Yes — we print models for architecture firms regularly
We produce scale models for architecture, from quick massing studies to detailed presentation pieces. SLA resin captures facade detail, FDM is cost-effective for large mockups, and Industrial SLA and FGF handle oversized models in fewer pieces.
Types we print
Massing models — Block forms showing volume and context
Presentation models — Detailed with fenestration, texture, landscaping
Section models — Cut-away interior views
Site models — Terrain and surrounding buildings
Detail models — Facade systems, structural connections
Best technologies
Massing: FDM (white PLA) — fast, affordable
Presentation models: SLA or Industrial SLA — smooth, detailed
Large presentation pieces: Industrial SLA — single pieces up to 1700 × 800 × 600 mm
Large site models: FDM (sectioned) — cost-effective
Oversized architectural elements: FGF — up to 2400 × 2400 × 1000 mm
Color: available via custom painting
