3D printing for architects

From scale models to façade studies: 3D printing turns your design into something you can hold, test and present — accurate, detailed and quick to revise.

For architects and design offices, 3D printing is a fast way to make a design tangible. Where a hand-built model takes days, you print it straight from your 3D model — dimensionally accurate, detailed, and as often as you want to iterate.

Typical applications

Typical applications

01

Scale models

Entire buildings or districts to scale, straight from your CAD or SketchUp model.

02

Façade & detail studies

Show materials, rhythm and volume in real life, not just on screen.

03

Presentation models

A crisply finished model for a client, jury or competition.

04

Terrain models

Relief and topography printed from elevation data.

Good to know

Material & approach

For models PLA is usually enough (sharp detail, cost-effective); for stronger or transparent parts we look at PETG or other materials. Send your 3D file (STL, STEP, 3MF or a SketchUp export) and we make it print-ready and print it at the scale you need.
