Large‑scale CNC prototyping and mock‑ups
Full‑scale parts when a drawing is not enough — geometry you can assemble, review and approve.We produce large mock‑ups, prototypes and presentation parts from customer CAD. The focus is practical: sensible segmentation, fast assembly, and geometry that supports real‑space decisions.
Typical outputs include architectural volumes, large housings, exhibit parts and oversized prototypes. We can deliver as‑machined or prepared for your finishing route.
- Large parts split, keyed and labelled for assembly
- Geometry prepared for transport and safe handling
- Fast iteration support when projects evolve
- Finishing route aligned early for predictable outcomes
What this service covers
Large prototypes are as much about logistics as machining. We plan the build so it arrives in a form that can be assembled quickly, checked in real space and used to move the project forward.
If you expect revisions, tell us early. We can structure the work so updates remain consistent and measurable, while keeping the schedule realistic.
Typical applications
Architectural volumes and façade features
Lightweight large geometry for visual checks, junction reviews and on‑site coordination.
Full‑scale product mock‑ups
1:1 prototypes to validate proportions, ergonomics and assembly logic before production tooling.
Large enclosures and housings
Large components that benefit from assembly checks and realistic packaging/handling.
Presentation parts and exhibition builds
High‑impact builds prepared for safe transport and quick setup.
Approach
We agree the purpose of the prototype first: visual review, assembly check, client presentation or a production decision. That determines segmentation, surface quality and delivery format.
For oversized geometry, we include alignment features and labelling so assembly is intuitive. Cosmetic zones are protected and planned for finishing where required.
- Segmentation planned for transport and build‑up sequence
- Alignment keys and join references for quick assembly
- Labelling matched to assembly order and documentation
- Surface route agreed for the intended presentation level
Materials used for large‑scale work
Large builds often benefit from lightweight materials and a planned surface route. We will recommend options based on size, finish and handling requirements.
- EPS/XPS for lightweight large volumes and mock‑ups
- Tooling board for stable, higher‑detail surfaces where needed
- MDF for robust templates and selected prototype elements
- Paste‑on‑core systems for hard, finishable skins on large cores
What you receive
- Prototype parts ready for assembly and use
- Clear join logic, keys and labels for large builds
- Practical packaging that protects sensitive surfaces
- A hand‑off suited to your review or presentation goal
When this is the right fit
- You need a 1:1 check for space, proportions or interfaces
- The part is too large to ship as a single piece
- Your team needs quick assembly and predictable build‑up
- You want a prototype that supports a production decision
What is out of scope
- Projects without defined size, use and delivery constraints
- Steel/ferrous metal machining
- Open‑ended surface finishing without agreed acceptance level
A clear workflow
- Send CAD and brief: purpose, size and finish level
- We confirm segmentation plan and delivery format
- Machining, labelling and assembly preparation
- Delivery ready for your build‑up and review

Plan a large‑scale prototype
Share your files and tell us what the prototype must achieve: visual approval, assembly check or presentation. We will propose a build plan, materials and a delivery format that works in practice.If the project is time‑critical, include your deadline and delivery location. We will confirm what is realistic and how to reduce risk.
