Architectural Scale Model

Detailed 1:100 scale model of a residential building for a local Adelaide architecture firm.

Architectural Scale Model

The Brief

An Adelaide architecture firm needed a physical 1:100 scale model of a proposed residential development for a client presentation. They had the full 3D model in Revit but needed it translated into a printable format with the right level of detail.

What I Did

  • Converted the Revit export to a watertight mesh suitable for FDM printing
  • Split the model into printable sections with alignment pins
  • Printed the structure in white PLA at 0.12 mm layer height for fine detail
  • Assembled and lightly sanded for a clean presentation finish

The Result

The model was delivered within 48 hours and used in the client meeting the following day. The firm has since become a repeat customer for presentation models.
