After 19 years of working with Chris, Solve 3D continue to be our selected partner for high-quality model and prototype construction.

I have worked with Chris for over 15 years in my capacity as creative director of Samsung Design Europe. In the early years we used Chris and his team as an extension of our studio developing product concepts through foam modeling then developing these concepts into high quality appearance models.

Although in recent years most of our appearance models have been made at our Seoul studios, from time to time we still rely on the Solve 3D team to solve particularly challenging technical issues. Chris and his team have the rare ability to intuitively understand and accurately represent a client’s design intent often from the most basic information. Chris is one of the most creative people I have met in this valuable area of the design industry and I have no hesitation in recomending Solve 3D.

Clive Goodwin: Creative Director Samsung Design Europe
I first worked with Chris more than ten years ago when I was an industrial designer at Nokia. What made his models stand out then, is the reason I continue to work with Chris now - attention to detail combined with an outstanding level of finish. When I order a model from Chris I never need to worry about the quality, his perfectionism guarantees that the model will exceed my expectations.

Working as a consultant, the models I present to clients are a reflection of the quality of my own work. With Chris I know that my designs will be presented in the best possible light.And on top of that, he's never once failed to meet a deadline (even the stupid ones).

Dear Chris

This is a quick note to say thank you from all of the team at British Airways for your hard work in developing the stunning models you installed at the CDC for us a couple of weeks ago.

From my perspective, I think they represent one of the highest definition models that I have ever seen and are wonderful. We are all very excited to share your work with our wider team over the comming weeks and are truly greatful for the detail and effort that has gone into your work.

Kind Regards

Recommendation from Champ Industrial Design

I have known and used Chris for over ten years and he has become a good friend.

Not only are his models world class but the input you get when trying to solve tricky issues with a model is invaluable. Chris is capable of out-designing an awful lot of very competent designers out there and I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him and the service he provides.
