Why Architects Should Move from Sketch to 3D Prints and visuals in Minutes, Not Weeks

We design carefully considered eco homes and luxury holiday homes that perform well, age gracefully, and make long-term financial sense. RIBA Chartered Architects.

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.

From sketch to reality: an interior concept of the cabin, showing how light, space, and materiality can be explored early in the design process.
