Remember the replicator on “Star Trek”? Well the technology hasn’t come quite that far yet but model making is being revolutionized by 3D printers and rapid prototyping. Shapes that used to take many hours of hands-on work to create is now done much more quickly using virtual solid modeling on the computer to create physical models that “materialize” on these machines.

We have the capability to “grow” your model from 3D Cad files. Our 3D printer cures layer after layer of ABS plastic until your design is fully formed. Your prototype can even have working internal parts when we build them into the computer file.

For architecture, this technology provides tremendous detail, and speeds up the process of building your model. Our 3D printer creates otherwise challenging architectural shapes from durable material. Smaller models of buildings can be fully created with unprecedented detail. This technology lowers the cost of repeated parts enabling us to forgo the molding and casting processes in many instances. It also eases the creation of organic shapes such as cupolas and wrought iron.

Once your parts are formed, our professional hands-on model makers start assembling and finishing your display. Using painting, detailing and presentation techniques, we will turn our 3d files into a marketing piece that sells your ideas to your audience.
