Despite 3D structure images made by digital tools, architectural firms still also require physical models as they are a form of three-dimensional sketching to help them visualize the structure, witness how light will enter and contemplate the spatial and material relationships. This hands-on rendering has proved to be more creative and insightful part to the designing of the building.
Gazelle 3D Tech Solutions partners with major architecture firms to create tangible scale models, with complement computer simulations and virtual 3D models. This is achieved using stereolithography apparatus, photo-solidification or resin printing which is a form of 3D printing technology.
This incorporates a photochemical process in which light causes chemical monomers and oligomers to cross link to form polymers. Those polymers then make up the body of a three-dimensional solid. With the help of computer aided manufacturing or CAM/CAD software, the UV laser is used to draw a programmed design or shape on to the surface of the photopolymer vat.
These 3D printed models are preferred for four main reasons:
- Cost-effective: 3D printing is an economical way for architects and designers to create 3D architectural models with great detail. This cost effectiveness allows one to print several models with variations to present to clients or even visually represent the building at different stages of construction.
- Accurate: Details of the building manifests itself with vivid detail with a 3D print of the architectural models. One can opt for material on which the print is to be rendered and give it a realistic finish as well./li>
- Time Saving: The beauty of the 3D printer is that it does all the work and at a great pace so you save precious time and man power while the printer prints away. Impala 3D has the capacity to print throughout days continuing to give life to models which will transform architects’ ideas to reality!
- Updateable: One popular benefit of 3D printed architectural models as compared to physically made cardboard models is that in case inspiration strikes or the client requests for a change you can modify your design and reprint it with ease.
