Built for impact. Designed for precision.
EDM specialises in the design and manufacture of Full Scale Replicas (FSRs) for defence, aerospace and specialist sectors. Whether used for training, planning, concept development, exhibitions or recruitment — our FSRs are built to impress, inform, and perform.
Ranging from low-fidelity mock-ups to high-fidelity, fully immersive showpieces, each replica is engineered to meet specific requirements for scale, ergonomics, detail and durability. These replicas allow our clients to visualise complex systems, test human factors, or showcase next-generation platforms — all without needing an operational asset.
EDM’s in-house team works closely with clients to deliver solutions tailored to purpose, timescale, and budget — using real OEM data wherever available to ensure technical and visual authenticity.
Applications include:
Training and familiarisation
Recruitment and outreach
Engineering design validation
Exhibitions and trade shows
Visitor centres and education
Marketing and investor engagement
