• 3D Printing Services - "Printer-Ready" Preparation of Architectural 3D CAD Files*

In the world of Architectural 3D printing, it is common to expect that an architectural drawing designed in 3D CAD will NOT automatically print correctly without first making minor modifications to the 3D CAD file. When scaling a building down to the size of a model of about 6" to 8" tall, real world designs available in 3D CAD software packages will not sustain themselves during printing, as a result of being reduced. Therefore it is necessary to make modifications to the files to ensure that they print correctly. Such modifications will be to items such as windows, railings, staircases and balconies. Consideration also needs to be given to buildings that are designed with basements and foundations.

• 2D to 3D CAD Conversions - Conversion of 2D CAD Files or Paper Files to "Printer-Ready" 3D CAD Files

While each year more and more design firms are beginning to design in 3D CAD, it is still common to have architectural designs available only in 2D CAD or as a paper drawing. Some customers may have a building project that is still in a sketch or conceptual form. This should not deter you from offering a 3D model to your customer.

IDEAL CAD Services provide 2D to 3D conversions or conversions from paper drawings as well as from conceptual sketches.
