Scale models were needed to test the design of a new high-speed military attack craft. First, PROTOGENESIS modeled the struts in 3D. Then, toolpaths were developed over the contoured surfaces. Finally, the two-piece models were machined from solid aluminum for testing in a hydrodynamics laboratory.

What is a Model?
A model is usually a non-working prototype which is made to look like the product. Models can be scaled up or down and constructed from materials other than those of the production product.

Cranford Street, a product design company, invented this talking horoscope alarm clock. Users who program their birth date into the clocks are awakened each morning by "Jennifer Sands^tm, Talking Psychic^tm" reading their personal horoscope. Successful marketing campaigns for this and several related products were launched using models made by PROTOGENESIS.
