This is a 1:100 scale smart port sand table model custom-built for King Abdul Aziz Port (Dammam Port), Saudi Arabia, produced through collaboration between CIMC and model manufacturer QZY Models.
Dammam Port CIMC 1:100 Model
Manufacturing Techniques & Functional Features
I. Core Manufacturing Techniques
Proportional Precision
Strictly built to a 1:100 miniature scale; all buildings, equipment, and vehicles are scaled down from actual Dammam Port facilities with a tolerance controlled within ±0.1mm.
Key structures (including cable-stayed bridges, offshore drilling platforms, and spherical storage tanks) adopt CAD modeling, 3D printing, and CNC precision machining to restore mechanical structures and appearance details.
Materials & Finishing
Main frame: aerospace-grade ABS engineering plastic with aluminum alloy skeleton, ensuring structural strength and long-term stability.
Surface treatment: automotive-grade baking paint with UV-resistant coating, simulating realistic textures of metal, concrete, and seawater.
Logo reproduction: CIMC, Dammam Port and other brand logos are applied via silk-screen or pad-printing, with consistent font and color matching to real objects.
Scene Restoration
Landform & terrain: simulated Dammam Port coastline, port roads, and green belts using simulated grass powder, sand and gravel, and water-effect paste.
Equipment details: containers, quay cranes, trains, trucks, etc., are restored with authentic structures and paint finishes, including openable hatches and movable booms.
II. Intelligent Demonstration Functions
Dynamic Operation Simulation
Sea-rail intermodal transport: container trains run on tracks to simulate cargo transportation from the port to inland destinations.
Loading & unloading process: quay cranes and yard cranes enable spreader lifting and trolley traversing, simulating container handling from vessels to storage yards.
Vehicle dispatch: trucks, mixers and other engineering vehicles travel along preset routes, with lighting effects to display logistics scheduling scenarios.
Lighting & Ambience Creation
Environmental lighting: simulates day and night modes; port streetlights, building outline lights, and vessel navigation lights illuminate synchronously.
Functional lighting: LNG storage tanks, drilling platforms, and energy facilities are equipped with warning lights and working lights to highlight the port’s role as an energy hub.
Water feature effects: blue LED light strips with flowing effects simulate shimmering seawater, enhancing scene immersion.
Interactive Control
Supports touch control, push-button control, and software remote control. Individual operations (e.g., single quay crane loading/unloading, train departure) can be triggered separately, or full-process automated demonstration can be activated.
Compatible with narration audio to synchronously explain Dammam Port’s operation mode and the application of CIMC equipment.
III. Application Value
Corporate exhibition: as a landmark achievement of cooperation between CIMC and Dammam Port, used in exhibitions, headquarters showrooms, and project presentations to visually demonstrate an integrated "equipment + logistics + energy" solution.
Education & training: serves as a practical teaching tool for port operation, logistics management, offshore engineering and other disciplines, helping trainees understand port operation procedures.
