Custom Model Making for the Military and Defence Industry
At TVAR Open Creative Hub, we specialize in the precise production of high-quality models and prototypes tailored to meet the unique demands of the military and defence industry. Our expertise in industrial design, 3D printing, and advanced prototyping technologies has allowed us to work with leading global companies to create detailed, accurate, and functional models for a variety of military applications.
Specialized Models for Military and Defence Solutions
We are proud to have collaborated with renowned companies such as Global Clearance Solutions and Rafael Advanced Defence Systems, delivering exceptional models for advanced military technologies. The models were intended for exhibitions, for internal teams and also as gifts for current or potential clients.
GCS-200 for Global Clearance Solutions
For Global Clearance Solutions, we developed an FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) combined with SLS parts version of their GCS-200 demining device. The GCS-200 is state-of-the-art. It is designed for heavy-duty clearance (Anti-Personnel and Anti-Tank mines) tasks with maximum survivability in high-threat environments. Our role was to ensure that the prototype met the highest standards of precision and functionality. FDM models are both cost-effective and fast to produce, making them ideal for quickly creating functional prototypes. Our team worked closely with the client to ensure the scaled-down model captured the key features and functionality of the GCS-200, while also considering the best size and level of detail based on the project’s purpose and budget.
Our process for creating this model involved:
- Purpose Assessment: We first discussed the specific purpose of the model—whether it was to be a gift, an exhibition piece, or a highly detailed replica for testing purposes. For the GCS-200, our focus was on capturing the key features of the device for practical demonstrations and evaluations.
- Design and Preparation: After receiving the model in STEP format from the client, we prepared all necessary documentation for production. This ensured that the prototype would align precisely with the intended specifications.
- Prototyping Process: We produced the main structure of the model using an FDM 3D printer. For smaller, intricate details, we used SLA (Stereolithography) or SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) printing technologies. These methods allowed us to achieve high precision in the finer components of the model.
- Finishing Touches: If necessary, we applied paint to the model to achieve the desired aesthetic. We also offer custom solutions such as wooden bases and plexiglass coverings to enhance the presentation and functionality of the model.
Mobile Anti-Aircraft System Model for Rafael Advanced Defence Systems
Another notable project involved the creation of a miniature model of a mobile anti-aircraft system SPYDER mounted on a Tatra 6×6 vehicle for Rafael Defence Systems, an industry leader in defence technologies. Our team worked closely with Rafael to create an accurate representation of this sophisticated weapon system, designed to protect military forces from aerial threats.
This scaled model allows for in-depth analysis, aiding in the further development of cutting-edge military vehicles and rocket systems. It serves as a critical tool for understanding how the system performs in different environments and can be used for training, demonstrations, and operational evaluations.
