Hands-On Exhibits

Interactive models produced with the maximum simplicity and mechanical durability. These models can be made from specifications and plans, or can be devised in our laboratory.

We have constructed models of classic experiences on electricity, magnetism, mechanics and optics among other themes. Frequently, we ourselves propose the type of experiment or we solve the technical aspects if the client asks for it. We can also construct display cabinets and the expository furniture from an existing design.
