FOC Imagineering 7.Oct.2009
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

FOC Imagineering 4.Oct.2009
Working with Zelian and PlasticsEurope FOC Imagineering created a laser sintered scale model that explains the features of the development project. We wanted to bring the model to life by adding in people, furniture, cars and even light fittings. Going into this detail created a sense of fun and interest. The model is used by PlasticsEurope to promote sustainable housing development projects. The Scale for this 3d printed model is 1:90.

FOC Imagineering creates a unique scale model for Hootsmans architects. The assignment was to convert a chapel into a school building for the Communal Institution for Child Protection. The conversion comprised of twelve classrooms all of which are reversible and temporary.
The model was laser sintered in one go and mounted on a white base finished off with a clear display case, the scale for this model was 1:100.
‘It is wonderful having discovered the 3D printing process for the construction of our architectural models. In the case of our design for chapel De Zande, with its fragmented interior, Laser sintering made a marvellous model.’ -Hootsmans Architects READ ON
FOC general 28.Sep.2009
FOC creates 3D characters for a new show on BBC called “Bang goes the theory”. The FOC part starts after 2 minutes.
About the show:
It is, says presenter Dallas Campbell, a show for “anyone who is remotely curious about life, the Universe and pretty much everything.”
Now that’s a pretty broad scope, but what Bang Goes The Theory aims to do is look at how science shapes the world around us, in an engaging and relevant way. It’s about making science fascinating – and fun. READ ON
