Architecture and Scale Models
In architecture, 3D printing is used for scale models, facade fragments, site and interior models. SLA for fine details, FDM or MJF for larger models, CB PA12 for color.
Challenges
What we solve
Fine details
Scale models have many thin elements – railings, window frames.
Size
Large models have to be split into sections and joined.

Building models
Scaled-down models.
Detail fragments
Facade and junction samples.
Scale model production
Upload your model (STL, OBJ or STEP) and set the scale in the configurator – you will see whether thin areas meet the minimum wall thickness (“Thickness” mode).
Design tips
Before you upload
- At 1:100 scale and smaller, thicken thin elements to ≥0.8 mm.
- Split large models into sections according to the build volume.
