Fireman’s Landing at Silver Dollar City is designed with the atmosphere and theming of an old-time volunteer firefighter recruitment fair. Herschend Family Entertainment, Silver Dollar City’s parent company, wanted every element of the 1880s city to harken back to the days of bucket brigades and volunteer firemen […]
Ron Clark, the visionary co-founder of The Ron Clark Academy in Atlanta, Georgia, knew exactly what he wanted for the centerpiece of the school’s new Educator Training Facility: a life-size dragon skeleton. Never one to be easily dissuaded from making big dreams come true, he called on Chisel 3D to help. As with any project […]
There are many ways to create a themed environment: with characters dreamed up in one’s imagination, with a fun motif like Mardi Gras or pirate ships, or with oversized props and letters guaranteed to generate the proverbial double take. One of the more challenging approaches to bringing a theme to life is with detailed figures […]
One of the mysteries of B2B marketing is how to get people to stop at a trade show booth. Since Chisel 3D specializes in, “sizzle,” we’ve helped many customers turn their booths from okay to oh, wow! That was certainly the case with the Venowave, a medical device for treating problems related to poor circulation. […]
NBA players are big, but Chisel 3D and marketing agency CSE are taking Atlanta Hawks superstar Paul Millsap to new heights. The venture began when CSE decided to feature a much-bigger-than-life Millsap on an interstate billboard promoting the team and a contest.

It had to work in print and electronic media, of course, but it also had to be designed to […]
Not everything Chisel 3D creates is off-the-wall. Just ask visitors to the Zuckerman Museum of Art at Kennesaw State University in Kennesaw, Georgia. Soaring above the entry stairwell is a dramatic work of public art that Chisel 3D is proud to have been part of. Atlanta architectural firm Stanley, Beaman & Sears designed the strikingly […]
Advertising campaigns are great, but savvy marketers know that to get the most mileage from those big budgets, you have to take the idea to the streets. That’s exactly what Skittles did with one of their typically off-the-wall TV campaigns, this one starring Skittles fanatics in the grip of gigantic human hands. The idea was […]
Scribbling on tablecloths, jotting numbers on napkins – we’ve all done it to share information or convey an idea. A customer of Atlanta theming fabricator Chisel 3D recently upped the ante on this age-old practice by asking to recreate a giant Rudolph reindeer based solely on a grainy, 50-plus-year-old newspaper clipping and the faded memories […]
If there was a world record for helping people set world records, Chisel 3D would most certainly be in the running. A request from the ad agency representing Musselman’s Apple Sauce is one such example. They asked us to create a bowl big enough to achieve the Guinness World Record for the World’s Largest Bowl […]
