Application of 3D Printing in Architectural
Architectural 3D printing is the best bridge between architectural designers and project implementation managers
There are many different types of architectural models in the design and production of architectural sand table models. Different architectural models have different characteristics and the materials used are also different. The occasions for which different architectural models are applicable are also different.
The shortage of traditional sand table: Take the construction industry, the traditional sand table production needs to make a plan design sketch first, and the production company’s design the structure of the building according to the scale of the sketch, then decompose it into different plates, add architectural details according to the design requirements, then send it to the carving machine to carve out all the plates on the PVC board, and then assemble and glue it together. The whole production cycle is usually in 1.5-3 months.
The Advantage of 3D Printed Architectural
the whole sand table (from design to printing) is produced in 6 days, which is only 1/5 of the time required by the traditional production method (1 month), and the production cost is only about half of the traditional production method. The sand table made by 3D printing technology has short cycle time, low cost and high precision.
Intuitive Architectural Model Display
Sand table model has the characteristics of strong three-dimensional sense, intuitive image, easy production, economic and practical. Sand table models are also commonly used to make models for economic development planning and large-scale engineering construction, which are intuitive and favored by planning decision makers and engineering technicians.
3D Printing Sand Table Production Method
Compared with traditional sandbox manufacturing, 3D printing sandbox not only simplifies the sandbox production process and shortens the production cycle, but also significantly reduces the production cost. Now 3D printing is based on digital manufacturing process, combining accurate virtual 3D models and real physical objects, sandbox production only requires 2 steps: 3D digital model design and 3D printer to print the finished product, raw materials mostly use nylon plastic and photosensitive resin, cheap. The advantages are more significant in the production of complex or shaped sandboxes.
Advantages of using SLA light-curing 3D printer
I. Time aspect
SLA light-curing 3D printing technology enhances work efficiency, SLA light-curing 3D printer integrated molding, reducing many extra steps, SLA light-curing 3D printing allows designers to quickly produce prototypes of items conceived in their minds, ultimately saving time in the design process. This allows new or improved products to reach the market faster than traditional methods.
II. Space
An industrial-grade 3D printer does not take up much space at all, and a small factory can house dozens of 3D printing machines, saving a lot of space
III. environmental aspects
The traditional process of making large sculpture crafts, generally using plaster, fiberglass to turn the mold, during which will produce a lot of dust pollution and waste materials. The use of SLA light-curing 3D printer to make products, no dust, no waste, no pollution, no fear of environmental risks.
