Topographic Models and Maps |
A common tool of architects, the topographic model has come a long way in
terms of accuracy and fabrication. Modern computer mapping
techniques and satellite imaging have made it possible for today's exhibit
designer to portray a geographical area in detail with realistic touches
only dreamed of in the past.Fiber Optic
Systems has combined topographic maps and models with fiber optic
technology to bring a new and exciting dimension to displays and exhibits.
Our Model builders can fabricate any type of model to stringent
specifications, with spectacular results. On this page you will see
examples of a variety of modeling techniques. If a topographic model
is in your exhibit design, let FOSI be your guide.

Models
designed by FOSI are required to meet very demanding specifications.
They are designed to withstand the demanding conditions of the museum
environment, and last for years.
Built from a combination of hard closed cell foam
and fiber glass, a FOSI designed model can take the abuse that hundreds of
thousands of little fingers can inflict over the life of an exhibit. |
| A FOSI
designed Topographic map can be incorporated into practically any type of
exhibit enclosure. When combined with Fiber Optic effects the results are
amazing! You can find out more information

Beautiful
details can be achieved by the use of texturing, painting, and sculpting
of the model surface. Difference in foliage can be readily observed by the
visitor. Terrain scale can be exaggerated to emphasize the differences in
elevation. |
| When the
Topographic model is combined with fiber optic magic by FOSI, the story
your are trying to tell comes to life for the visitor. Battlefield
exhibits can effectively show troop movements, explosions, and gunfire.
When combined with an audio narration the visitor will have a greater
understanding of the historical significance of the event portrayed. |

General Details such as watersheds, deserts, mountains,
are enhanced by a topographic model. Remember FOSI is the leader in
combining fiber optic exhibit techniques with state of the art model
fabrication. Call FOSI today!
