--- title: Mock-ups & Visual Models Manufacturing | Ineo description: Thanks to additive manufacturing technologies, we produce models with a level of reality and interactivity that surpasses all precedents. date: 2018-11-29 url: https://ineo.es/en/services/industrial-prototyping/mockups-visual-models --- # Mockups and Visual Models ## We transform your designs into hyper-realistic mock-ups and models: at Ineo, we use the latest manufacturing technologies to create interactive pieces that guarantee success in your presentations and technical validations. ### What are mockups and models? **Mockups and models are physical scale representations of a design, used to visualize, evaluate, and communicate ideas, as well as to perform tests before final manufacturing.** When it is necessary to be able to visualize any structure or prototype, the mock-ups and models are one of the most important elements, since they allow reducing the scale of the original model and physically reflecting its design in 3D. The physical representation of a model helps analysing and understanding all the elements that compose it -functionality, details- and facilitates the validation of its design. Traditionally, this work has been carried out in a traditional way by specialized model makers. 3D printing technologies and digital models created by 3D software allow to reproduce any element easily, achieving a high level of detail and precision. In this way, we offer the advantage of combining additive manufacturing with other traditional methods. Additive manufacturing is being used in an especially active way for the creation of scale models by architecture studios, engineering firms, construction companies, real estate companies and product designers, due to the high value it brings to its customers. In line with this evolution, **at Ineo we specialize in creating scale models and mock-ups**, offering customized solutions that guarantee success in the technical validation and commercial presentation of your designs. **Unsure about scale, materials, or level of detail?

Ineo provides manufacturing services for professional applications, guaranteeing fast-turnaround deliveries with optimized lead times. **We advise, design, manufacture, and distribute nationally and internationally from Terrassa (Barcelona, Spain)**. 📦 **No minimum order quantity – Guaranteed delivery times – Technical support** ##### Delivery Times in Spain: Physical models and prototypes are commonly used for presentations, design validation, architecture, engineering, or exhibitions. Depending on the level of detail, size, materials, and finishes, delivery times can vary significantly. Manufacturing may involve different technologies such as 3D printing, CNC machining, laser cutting, and manual assembly, all of which directly influence delivery times. The combination of processes affects the total lead time: - 3D printing (FDM, SLA, SLS, MJF) for detailed parts or complex shapes - Laser cutting or CNC milling for bases or flat structures - Manual assembly and finishes (sanding, painting, lighting, labeling, etc.) Key factors affecting delivery time: - Overall size of the model or prototype - Level of detail and complexity - Number of parts/components - Painting, post-processing, or assembly requirements - Number of versions or iterations planned - Time required for intermediate approvals **In general**, delivery times for physical models or prototypes range **between 3 and 15 business days**. **Small-scale or simple models, 3D printed without complex finishes, can be delivered within 3 to 5 days**. **Larger models or those requiring detailed finishes may take 1 to 3 weeks**. In some cases, sample parts can be manufactured for approval before final assembly or painting, which may extend the schedule depending on the approval process. We also offer express options for certain types of models, depending on the technology and material availability. Once we review your design, we can provide an accurate estimate tailored to your needs. ##### Deliveries to Canary Islands, Balearics, Ceuta & Melilla: Shipments to these regions may require 1-5 additional business days due to logistics and (for Canary Islands) customs processing. ##### International Deliveries: Orders outside Spain require extended lead times. Additional delivery time varies by destination country and local logistics/customs factors. For precise international delivery estimates, contact our customer service team. ### Ready to manufacture your mock-ups and models?
