Together with our core business of manufacturing polystyrene patterns for the automotive industry, we also manufacture exact replicas of, for example, polystyrene cartoon characters, scaled up or down versions of products for special promotions, polystyrene sculptures for marketing purposes, product launches, exhibition displays, film and television props and advertising features.

 Polystyrene contemporary sofa and table
This polystyrene sofa and table (aquatable) were part of a contemporary furniture collection and was made for a London based furniture manufacturer. They were launching a brand new furniture range where each piece was designed, manufactured and built in Britain and they asked Bakers to produce a polystyrene model of the sofa and table. The end use was for the client to take fibre glass moulds from the polystyrene models to make the production items. |

  Polystyrene gravestone models
We can produce almost anything in polystyrene at Bakers using our range of advanced milling machines and our clients requested these polystyrene, visual mockups of a gravestones.
The designers wanted a 3D models so that their customers could see that the design, coherence and balance was esthetically pleasing before committing to the final productions in stone. |
| The far right gravestone above was produced for Bexley Council Road Safety Campaign and painted to resemble a granite gravestone. |

Tall sculptured polystyrene door
Bakers Patterns made this 4 metre tall, polystyrene sculptured door for a client in Dublin. It will be installed in the clients clothes shop in Dublin's town centre.
The door will be clad in fibreglass and painted to complement the shop's existing colour schemes.

A polystyrene boat hull made for a boat yard
A polystyrene boat hull is far quicker and more cost effective for both low and high volumes than the traditional method of hand making a wooden buck (boat hull). The polystyrene material is also significantly cheaper than typical model boards. |
 In this project, after Bakers Patterns completed the polystyrene boat hull and machined the boat deck, the boat yard then coated the hull with a epoxy resin which they hand finished to a smooth surface, they could then take a fibre glass mould to enable finished boats to be produced.
After the Naval Architects have finished their design stage, Bakers Patterns can organise CAD where required prior to producing the polystyrene model.
