- 3D modelling with proposals for separate or joint portals and placing with or without curtain wall,
- Male models in wood,
- Female GRP mould,
- Production of the frames in GRP,
- Inside lighting of portals and labels in low-power LED system,
- Interior screens and plotter machined Imaginarium sign in methacrylate,
