Architecture

The use of 3D computer aided design and rapid prototype models is increasingly becoming the norm in architecture. The white nylon material produced by our SLS machines is ideal for constructing architectural models; it is strong, lightweight and can accommodate intricate forms. For less delicate but more cost-effective models, we recommend full colour plaster. It is also possible to use a combination of different materials when building sections of a larger model.

Client Presentation Tool

When you are striving to communicate the essence of your ideas to your client, illustrate your proposals quickly and clearly with a 3d printed model.

Design Development

At large or small scale, whether investigating difficult junctions, complex geometries or just not quite certain how something will ultimately look or feel, a rapid prototype model will allow you to quickly evaluate and refine your design.

Practice Marketing Tool

Within your existing CAD data, you already have the information required to produce compelling 3 dimensional models of your work.  Use this infromation to create models to either showcase in your office or to take to new client meetings.

Planning Applications and Appeals

When you need to demonstrate how beautiful, sensitive and sympathetic your proposal is, the best tool to demonstrate these aspects of your design is via a 3D model.  We can model the existing surroundings, as well as the building in question, in order to demonstrate the true impact of your scheme to best effect.

Bespoke Ironmongery / Furniture

If you are developing your own bespoke designs, then let us help you rapidly test, develop and produce these in 3 dimensions.  If your client would like to personalise any elements within the project, then we can similarly assist.

Historic Element Reproduction

If you need to reproduce architectural or ironmongery elements that are no longer in production, we can scan the original item and print it in a number of different materials depending upon the application and finish required.

If you only have the original blueprints, we can replicate these in CAD and then print them 3 dimensionally for whatever end use you require.

Either the digital scans or CAD replications can then also be applied to other modern fabrication methods such as CNC milling. 

It is important that 3D design files are "clean" to achieve the best result, please see our export guide for advice on creating suitable CAD files. If you have difficulty, our team will work with you to help you "fix" defective CAD models.
