A combination of extensive research, years of experience, and close communication with the client produces such quality on which we pride ourselves. With each project, there are important things to consider before we get started. Want a sneak peek into our design and development process? Read below to see the initial phases of creating a custom architectural model.
Step 1: Identify what type of model are we creating for you The team works with you to bring your vision to life, but first must know what that vision is. The most important first-step of architectural model making is deciding what type of building our client needs and discussing every specification and aspect of the design. Architectural models are imperative to envisioning the end-product. Whether you are designing a residential complex or a towering skyscraper, has the experience, skill, and technology to create a completely custom scale model. The benefits of creating a custom scale model are innumerable — by taking your design and transforming it into a tangible, 3D model, we can help you take your project from an idea to a reality.
Step 2: Determine what equipment we will need Next, we must consider how best to create your architectural model. The building approach we take varies on the project: some clients need a completely custom design while other rely on our rapid prototyping services for fast and affordable concept development and testing. Some even combine the two processes and utilize rapid prototyping as a precursor to a custom architectural model! Whatever your needs may be, our state-of-the-art laser cutting tools, 3D printing solutions, and CAD programs ensure precise production for every project. Once the concept and design is finalized, the all-important details are incorporate. On to the next step!
Step 3: Identify what materials and finishing techniques we will use After the initial design specifications are settled, the real magic happens! The materials we use really bring your vision to life. We want to model reality down to the smallest detail: wood finishes, paint colors, foliage and landscaping are all key components in creating the highest quality architectural scale model. We can also incorporate lighting and furnishings if necessary. Of course, the materials used vary on a project-to-project basis, but we can accommodate most any request. LM3 brings years of experience to the world of architectural model making. After a clear strategy is developed, our team gets to work on your custom scale model. Our clients are involved in every step of the process, and we can’t wait to work with you. Contact us today for Architectural Model making
