Micro-model resolves pressing issues of engineering products and systems, that are critical for their presentation and selling. These issues are related to:

Product Complexity: Micro-modeling helps in bringing all the design and structural complexity in the proximity of the audience at an arms distance. Further, Micro-modeling helps in selectively highlighting particular design, contour or precision elements. Figure 1, showcases cut-section miniaturized engineering model of Motorized Drive for off-highway vehicles from a global engineering conglomerate, that helped its team in enhanced visualization and productive engineering practices. |

This engineering model is being used for enhancing product visualization of design engineers Designs of engineering models are constrained by respective engineering standards. These have rigid scaling and precision contours based upon industrial tolerances. The dynamic engineering models, apart from needing the home automation electronics, require implementation of industrial automation and control systems, often with user application software. Most of the engineering models are custom built that need very high level of engineering innovation in materials, tools and manufacturing process. The process of miniaturization of engineering objects, typically, follows the process similar to that involved in manufacturing custom built engineering products. Starting with engineering specifications, it followsthrough design phase that specifies material, process, tools, machines, |

| drawings, components and assembly. Of course, that is the situation, where skill and experience of engineering designer comes into play. Although, there are instances when exact replicas have been done with mere a couple of photographs supplied by clients, client’s awareness of the process of miniaturization, as an engineering practice, helps in delivering high quality engineering models. |
