Polystyrene Carving
Sculpture Studios have the facilities to carve large-scale work from polystyrene, whether it is a scenic rock face for a film set or a classical, figurative piece of art. This medium is both relatively quick and lightweight to work with. It is ideal for a one off exhibition display or can be prepared for hard coating to be applied, or even moulded from. The polystyrene used is FR grade, suitable for display work. Clay is more suited for the smaller modelling and is good for high definition and certain styles of work. Clay sculpting is particularly good for taking moulds from, in order to produce in hard copy-form.
Glass Fibre Production
Specialising in the design, development and production of Glassfibre Reinforced Plastic (GRP) products, we have over 25 years of experience in all aspects of the fibreglass industry. We make moulds and manufacture GRP products to their required specifications from 1 off to 100 or more. We are experienced laminators and can even aid in development of new mouldings for new products.
Glass fibre is used in many different ways. The scale and diversity is endless. Glass fibre can be used as a blanket coat to cover scenic work or be used in a mould where a good quality finish is required on the surface.
GRP/glass reinforced plastic, is relatively light, strong and has a weather durable finish.
Sculpture Studios use it for the theatre, where class rated material is required, in anything from life-size replica airplanes to figurative sculptures etc. The surface can be treated in many different ways, i.e. textured surfaces, and painted to suit. We also cast in plaster, reconstituted stone, silicon rubber and clear cast resins.
Rapid Prototype
Fast prototypes rapidly adapted to design changes.
Cut out the lengthy and expensive development of a full size prototype in a hard material, when all you wish to see is a rapid 3D form.
Our very quick way of seeing your product in full scale allows you to modify and change the design in a short space of time cost effectively.
Once the final design has been reached we are able to produce a master pattern production mould and casts made from glass fibre (GRP) to a high standard.
We save you time and money allowing design changes along the way.
