Digital Fabrication for
Custom Props & Attractions

Turn a digital design into something guests can experience.

Creative Visions uses large-format 3D printing and CNC foam carving as part of our approach to creating custom props, statues, photo opportunities and themed attraction elements.

We combine digital fabrication with practical construction, coatings, custom painting and scenic finishing to turn a model into a finished dimensional piece.

Your Idea Takes Shape

A digital model is a starting point. Bringing it into the physical world requires decisions about scale, materials, construction and how the finished piece will be used.

We can work with your existing 3D model, concept artwork, drawings or reference photographs. If your idea is still taking shape, we can help develop it into a design we can fabricate.

Our approach can support:

The Right Method for the Form

Different shapes and projects call for different fabrication methods.

Large-format 3D printing allows us to produce dimensional forms from digital models. CNC foam carving provides another approach for creating sculptural shapes and large scenic elements.

We choose the approach around the design, dimensions, level of detail, intended setting and budget. A project may combine several methods, including hand sculpting where it makes sense.

Creating the shape is one part of the work.

Depending on the project, we incorporate supporting construction, assemble sections and prepare surfaces for the appropriate coating and finish. Fiberglass or polyurea hard coating may be used where the design and intended use call for it.

For pieces designed to glow, our Crystal Clear fiberglass offers the strength of fiberglass with a clear quartz-like appearance that can be backlit.

Custom painting and scenic finishing bring color, texture and character to the piece, helping it fit your attraction’s theme or your brand’s visual identity.

Planned for Its Real-World Setting

The finished piece needs to work where it belongs.

We consider indoor or outdoor placement, expected guest interaction, transportation, site access and assembly when planning fabrication. For oversized projects, that can include determining how the piece will be divided into sections and brought together at its destination.

Those practical decisions help connect the digital design to the requirements of the finished installation.

Creative Experience Behind the Technology

Creative Visions has been building unusual props and attraction elements since 1992.

Digital tools are part of that experience. Our work brings together artistic judgment, fabrication knowledge and attention to the finished appearance.

Projects are produced at our 20,000-square-foot St. Louis facility and shipped worldwide.

Let’s Bring Your Idea into the Physical World

Send us your concept, approximate dimensions, quantity, delivery location and target completion date. Let us know where the piece will be used and how guests will interact with it.

Include any existing 3D files, drawings, reference images or branding you have available. We’ll help determine a practical approach to creating the finished piece.
