The Art of Technical Modeling

Creating technical models is often challenging as we build scale models or cut-aways to the required specifications at any level of mechanical functionality specified by the client. Every model is custom-machined and crafted to the customer’s specifications. Nicol Pattern is best known for its artistry in making models that are dynamically realistic. Whether you want a 1/50 scale model of a massive strip mining machine or 1000/1 scale of a DLP video chip, we’re ready for a challenge.

We specialize in turning the following visions your company can imagine into reality. Mechanical models, robotic models, moving models, suitcase models, table-top models, prototype models, cutaway models, 3D models, cast models, engineering models, architectural models, oil rig models, acrylic models, rapid prototyping and much more.

We build anything from small static models to a very large dynamic models with multiple motorized mechanisms, lighting, video and computer controllers. We look forward to the opportunity to provide you with unique solutions that will enhance the demonstration of your products.

Nicol Pattern models and displays have been used at world-renowned industry conferences and tradeshows like the Offshore Technology Conference, American Association of Petroleum Geologists Conference, Society of Petroleum Engineers Conference, Offshore Europe, ATC and more.
