Mola Structural Kit 1 – Practical Structural & Architectural Modeling for real-life analysis

Probably the most realistic construction toy in the market today, Mola is an interactive physical model that simulates the behavior of architectural structures. Including a set of modular pieces easily combinable with magnetic assemblers, with Mola you can translate paper plans into reliable 3D scale models that will obey the laws of nature just like a real life building would.

With Mola Structural Kit 1, you can build different structural systems, visualize the movements and deformations of their elements, and have a sensory and proven experience of structural behavior using your own hands.

The aim of such study is to develop, from the experience with the model, an intuitive knowledge of the structural behavior, which is essential for Architects and Engineers, particularly in the conception phase of a project.

The Mola Structural Kit 1 requires no prior technical knowledge for you to start studying the structures. Its use is very simple and instinctive and is applicable to both professionals and students, as well as anyone interested in the subject.

This qualitative analysis tool can be used as a resource to conventional methods of study, conception and verification of structures.

Price already includes Brazilian duties and importation paid.
