PRODUCTION SERVICES
EPH Studios production department and facilities are housed in our 145,000 sq ft studio. We have state of the art equipment and an amazing team of experienced professionals.
Quality is something that drives us. Our skilled artists and fabricators at EPH Studios are the best at what they do. We have a proven track record of diverse projects, ranging across various build sizes from high-end one-off products right through to consistent quality batch productions.
Here are the production services we offer…
Sculpting
The Sculpting department at EPH Studios is one of our largest departments with a very diverse range of output.
Basically there is no limit to what we can sculpt and the forms we can create. Size is not an issue either. We can work extremely big or very small, whatever the design requires! We also have a sculpting CNC mill and a Hotwire CNC which aid manufacture and increase accuracy. This means we are able to recreate any 3D files that you may have, using them as a starting point.
Joinery & Woodwork
Our joinery department is full of creative problem solvers and diversely skilled woodworkers.
What makes our woodwork team special is their versatility and diverse knowledge. They have a part to play in most of our builds and projects. Sometimes this for structural elements, so care is taken to ensure functionality and safety, other times they are providing the final product, meaning the finish must be neat and tidy, ready for painting or staining. With any approach, quality and care is at the forefront of the department.
Scenic Painting and Finishing
From wide colour effects right through to the finer details, our painting is on point.
We can work for a full range of painting styles and can accurately translate concepts and designs into exciting finishes. We can produce vibrant and bold effects or create realistic and detailed finishes. They are a very creative team and are always learning and practising new techniques. Their knowledge, combined with our spray booth facilities means we can get that super crisp simple finish but also authentic and realistic themed finishes.
Our team can easily work to concept visuals or specific defined colour schemes from systems such as RAL or BS paints. They have the diversity and knowledge to take complex aesthetic designs and make them a reality.
Surface Finish
We are surface finish specialists and can guide you along the varying options we can offer for your project or build.
The main two durable surface finishes we offer are GRP & Fibreglass and Plastic Spray Coating. These both have their pros and cons but we understand the processes and their limitations. We also offer lower budget options that can strengthen these soft base materials enough for temporary applications. We are experts in this field so you can trust us to provide you with suitable options for your projects and builds.
Fibreglass / GRP
Part of our surface finish department, we can produce high quality and complex fibreglass models and structures.
We fully understand the materials and have comprehensive knowledge of GRP processes. This means it’s not just the aesthetics that we understand but also the creation of strength with this material as well as combining it with other materials.
Plastic Spray Coating
Our plastic spray coating team is highly skilled. They spray the plastic over a base material, encapsulating it within.
Our plastic spray coating team is highly skilled. They spray the plastic over a base material, encapsulating it within. The liquid plastic hardens very quickly to provide a tough and durable skin that is also slightly flexible and resistant to impact. This can be used over almost any base material, because of its durability and speed of finish, we use it a lot for polystyrene sculptures but also over woodwork when needed.
Mould Making & Casting
This can be a great way to produce replicas, whether you just need 10 or even a thousand, this is a tried and trusted production method.
We have used this production method for years in many projects, especially Event Prop Hire builds. We also provide a rotational moulding and casting service. This is where we use a machine to rotate the mould after we have put in the casting material. The main purpose of this is to reduce material cost as it allows you to cast a hollow replica with a thin plastic wall instead of a solid one.
