3D Printing Workshop for Architects File Preparation Process

Learn what 3D printing can do for you in the 3D Printing Workshop for Architects

Learn how to apply Final Touch Ups of your 3d Printed Scale Models

Develop and test in the comfort of your own studio.

The common misconception is that 3D printing is used only for prototyping, by professionals and is expensive. If compared to the conventional ways of model making, you cannot be further from the truth!
3D printers are widely accessible all around the world, and you only need some additional knowledge and skills to start taking advantage of this fantastic opportunity today.
Reduce design time, save on developing cost, deliver superior results and bring more value to the table. The technology combines the precision of computer simulation and the tangibility of a scale model.
Computer drawing evolved from hand drawing to photorealistic renderings. Similarly, a point in time where clients will no longer accept models that do not match the detail and visualization qualities that 3D printing offers, is rapidly approaching.

We know you’ll find this to be one of the most comprehensive 3D printing resources available on the topic, and that no matter what your skill level is, there will be plenty in here to meet your needs.

Why should you take this training ?

STREMLINE THE DESING PROCESS

Start with the files you have. Since you already design in software 3D environment, there are only a few additional steps to obtain a 3D printed copy of your architectural design. Update your models in short notice and at no great cost, make changes and corrections on the fly based on the previous design. Now you can test multiple design concepts at every stage of the design process quickly and efficiently. Enable your team to do more and let the machines do the rest. Making scale models has never been that easy.

REDUCE TIME AND COST – INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY

3D Printing technology delivers the most direct way form digital on-screen visualization to physical touch and feels representation. By decreasing maquette costs up to 75% and turnaround time to hours or days after the files are ready, this is becoming the new medium to present a project to your team and your clients in an interactive and engaging way. Whether you decide to do it in-house or outsource 90% of users consider 3D Printing as a competitive advantage in their business strategy.

ATTRACT MORE BUYERS WITH CONFIDENCE

Bring more value to your business and your clients. Establish your practice as high-tech and gain instant recognition. 3D printed scale models and floor plans are the most professional way an architect or a builder can present their work today. With accuracy up to 0.02 mm, a project can be seen as never before. Clients get thrilled when presented with a scale model. Make them feel involved every step of the way by maintaining clear communication and providing immediate understanding, even to the non-technical personas.
