Clubs--Model Engineers

If you need information on model engineer clubs, look under this Yellow Pages® heading. A model engineer is an engineer who specialises in making models, usually of objects that are going to be built or are already built.  Model engineers need to demonstrate exactly what an object will look like but simply on a scaled-down model. This illustrates the structure, and other measurements of the design, and allows for a full picture of what the finished product will look like. This is used normally for demonstrative purposes, so as to showcase a given design, for example, before having it built. In other cases, they might also build models to help to fix a problem, such as a structural issue on a bridge or skyscraper.

Model engineer clubs are usually a gathering of various model engineers, which group together to exchange information. This can help improve processes, exchange knowledge, coordinate colleagues, etc. Model engineer clubs may or may not require a fee, although it is usually put to use back into the organisation. This helps to better improve services, as well as occasionally purchase items that are directly related to the club’s actual functions (i.e. parts, accessories, equipment, etc.).

Although model engineers’ products are usually for demonstrative purposes, they might also create working designs of models. For example, you might find a model engineer that creates models of scaled down working airplanes, which are used to demonstrate the airplane’s manoeuvring capabilities, etc. In this case, the model might be controlled remotely with the help of a computer.
