When a business has an idea for a product on paper, they often take that blue print to a pattern maker who crafts a three-dimensional representation of the product. This three-dimensional pattern or model can then be taken to a foundry where metal replications of the prototype can be manufactured. Pattern makers often craft patters, models and prototypes out of wood, metal or plastic. Pattern makers often work with clients to trouble shoot problems in the blue prints so that the product may be better brought to three-dimensional life. Some pattern makers can make prototypes or models of products that will not be manufactured at a foundry.
