Props & Replicas

Using advanced 3D printing, CNC, and scenic finishing

Props & Replicas

What we do

We bring objects to life — from precision-engineered parts to large-scale sculptural forms. Using advanced 3D printing, CNC, and scenic finishing, we create pieces that are both visually striking and structurally sound. Whether it’s a hero prop, a museum replica, or a functional prototype, every build is made to meet the exacting standards of production and exhibition.

Who its for

  • Production designers looking to incorporate sculptural or mechanical elements into hero props
  • Art directors and props masters needing precision builds without compromising on finish
  • Set decorators sourcing components that require an exact fit and visual consistency
  • Founders and product designers testing form, ergonomics, and assembly
  • Museums and experiential designers commissioning replicas for exhibition and interpretation
  • Workshops and fabrication teams needing custom parts for integration into larger builds

Why it matters

  • Accuracy at any scale – from miniature replicas to full-size installations
  • High-resolution detail – surfaces and geometries that stand up to close inspection
  • Smooth digital-to-physical workflow – from CAD to fabrication with minimal rework
  • Flexible integration – standalone props or components within hybrid builds
  • Exhibition-ready finishes – scenic painting, patinas, and texturing to match real materials‍

How we work

  • 3D Printing & CNC – resin for fine detail, FDM for scale, CNC for strength and precision
  • Material Range – PLA, PETG, engineering resins, flexible and translucent polymers
  • Digital Support – CAD modelling, file prep, geometry cleanup, or full builds from sketches
  • Finishing & Scenic – sanding, priming, painting, and patina work to achieve realism
  • Hybrid Integration – mechanical inserts, sculptural components, or custom parts for larger fabrications

Technical capabilities

  • Build volume up to [insert largest printer size, eg, 800×800×400 mm] in-house
  • Resolution down to [e.g. 25 microns layer height] for fine detail
  • In-house scenic and fabrication team for turnkey prop delivery
  • Reinforced structural options for durable, interactive, or outdoor use
