How to Build High-Quality Mock-Up Models

Efficient and precise mock-up models are a cornerstone of engineering success.

They enable teams to visualize, test, and refine designs while impressing stakeholders and customers during presentations and trade events. Through advanced manufacturing technologies and streamlined workflows, achieving high-quality mock-ups has never been more efficient.

One example of this success is the collaboration between Siemens Energy and Makerverse, which delivered a high-quality mock-up model tailored to stringent specifications.   

The Challenge: Meeting Stringent Mock-Up Requirements

Creating high-quality mock-up models often involves challenges such as strict precision requirements, tight lead times, and the need for scalability.

Traditional manufacturing approaches can fall short when projects demand intricate details, durable materials, and rapid production timelines. Siemens Energy faced these hurdles when their compressor product management team needed a high-precision mock-up model to support development and customer engagement.

For Siemens Energy, the challenge was twofold: producing a model with exacting specifications and achieving this within tight development cycles. Finding a manufacturing partner capable of meeting these demands was critical to success.

The Solution: A Unified Approach to Advanced Manufacturing

Makerverse addressed Siemens Energy’s needs with a comprehensive “all from one source” approach, providing access to multiple manufacturing technologies under one roof. These included:

• CNC Machining: Ideal for creating intricate and highly detailed components.
• Selective Laser Sintering (SLS): Delivering durable prototypes with exceptional accuracy.
• Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM): Enabling rapid prototyping for functional mock-ups.

By combining these technologies, Makerverse ensured Siemens Energy’s mock-up model met the highest standards of precision and durability. The seamless communication and streamlined workflow truly set this partnership apart, reducing procurement complexity and ensuring consistent collaboration.

The Results: Fast, Precise, and Streamlined Mock-Up Creation

The collaboration between Siemens Energy and Makerverse exceeded expectations. Key outcomes included:

• Rapid Turnaround: The mock-up was delivered in as little as six business days.
• Simplified Processes: A single point of contact reduced communication hurdles.
• Exceptional Quality: The final model met Siemens Energy’s rigorous specifications.

Steffen Jahrmarcht, Engineer at Siemens Energy, shared his experience:

“Working with Makerverse on a mock-up project was a fantastic experience. Their ‘all from one source’ approach made the process smooth and efficient. The team’s open dialogue and positive attitude made collaboration effortless. I highly recommend Makerverse and look forward to working together on future projects.”
