Analysis of the entire process of making a sand table model for hydrogen energy application scenarios
1、 Project Background and Design Concept
The sand table model of hydrogen energy application scenarios reproduces typical scenarios of the hydrogen energy industry chain at a scale of 1:100, including four modules: hydrogen production stations, storage and transportation equipment, hydrogen refueling stations, and terminal applications. The model adopts a modular design concept, achieving a 90% scene restoration degree, with a focus on highlighting the clean characteristics of hydrogen energy and industrial aesthetics.
2、 Core material selection strategy
1. Main structural materials
Aviation grade PVC board: 3mm thick board laser cut building contour, surface polished with sandpaper to present industrial texture
Stainless steel wire mesh: simulating the metal frame of hydrogen energy equipment, enhancing the reflective effect through electroplating treatment
Acrylic gradient sheet: making transparent components for hydrogen pipelines, with built-in LED light strips to simulate gas flow
2. Scene presentation materials
Mineral pigment base: blending gray blue color scheme to depict modern industrial scenes, using dry sweeping techniques to highlight the mechanical feel of equipment
UV resin terrain: casting micro mountainous terrain and embedding fluorescent powder to simulate nighttime work scenarios
Metal etching sheet: precision machining equipment nameplates, safety signs and other detailed components
3、 Layered production process
1. Infrastructure construction
Installation of PVC main frame using mortise and tenon structure, with key connection points reinforced with epoxy resin
The hydrogen storage tank uses 3D printed hollow shell, and is filled with transparent gel to simulate liquid hydrogen
The hydrogen refueling station canopy is made of 0.5mm copper wire woven mesh and sprayed with matte paint to restore the metal roof
2. Dynamic system integration
Micro air pump system: Transparent silicone tubing connects various nodes, and a micro fan drives airflow circulation
Fiber optic transmission system: 0.5mm fiber optic bundle simulates the refueling process of hydrogen powered vehicles
Magnetic module: replaceable fuel cell vehicle model, with embedded magnets in the chassis for quick positioning
4、 Multi stage coloring process
1. Base treatment
Industrial equipment uses metal paint as a base, combined with sponge tapping to create a rusting effect
The building facade is coated with multiple layers of enamel paint, and the color penetration is controlled by a thinner
2. Detail enhancement
The instrument panel adopts transfer printing technology to ensure that the scale markings are clear and distinguishable
Fluorescent orange accents are placed at the pipeline connections to highlight high-pressure hazard warning signs
Acrylic varnish is used for ground marking, which presents a reflective effect at night
3. Creating a scene atmosphere
The refueling area uses gradient blue LED to simulate the visual effect of low-temperature hydrogen mist
Micro circuit boards are implanted in the control room window to dynamically display operating parameters
Surrounding greenery is encapsulated with UV cured resin and embedded with miniature landscape lights
