Our Purpose

The APMM is the only organization exclusively for professional model makers. We believe there is no better place for the brightest and most experienced professionals, students, educators, along with the best vendors of materials and equipment to interact and share ideas within the model making community.

The APMM is an international community of nearly 600 professional model makers, including students, educational institutions, freelance shops and corporations. We represent and unite specialists in diverse fields including architecture, automotive, consumer products, displays and dioramas, engineering prototypes, film/special effects, industrial design, and toy sculpting.

We provide members with opportunities to interact with their colleagues through a range of membership options: student, professional individual, model shop/studio and group memberships.

Our members are involved in and remain at the forefront of technology and industry advancements, while developing professionally and through organizational leadership opportunities.
