Architectural models on the go!

3D printed models used to be expensive and technically challenging to prepare, but not anymore! With better methods incorporating traditional model making and more know-how around digital file prep, 3D printing for architects is now much more accessible, affordable, and of a better quality

Early design models are now becoming a trend! These models are usually no bigger than A3 size, so they're easy to carry around – you can even take them as hand luggage! 

This means it's super easy to show off your designs to clients and collaborators wherever you are. This whole speedy process has totally changed the design industry, making it faster to try out new ideas, communicate better, and get designs approved quicker.

Over 70% of architects are already using BIM technology, which allows for seamless integration with 3D printing.  Specialists can prepare your STL or FBX files for printing by thickening elements and closing open spaces, all while maintaining accuracy.

Utilise a high-resolution 3D printer (such as a stereolithography printer) to fabricate the resin model. This will ensure a smooth and detailed appearance. Subsequently, apply spray paint and additional details to enhance its realism.

Project by Mossessian Architecture / 3D printed Fixie

Mossossian Architecture was tasked with creating a small-scale model for an international competition under a tight deadline. The model needed to be compact enough to fit in a carry-on bag for air travel, making 3D printing the ideal solution for this project with its beautifully designed curves. Our team of model makers added finishing touches, such as vegetation and perspex for the pools.
