Krios 5 Cryo-TEM Building Block Model Project
LHYY PROJECT
Krios 5 Cryo-TEM Building Block Model Project
A scientific instrument building block project based on the recognizable exterior of the Thermo Scientific Krios 5 Cryo-TEM, developed as an engaging branded model for scientific teams, product programs, exhibitions and corporate gifting.
Project Snapshot
The Project Need
Scientific instruments can be difficult to translate into memorable promotional products because their value often comes from highly specialized engineering and recognizable industrial design.
For this project, the objective was to transform the visual identity of the Krios 5 Cryo-TEM into a compact building block model that could work as a scientific gift, desktop display and interactive brand experience.
The Challenge
The Krios 5 has a distinctive enclosure, front workspace area and complex internal structure. A successful building block interpretation needed to preserve the recognizable visual character of the instrument while still creating a practical model that could be assembled from standard interlocking components.
The project also required a balance between exterior appearance, structural stability, assembly experience and presentation quality.
Our Solution
LHYY translated the Krios 5 reference into a 305-piece ABS building block model with a black, gray and green visual scheme that reflects the recognizable appearance of the original instrument.
The model includes opening dual front doors, allowing the completed build to reveal a multi-layered internal structure. Printed exterior details provide additional visual definition while keeping the model suitable for repeated handling, assembly and display.
The result combines scientific subject matter with an interactive assembly experience, making the model suitable for laboratories, conferences, exhibitions, customer programs and corporate gifting.
Production & Customization Capabilities
For similar scientific instrument projects, LHYY can develop the model structure, branded exterior details, packaging and assembly materials according to project requirements.
- Custom building block structure and exterior appearance
- Brand colors and printed graphic elements
- Custom packaging and instruction manuals
- Prototype review before mass production
- Project-specific quality control
- International shipping and global delivery coordination
Project Packaging
Custom Packaging
The finished 305-piece model was paired with project-specific presentation packaging that visually connects the building block model with the reference instrument and provides a complete branded presentation.
Project Outcome
The finished model turns a complex cryo-electron microscope into a recognizable, buildable scientific display piece. It provides a more interactive way to present scientific technology than conventional promotional merchandise while remaining practical for gifting, exhibitions and desktop display.
Frequently Asked Questions
