FOC Imagineering collaborated with Deltasync the past weeks to design a one-off interactive model to display Deltasync’s floating community developments.

The FOC imagineering team, directed by Julian Sing, created an interactive model to bring the Deltasync vision into reality. A 3D printed building was mounted over an 81cm High Definition LCD display, which looped a motion graphics piece showcasing moving water, text, visuals, entertaining scenery and audio effects. Not only does the screen attract attention, it also allows the client to display more content than a static model ever could, with the added advantage that the content can be dynamic or even updated over time.

The movie shows how FOC Imagineering team managed to combine the rippling animated water, graphics such as flying birds and floating clouds into one continuous animation, which tells the viewer what Deltasync is developing.

To enrich the experience further we added in the sounds of a busy city, people chatting, mobile phones ringing, cars honking and loud boat horns. READ ON

Freedom Of Creation has been exploring the field of 3D printing for nearly a decade. We have been pioneering the future of rapid manufacturing design goods and bringing customization to the masses. One of the promising technologies that will bring lots of new opportunities to 3D printing, is printing in paper.

MCOR has been exploring this technology for several years and with the presentation of the matrix 300 printer it’s becoming reality. Freedom Of Creation is one of the first to print a FreshFiber iPhone cover in colored layers of paper. For the first time the layering effect of 3D printing is actually adding value to the finish and look and feel of a product.

FOC’s Imagineering department collaborated with Aldo Vos and Gabri Klarenbeek from Broekbakema architects, to translate their 2D ideas into the design of a 3D scale model.
We started by converting their 2D CAD files into a digital 3D model of a Concert Hall in Windschoten. After that the environment of the building was brought to life by adding nature and people to it. The model was split in two so it could more easily illustrate the layout and concept to the viewer.
The model was completely laser sintered including fine details like people at a 1:200 scale

“For us it was a new method. We were surprised by the result, specially the level of detail. It  is very impressive!”

Autodesk asked FOC Imagaineering to produce a segment of a recent ONL architects project for the Autodesk head office.. With the goal of illustrating the advancements in 3d design and production. The advanced structure presented in this scale model was used to create the largest BMW showroom in The Netherlands. This is an one piece model laser sintered in Nylon and colored grey to finish.

“Looks great, very happy with the results” - Matthew Tierney, Autodesk
