have.

Projects may begin with CAD, BIM, 3D files, drawings, sketches, photographs, renderings, existing objects, or AI-generated reference images. When usable geometry is available, we prepare it for physical production as part of the model-making process.

When production-ready geometry does not exist, Digital Model Development may be separately scoped to create the geometry and production information required for the physical model.

Path A

Production-ready 3D files

CAD, BIM or existing model

↓

Path B

Reference information only

Photo, sketch, rendering or AI image

↓

Digital model development (separately scoped)

Create the required geometry

↓

Digital file preparation

Prepare geometry for fabrication

↓

Samples and approvals

When required

↓

Fabrication and quality control

↓

Physical model or prototype

↓

Communicate, evaluate, test or approve

What we build

Physical models for the markets we serve.

Every project is developed around its audience, intended use, required level of detail, physical constraints, schedule, and delivery requirements.

01 — Architecture

Architectural & Real Estate Models

Models that help architects, developers, planning teams, and real estate professionals communicate designs, evaluate spatial relationships, support approvals, and present projects with confidence.

From early massing studies to detailed sales-gallery models, each model is developed around the information its audience needs to understand.

Explore Architectural & Real Estate Models →

Massing and concept models
Masterplan and urban-planning models
Planning and design-review models
Sales-gallery and presentation models
Topographic and site models
Existing-condition and as-built models
Lighting, bases, display cases, delivery, and installation

02 — Product

Product Prototypes & Mockups

Physical prototypes that transform sketches, reference images, CAD files, and generated concepts into objects teams can present, evaluate, test, and refine before moving into production.

Appearance and presentation prototypes
Form and proportion studies
Material and finish samples
Functional and fabrication prototypes
Assembly and connection mockups
Investor and trade-show models
Custom product-display models

03 — Film

Film & Commercial Miniatures

Miniature sets and physical models for art departments, directors, agencies, and production teams. Built to support previsualization, camera planning, composition, presentation, and production.

04 — Art

Art Maquettes & Prototypes

Physical maquettes and prototypes that help artists, designers, and cultural institutions evaluate scale, proportion, placement, materials, and fabrication direction before producing the final work.

One controlled process

From initial reference to coordinated delivery.

Every project follows a structured process adapted to the physical deliverable. Depending on the scope, this can include goal definition, constraints, digital preparation, physical samples, approvals, fabrication, quality control, packaging, delivery, and setup.

The Carve Studio Portal makes the process visible by organizing milestones, files, approvals, messages, estimates, and project information in one shared workspace.

Not sure which model you need?

Start with what the model needs to support.

Tell us who will use the model, what they need to understand, evaluate, test, or approve, and what design information is currently available.

We'll review the project requirements and recommend an appropriate scope, scale, level of detail, and delivery approach.
