Model Makers are expected to produce highly accurate, detailed models within allotted timeframes. This requires expertise, precision, and often long hours to meet project deadlines.

The work can be physically demanding, requiring fine motor skills and attention to safety protocols. But the satisfaction of turning a concept into a tangible, functioning product can be very rewarding!

3D printing and CAD software have revolutionized model making, enabling more intricate models while reducing production time and costs. There’s also an industry shift towards replacing traditional materials with biodegradable or recyclable alternatives. In addition, companies are turning more to eco-friendly processes that reduce waste and energy consumption.

Another trend is the integration of augmented and virtual reality, allowing designers to project digital models into real-world environments or become immersed in a 3D space for real-time interaction. To some extent, these new technologies are actually reducing the need for physical model-making, but they’re also making it much easier to collaborate on projects remotely. 

Model Makers are very hands-on people who might have enjoyed creating things from a young age. They likely spent hours on hobbies such as model building, woodworking, or crafting. Many grew up with a natural curiosity about how things are made!
