Scale Model

A scale model is a 3D representation of a technological outcome that has all parts in the same proportion of their true size (for example, ¼ full size; 1:4). Scale models are used to test the potential fitness for purpose and/or communicate the physical and functional attributes of a design concept prior to its completion. 

Example: Chopper Motorcycle – This Techlink Student Showcase features a Graphics project of a 1:12 scale model of a chopper motorcycle, uses both drawings and a physical scale model of the motorbike. Level 8.
