About Project

Printing such a large architecture model with FDM 3D printing technology is a cost-effective plan. It's quite a challenge for FDM 3D printers but our industrial printers are quite qualified for it. However, there are still some inevitable flaws. Luckily, our client has no request about the inner parts.

Solution

  • Step 1: Split the 3D model according to the color scheme and structure. Examine the model to ensure all the parts can be printed successfully.
  • Step 2: Arrange the placement of all the split parts in the slicer software and add supports. And we also add a raft so the parts can be take off from the platform easier.
  • Step 3: 3D print all the parts with FDM PLA. Watch from the monitor to ensure the printing process works smoothly.
  • Step 4: When printing is finished, cut off the supports, put the green parts into a glass container that has enough acetone. Close the container lid for 10-20 minutes so that the vapor can melt the outer layer of the parts. Then wash them and let them dry.
  • Step 5: Try to assemble all the parts together, then package them with wooden boxes.
