Using Renderings with 3D Printing

The images that artists are coming up with for architectural visualizations are jaw-dropping these days. A blend of tools such as 3d Studio Max, Photoshop, and Google Earth leads to some impressive results. If it’s a true artist with some serious skills you can’t even tell if it’s an actual photograph. These 3d renderings can really help sell an idea and elicit an emotional reaction to what can be achieved for a development. Almost every real estate developer these days is familiar with renderings and using them to accompany blueprints for presentations before design review boards or with fellow investors.

But what if you want a 3d architecture model to accompany it?

The hard work is already done right…you have the design laid out. I mean, it’s drawn in 3D dimensions with all the topography, streets, signs, building materials, lighting. So, you know there has to be a way to export all that hard work and get it to a format that a 3D printer can read.

You can almost taste it…AND do it! Yep. 2 for 1 with 3d work is now a reality. Render that idea or proposal up, work out the kinks, and then present to your audience with a final rendering AND a 3d architecture model.
