Physical project models and presentation model support
Engineering rigs, product prototypes, architectural presentation models and project boards are all assessed artefacts with the same underlying question: does this object demonstrate what you claim it demonstrates? We coach the planning, making and presentation that answer it.
What the support covers
How we help with physical project models
Purpose-led making
Deciding whether the model proves a mechanism, communicates a space or demonstrates a concept — each leads to a different object.
Materials and fabrication
Choosing materials and methods available to you, including 3D printing, laser cutting and hand fabrication.
Project boards
Boards that pair the physical object with drawings, diagrams and text at the right level of detail.
Demonstration day
Setting up, testing beforehand, and explaining the model under questioning.
Model types
- Architectural presentation models
- Engineering prototypes and test rigs
- Product design mock-ups
- Working mechanism models
- Project display boards
Support includes
- Feasibility and scoping
- Material and cost planning
- Technical drawings for fabrication
- Build sequence planning
- Documentation and photography
Academic levels
We work with undergraduate and Bachelor's students on assignments, coursework, reports and final-year or capstone projects, and with Master's and PhD students on research proposals, literature reviews, methodology, data analysis, theses and dissertations.
English · Arabic · French
Sessions are available in English, Arabic and French, so you can think through difficult ideas in the language you reason fastest in and still submit in the language your university requires.
Academic integrity
We coach and advise. Physical models submitted for assessment must be planned, built and presented by the student.
