modelezés

Modelezés is a Hungarian term that translates to "modeling" or "sculpting" in English. It generally refers to the creation of three-dimensional objects through the manipulation of pliable materials. This can encompass a wide range of artistic and practical applications.

In an artistic context, modelezés involves shaping materials such as clay, wax, plaster, or even dough to form sculptures, figures, or decorative elements. Artists often use various tools, including their hands, to mold, carve, and refine the material until the desired form is achieved. This process can be additive, where material is built up, or subtractive, where material is removed.

Beyond fine arts, modelezés also has practical uses. In fields like product design and engineering, it is used to create prototypes and mock-ups of new products. Model makers might use these techniques to visualize and test designs before committing to full-scale production. In dentistry, specialized materials are modeled to create crowns, bridges, and other dental prosthetics. The term can even extend to the creation of miniature models for architecture, hobbies, or educational purposes. The core principle remains the same: shaping a material into a specific three-dimensional form.
