Mincon asked WhiteClouds to create eight models of its down-the-hole drilling tools for CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2020 in Las Vegas. The set gave the company a way to present multiple large industrial products together, including a 60-inch-diameter drill-through ring-bit casing system, without moving the full weight of the working equipment through the exhibit hall.
Eight drilling-tool forms organized as one display
The completed exhibit includes several long hammer and bit models arranged vertically, along with the large ring-bit system displayed beside them. Differences in diameter, length, end geometry, and exterior pattern remain visible across the group.
Mincon's yellow-and-gray color treatment and applied labels connect the separate models as one product family. The arrangement allows visitors to compare the scaled forms within a single branded display area.
Representing twelve tons of equipment with lightweight replicas
The eight lightweight replicas stood in for more than twelve tons of full-size equipment while weighing only a few hundred pounds in total. That change made the physical product range more practical to move and arrange for the trade show.
The models were representational display objects rather than operational drilling tools. They communicated exterior form, relative size, and product differences.
FDM printing used for large industrial model components
WhiteClouds used its FDM print farm as part of the fabrication process. Large printed components provided the cylindrical bodies, complex bit geometry, and repeated surface features needed across the eight-model set.
After assembly and finishing, the models received the colors and markings visible in Mincon's booth. The completed pieces presented the exterior forms of the drilling equipment as physical display replicas.
Planning an industrial product-replica set
A similar project should define the equipment list, desired scale for each item, CAD or drawing sources, must-show features, display orientation, stands or mounts, approved graphics, shipping limits, venue access, destination, and schedule.
