What is Engineering model making?

Engineering model making is the process of creating a physical street-scale, 3D replica of a building or other structure by combining measurements and computer-aided design with professional carpentry. Model makers create many types of models for use in different industries including architecture, engineering, film production and construction. With the emergence of virtual reality as an alternative medium to architecture, engineering model making has seen a significant growth in its scope and application due to its intimate relation with cinema.
