Despite the fact that 3D printing can be called "emerging technology", it is already widely available tool for use in architecture. Thanks to the capabilities of modern 3D printers, architects can create models for experiments and presentations much faster than before.

And to see the three-dimensional model created in CAD is now possible not only on the computer. 3D printing allows designers to visualize their ideas even at the concept stage.

By allowing less material to be wasted compared to classic production methods (CNC machines), 3D-printed spatial and topographic models are an effective way to
study the urban environment .

parametric modeling and other algorithmic design methods.

At first glance, this may seem like indulgence to an audience obsessed with novelty, but such projects can and are much more functional than their traditional counterparts. In particular, 3D printing is one of the most important reasons for the emergence of biomimicry (design inspired by nature) in architecture. This trend has been developing very rapidly over the past decade. Designers can now imitate complex designs generated by nature and various forms. Recreating such forms in architecture has become faster and easier thanks to the advent of parametric design and 3D printing.

Using an algorithmic design method, architects and designers can create forms based on ergonomics and functionality that an object or building must combine in itself.
Prototypster offers high precision 3D printing on professional 3D printers. For printing architectural objects, our customers most often use
