“What is this? A school for ants?” In the 2000 movie, Derek Zoolander didn't quite understand the purpose of a model before the ground was broken for his new school. 3D printing architectural models allow you to visualize how a building or home will look before construction begins. It brings life to a sketch that a blueprint alone cannot.

Bring your designs to life

Most laypeople cannot read a blueprint in the same way an architect can, and this often makes it difficult for clients to visualize the design. Creating a model provides clients with a tangible representation to examine, ensuring everyone involved in the project is on the same page.

Easier than old scale models

Gone are the days of meticulously creating a scale model by hand. 3D printing is rapid by nature. Rendering the design as a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) file, the model is ready to be 3D printed. There are specific design rules to follow to ensure a faithful rendering and easy print. Creating a model will be cheaper and faster than ever before, enabling the delivery of a better product to clients.

Use lighter, more durable materials

Most architectural models are made out of nylon-based polyamides. These plastics are economical materials. They are notably lightweight, replacing the days of hefty, cumbersome models. Nylon 12 materials are tougher than most other materials. It is the same material we use for functional drone parts. So, the model can be transported easily without any worries.

Customize everything

Most models are printed in white or black. However, it is common to paint each model in post-production, which can highlight details, rooms, and features you want the client to notice.

Redesign with ease and pleasure

Making a new model after making changes with a client used to be an inconvenient and significant task. Because the design is a computer program CAD file, changes only need to be made to the file rather than creating a new sketch from scratch.

A note on the details

Architectural models can provide an excellent example of how the layout and structural style will appear in real life. However, fine details such as windowpanes and doorknobs are unlikely to be printed. These details do not hinder the model's function, but it is an important note to keep in mind.
