3d Printing

3D printing allows architects to quickly test design concepts and identify potential issues by creating 3D models layer by layer directly from digital files. This reduces the time spent on early design phases compared to traditional modeling. It can also lower production costs, with one manufacturer claiming modeling costs were reduced by up to 75% using 3D printing. Examples are given of architectural models that formerly took two months to build by hand now being completed in hours using 3D printing.

3D printing or additive manufacturing is a process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file. In an additive process an object is created by laying down successive layers of material until the entire object is created. 3
Each of these layers can be seen as a thinly sliced horizontal cross-section of the eventual object. 3D printing allows to easily test many concepts and quickly identify potential structure issues, which would be harder to spot on computer simulations. 4
Benefits 3D printing saves time in the early design and creation phases by reducing the lead-time for model production and allowing quick tests of concepts and iterations. 5 1. Higher productivity Take several days Deliver results in hours Theres productivity gain.
2. Lower Production Costs To assess volumes and general structure of the building, they need to be 3D printed using a single plastic material and a small number of colours, thus keeping the production costs to a minimum. The 3D printer manufacturer Stratasys claims that modeling costs can be reduced up to 75% by using 3D printing. 6 Benefits

It is possible to create architectural models of complex structures. MX3D recently work to 3D print an actual metal bridge in Amsterdam. They have used an innovative 3D printing system, which extrudes melted metal, which are almost impossible to produce by hand. 8 Benefits
