II. Key Considerations for Model Selection
1. Core objective orientation
Marketing presentation priority: Opt for master plan models combined with floor plan models to emphasize visual impact and daily living scenarios, complemented by lighting effects and dynamic animations.
Planning decision-making priority: Prioritize master plan/zone models, emphasizing data accuracy and functional layout, suitable for government agencies and design institutes.
Training/teaching priority: Industrial/research sand tables are preferred, emphasizing structural transparency and interactivity for easy disassembly and demonstration.
2. Budget and Size Limitations
Adequate budget: Choose a smart interactive sandbox featuring integrated multimedia, touch controls, and AR technologies to elevate presentation quality.
Limited budget: A basic physical sand table suffices for core requirements, with priority given to model accuracy and scene fidelity.
Space constraints: Wall-mounted or compact desktop sand tables are recommended to save space while ensuring effective information delivery.
3. Cycle and Use Cases
Short-term marketing (6-12 months): Standard physical sand table model with high cost-effectiveness and low maintenance costs.
Long-term display (3-5 years): It is recommended to select high-precision durable materials with modular design for easy subsequent updates and localized adjustments.
Mobile display/touring exhibition: Recommended foldable modular sand tables for easy disassembly, transportation, and multi-site compatibility.
