Generally in life—whether it’s working out in the gym or designing buildings—compressing the time between process and output yields a more meaningful result (3 sets in 15 minutes at the gym vs 3 sets spread over an hour)

Moving quickly from a sketch to a 3D print or a visual is critical for the rapid prototyping of design ideas, and subsequently, a more enriched design.

And let's face it, clients love to see and hold a physical model, to get a sense of their project early in the design process as a part of the design process.
