What is 3D Printing
3D printing for architectural model making can show the architect’s design concept before it is built.
It presents better understanding and clarity for architects and developers. And can discover the potential of certain issues that may occur in the project well in advance.
Complex and intricate architectural model making components, such as façade with multiple curvatures, folds, perforations, or structure with twisted and weaving elements, can now be produced easily and efficiently with 3D printing.

This allows geometries created by designers can be realized in a physical model to be presented to their client.
We see an increase in 3D printing model, especially with the new generation designers who have quickly embraced this technology. That’s because its lower cost, faster turnaround time and quality assurance.
3D printing in some cases can reduce the cost of production as a result of shorter production time.
Traditionally, architectural model makers create components from material(s) to realize designers’ intent.
However, 3D printing can complete this task from the digital file to the finished object, eliminating material wastage and saving manpower cost.

Labor cost in the architectural model making industry is consistently increasing.
3D printing can free up manpower and greatly reduce production costs.
3D printing technology can improve productivity.
Shorter architectural model making time allows designers more time to fine-tune their designs.
In comparison to the traditional model making way, approximately 30% to 70% of time and cost savings can be achieved.

The Price range of RJ Models 3D architectural models.
When 3D printing was first introduced, its cost was higher than the traditional manufacturing process.
As the technology is now very mature, components such as titanium can now be produced with minimal error. And the end product is much more durable, and finishing is much desirable.
This, as a result, offers very good value for money.
RJ Models charges approximately USD500 for a 3D printed model that measures 200mm x 100mm x 100mm.
