Mecc Alte: Alternator Range
MEE (various)
Working with a design partner, we created an engaging display of alternators showing the product range and internal workings.
- A detailed cutaway to reveal internal components
- Strategic lighting to highlight key parts
- Unique mounts at varying heights for instant range recognition
The end product was a visually striking display that drew high engagement and delivered excellent ROI for this trade show.
Perkins: Tractor Wireframe Engine Display
Agritechnica
For this imaginative piece we once again worked with a design house, this time to show case an engine. In this case we created a bespoke piece that fit the practical farming market by showing the engine in a tractor wire frame, the preferred vehicle for this engine. One side revealed the complete tractor outline; the other displayed the fully show-prepared engine. This flexible storytelling tool made technical details easy to understand and remember.
Valeo: ‘How It Works’ Clutch Demonstrator
Automechanika and Training
We were challenged to create a piece which as durable, reusable and education, we engineered an exploded clutch model showing every internal component in detail.
- Showcase all the internal working elements
- Informative piece demonstrating the functionality
- Built for repeated use at events and in training
- Ensured technical accuracy for effective learning
- Reduced marketing costs and improved sustainability by eliminating the need for new builds for each event
JCB: Large-Scale Power System Display
Bauma (various)
Moving from a small, easy to transport piece to a large show-stopping piece now. This informative, impactfully product display showcases the integration of components within a power system. The large size ensured it stood out on the show floor, creating strong footfall, while the internal lighting drew visitors in for a closer look.
Ricardo: 3D Printed Engine Model
Product Launch (various)
For Ricardo’s product launch we created a 3D printed version of their latest engine, with a real metal paint finish. The 3D printed model incorporated cutaway sections to demonstrate alternative fuel integration and internal mechanics. The results was a display of technical innovation so realistic it was hard to believe it was 3D printed.
Revelare: Surface Design Show Centrepiece
Surface Design Show 2023
The final display comes from our sister company, Revelare. Revelare are respected applicators of traditional, specialist and liquid metal finishes. For the Surface Design Show 2023 we partnered with a stand builder to create a giant cube showcasing a variety of specialist finishes as a standout centre piece. Designed for people to stop and walk all the way around, it drew high footfall and sparked curiosity. The main question being ‘will it fall over?’.
- Ingeniously engineered for stability with an internal pole structure
- Shipped securely by the excellent team at Exhibition Freighting
- Now on display in Revelare’s Peterborough showroom
