Architecture Industry

Additive manufacturing technologies are also being increasingly used to create architectural models and construction projects.

In the architecture field, additive manufacturing systems that print in color, such as binder jetting, is extremely helpful in the production of architectural models.

For example, Stratasys’ PolyJet 3D printing can produce highly detailed models in an array of materials, including rigid photopolymers ready for painting. Additionally, as FDM 3D printing continues to advance, multi-color and multi-material capabilities are enticing to architectural firms looking to create models quickly and at a low price.

Additive manufacturing technologies have also become a major influencer in the construction sector. From the Russian company Apis Cor to the prestigious university MIT, there is a wide range of large-scale 3D printers that are capable of printing gigantic structures from materials like concrete. Although the technology is still very new to the construction sector, additive manufacturing has the potential to build houses that are more affordable and can be produced faster.
