Almost every architect's office has at least one: a lovingly handcrafted scale model of a big project, usually under Plexiglas. These models represent hundreds of hours of labor by trained model-makers, working from sketches and conversations with the design team, and they may be going the way of the dodo. In this era of ever-changing technology, 3-D printers are on the way to becoming a cost-effective and accessible option for architects. With them, the ability to make fast and relatively inexpensive plastic models of everything from curtain wall details to entire buildings is available to you.

Massing Models for Concept Development

• 3D Print directly from CAD data
• Produce models quickly and inexpensively

Design Study of Critical Elements

• Fabricate complex surfaces and geometries
• Communicate high definition detail and surface finish

High Definition Color Presentation Models

• Combine models with other elements to achieve desired effect
• Produce multiples easily, quickly and inexpensively

3D printing is revolutionizing how many products are developed, helping companies save money, improve their products, and gain a competitive edge.
