Super Realistic Miniature Model
Do you think it’s just a normal photo of sceneries at first glimpse? As a matter of fact, everything in this photo, even the glistening water surface, is a miniature model built by Luke Towan. The small but authentic model can’t help but amaze everyone.
With the beamo laser cutter, Towan made a 1:87 Iron Bridge. Compared to the laser cutter he used before, the camera alignment function of beamo can help Towan place his design more precisely and accurately. He used beamo to cut 1mm acrylic sheets and then combined all the components to build the main body of the bridge. With the powerful function and delicate engraving capability of beamo, Towan reduced the Iron Bridge to 87% in size. Building up a magical miniature model catching everyone’s eyes.
