Reference - Trade show exhibit with water and UV light
A hydro screw agitates the fluorescent granulate in the water. As the granulate slowly settles again, the difference becomes visible. On the protruding standard seal, the granulate that fluoresces under UV light accumulates, while Freudenberg’s hygiene seal remains completely residue-free.
From the idea to the finished trade show exhibit
The path to an impressive trade show demonstrator or interactive functional model begins with your wishes and ideas, whether you already have concrete concepts or want to be inspired by us regarding product presentation. Together we create a solid concept for a trade show model that showcases your product perfectly. You set the framework; our expertise fills the creative scope, tailored to your needs.
The virtual 3D model
The 3D model is the first step to making the exhibit tangible. It allows all details and functions to be implemented precisely according to your requirements.
The real trade show model
The finished trade show exhibit brings your vision to life. With state-of-the-art technology and impressive design, it becomes the highlight of your booth.
Manufacturing the exhibit in the metal and wood workshop
In the workshop, traditional craftsmanship and modern machining technology come together to bring your exhibit to life. Every detail is crafted with care so that your presentation model not only convinces technically but also impresses visually. The use of modern machine tools guarantees highest quality and reliable functionality.
Precision manufacturing of the model using CNC milling technology
Production of the special parts of the exhibition exhibit with modern 3D printing
Modern 3D printing processes enable the production of special parts with complex geometries that are hardly achievable with traditional methods. Durable and robust materials such as carbon-fiber-reinforced high-temperature nylon (PAHT-CF) are used, for example. This allows fast prototype development and rapid adjustments in the development process.
Assembly and wiring of the presentation model in the electronics workshop
The wiring of the demo model is carried out in the electronics workshop. All electronic components are professionally integrated and the control unit is connected with sensors, actuators, and display elements. Professional measurement technology verifies the safe and reliable function of the model. Neat cable routing creates a solid basis for future expansions.
Programming of the demonstrator software
The specially developed software brings the exhibit to life. For time-critical applications, such as smooth LED effects, the highly efficient programming language C++ is used on microcontrollers. Dynamic visualizations on exhibition displays or LED propellers are created using JavaScript, VB.NET, or Swift on powerful mini-PCs. If your product is a sensor or actuator, it will be fully functionally integrated for an impressive product presentation.
Assembly of all components into an exhibition piece
When bringing together all components, mechanics, electronics, and software merge into a perfectly matched overall system that unites functionality and design. Careful workmanship results in an aesthetically pleasing and technically reliable exhibit that will delight visitors at the booth.
Commissioning and test runs of the functional model
The exhibition exhibit is commissioned and intensively tested. Fine-tuning of mechanics, electronics, and software is performed for maximum performance. Careful inspection of all components and connections as well as long-term and stress tests ensure the reliable operation and longevity of the exhibition model.
Shipping the exhibition highlights in a custom-made transport crate
For the safe transport of the exhibit, a custom-made transport crate is manufactured, which every stand builder will appreciate. Massive edge protection, practical quick-release fasteners, and solid carrying handles simplify the quick setup and teardown of the exhibit. Soft padding and form-fitting fixation inside protect the display piece during transport.
Product presentation at the trade show booth
The trade show model developed specifically for your exhibit impresses with its aesthetic design and striking visual effects that attract the attention of trade show visitors from afar. This attractive effect creates a welcoming atmosphere and provides opportunities for natural conversation starters with potential prospects.
