3D Printing
3D printing is a fast and affordable way to make difficult parts from tough ABS plastic. Modeled Horizons chose the Dimension 1200es 3D printer by Stratasys because durability is a key factor and we ship models around the world,
Stereolithography (SLA) parts can be very brittle and not very durable. ABSplus material is heated plastic, fused together in layers to form very strong parts which can be sanded smooth and painted to a perfect finish.
We provide any level of finish you would like:
Unfinished - support material removed - any color you desire.
Sanded smooth - ready for paint, presentation or varification
Sanded smooth, primed and painted.
Simply send us a CAD file of your part in almost any format and we will get you pricing, usually within minutes!
Laser Cutting & Etching
Laser Cutting & Etching is an extremely fast and accurate way of cutting plastic and wood flat stock. The Universal Laser Systems laser is truely the workhorse of our model fabrication. The laser has the capability of cutting materials ranging in any thickness from 1/4" to paper thin leaving only a .005" wide cut. Etching logos and artwork into walnut and many other materials is attractive and looks professional.

CAD and Graphic Design
The models created by Modeled Horizons are designed using powerful CAD and Graphic programs, such as AutoCAD Architecture, Solidworks, KeyCreator, Rhino and CorelDraw. We have the capability to import most files and prepare them for 3D Printing, Laser Cutting or CNC Milling.
Painting and Finishing
Painting and Finishing has been made simple by our new Matthews Paint System. We can now match over 70,000 existing colors. We simply use an online retrieval system to get formulas for colors from many manufacturers from Benjamin Moore to Pantones to Valspar Paints. We use brilliant and durable acrylic polyurethane paint to achieve the many special finishes we have perfected.
Automated & Mechanical Models
Automated and Mechanical Models consists of adding motion, sound or lights to animate a model. Modeled Horizons has created interactive or fully automated models as seen in our various videos below.
