3D Printing of Architectural Models

What does 3D printing of architectural models include?

3D printing allows an architectural project to be presented as a physical model that shows the volume, scale, spatial relationships and key details of the building. An architectural model helps investors, designers, partners and clients understand the project more clearly beyond drawings, visualizations and digital models.

IPA - Architecture and more creates 3D printed architectural models of buildings, individual volumes, facade solutions, interior elements, urban fragments and architectural details. The physical model is especially useful for presenting complex spatial solutions, competition entries, investment projects, public discussions and presentations to clients or partners.

The process includes preparation of a 3D model for printing, selection of scale, optimization of details, separation of elements when needed, 3D printing and final finishing. This turns digital project information into a real object that can be reviewed, compared and used as a communication tool.

The 3D printers used by IPA - Architecture and more work with synthetic resins that polymerize under UV light. The technology allows high precision, clean details and a durable result suitable for architectural models, presentation models and detailed design studies.

The service is directly connected with 3D visualizations, 3D animations, BIM modeling, architectural design, architectural concept design and marketing materials. When the 3D printed model is developed in sync with the design process, it supports a clearer presentation of the idea, form, scale and value of the project.
