Features
  • Precision-Engineered Industrial Aesthetic: Created through a sophisticated process of offset cutting and stretching, this mesh provides a continuous, unwelded structure with a unique 3D geometry that is ideal for simulating advanced architectural facades and industrial grilles.
  • Optimal High-Detail Scale: Featuring a technical specification of 6.0/3.0-0.6/0.5, this fine mesh offers the perfect scale-density for architectural model making, providing realistic transparency and texture for ventilation systems and privacy screens.
  • Effortless Fabrication: Despite its structural rigidity, the aluminium material is exceptionally easy to machine; it can be cleanly cut with standard heavy-duty scissors or a craft cutter, allowing for rapid custom shaping.
  • Advanced Adhesive Compatibility: The expanded surface area is highly receptive to a variety of model-making adhesives, including UHU Hart and cyanoacrylate (superglue), ensuring a secure and permanent bond to structural frameworks.
  • Versatile Design Format: Supplied in a convenient 250 x 250mm square, this mesh is a definitive resource for designers seeking to add depth, light-diffusion, or mechanical "greebles" to prototypes and display models.
  • Sustainable Metal Composition: Lightweight yet durable, this aluminium mesh offers a professional metallic finish that can be left raw for a modern look or primed and painted for specific environmental weathering.

Description

Fine expanded metals made of aluminium are very suitable as a material for architectural model making due to their easy machinability and their special aesthetics. They can also be used as a decorative or craft material, but you should always handle them with care so as not to injure yourself on the cut edges.

You can easily cut the fine aluminium expanded metal with scissors or a cutter and glue it with some adhesives (for example, UHU Hart or superglue).

Expanded metal is produced from sheet metal by cutting into it in an offset manner and then stretching it. In expanded metal, the material is not joined at any point (e.g. welded as in steel wire mesh).
