The studio

Accuracy is the product.

Ironfin is a Greater Toronto Area studio building topographically accurate 3D visualizations, drone photogrammetry, and VR walkthroughs for infrastructure and resource projects across Canada, including more than a decade of work supporting open-pit mining permits and consultation.

Built from the ground, literally.

Our site-based visualizations are grounded in real project data, using sources such as survey data, topographic data, satellite imagery, site photography, and drone photogrammetry. That grounding is why our renders get mistaken for footage, and why they hold up in the settings that matter: regulatory review, public hearings, and community consultation. To start, send us a location and whatever reference material you have.

Deliverables

  • 3D stills
  • Animated flyovers
  • Physically simulated water
  • VR walkthroughs
  • Drone photogrammetry scans
  • Underground flythroughs
  • Motion studies from existing imagery

Ironfin’s visualizations have been used in consultation and regulatory affairs at Agnico Eagle’s Nunavut operations, supporting approvals for expansions and new developments.

A Hudson Bay pump station moved forward after the community saw exactly what would be built on their shoreline, and approved it.

The Government of Nunavut inquired about our drone services after seeing our 3D flyover renders, mistaking them for actual footage.

“Ironfin’s 3D renders showcased our SONAR technology with amazing accuracy and realism. The visuals were so compelling we used them in our brochures instead of actual photographs.”

“Ironfin has provided a unique and exceptional product that has been used in consultation and regulatory affairs.”

Start with a location and whatever reference material you have.

That’s usually enough for us to start scoping the project. We’ll come back with an approach, the technical inputs we need, a timeline, and a quote.
