3D printing for architecture

A new revolution in this industry

3D printing becomes more and more a validation and persuasive tool in the architecture sector. Financially it brings several advantages: 

1. The desktop 3D printers are affordable
2. When invoicing your 3D prints to your customers, you redeem the purchase of your 3D printer in several projects.
3. You avoid the costs of the maquette makers.
4. The costs of the consumables are affordable: one spool of 750g filament cost €23,1 vat exc. and you can print at least 5 maquettes like the one in the pictures above.

The timing aspect is also important. You can print a project in several hours instead of weeks when creating a maquette the traditional way.

Furthermore, every 3D printed creation can be post-processed: painted, sanded, polished, assembled with other material or other manufacturing technique (laser cuter, cnc machine, woodworking)... You have limitless possibilities thanks to 3D printing. 

The only one is your imagination.

For who?

Architects, designers, creators... knowing how to use a 3D modeling software (Sketchup, Revit, Archicad, Autocad...)
