3D Printing Architectural Models: A Guide to Modeling Strategy and Software Workflow

Categories
3D Printing

3D printing presents tremendous benefits over the conventional architectural workflow. Architects and designers can print complex designs with less materials and labor, and rapidly iterate with ease.

A successful transition from CAD model to printable file relies on a baseline understanding of design for 3D printing. This white paper covers how to make smart modeling decisions, from choosing scale to designing for assembly to post-processing, and how to use these strategies in common software ecosystems.

What you will learn:

  • Strategies for designing 3D printed architectural models
  • Best practices from architecture firms successfully using the Form 2 to produce models
  • How to integrate modeling strategies into the pre-print software workflow, including instructions for: BIM (Revit, ArchiCAD) and surface modeling (Rhino, SketchUp)
  • Effective post-processing techniques

Multi-Material 3D Printing with High-Performance Polymers

Beyond Single-Material Constraints: The Case for Embedded Reinforcement in Additive Manufacturing Multi-material 3D printing gives engineers something single-extruder systems never could: the ability to place the right material in exactly the right location, driven by load paths rather than printer limitations. Most structural failures in printed parts occur where designers needed localized strength but were […]
