MinNature


MinNature is a permanent model railway exhibition, mainly produced with 3D printing in Subang Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia. The exhibition, spanning 17,000 sq ft, is the first of its kind to be opened in Malaysia.
The exhibition typically showcases the culture and lifestyle of the people of Malaysia, but also displays many exhibits that represent other parts of the world. The majority of the buildings and structures are designed and fabricated in-house using 3D design and 3D printing technology. In January 2017, there were over 2,500 feet of railway tracks running along the 7,744 sq ft of modeling area.
MinNature Malaysia also has a workshop to let visitors have a chance to try to do miniature modelling such as a house, a tree and even more depending on one's creativity.
The exhibition intended to launch its second phase by the second half of 2017, which was to include a train depot, an airport and the Petronas Twin Tower.

History

The 3D design and 3D print works started in June 2014 and it took over 2 years to completely fabricate all of the models for the first phase. The in situ construction and assembly started mid-March 2016 and was completed in November 2016.
