PrintAWorld produces physical architectural models for architecture and design firms using 3D printing, model preparation, sectioning, assembly, sanding, painting, and other finishing when included in the project scope. Models may support design studies, client presentations, trade shows, or display. Send an STL or OBJ file, target scale or finished dimensions, detail priorities, quantity, finish, delivery ZIP code, and deadline; pricing and timing are confirmed after review.
What should you send for an architectural-model quote?
Send the available STL or OBJ files, target scale or finished dimensions, quantity, intended use, detail priorities, fragile or unsupported features, preferred color and finish, delivery ZIP code, and deadline. PrintAWorld reviews wall thickness, geometry, printability, and handling needs. The written quote confirms file preparation, production method, sectioning, assembly, finish, packing, and schedule.
Why use PrintAWorld for an architectural model?
Get expert help
We've worked with different architectural firms and we know how to product the best quality architectural 3D prints. Our experts can figure out if your 3D architectural models has any issues early on and advice you on how to fix it.
Fast turnaround
Model making is time consuming and we understand tight deadlines and extremely rushed projects. Architectural-model timing depends on file preparation, scale, detail, sectioning, assembly, finishing, and delivery. The written quote confirms the production schedule.
Smooth surface finish
We operate an industrial 3D printer that can produce smooth surface finish.
Cost effective
Building an in-house 3D printing team is not easy. You need to hire expert technicians with a proficiency in 3D printing large scale models. On top of that, you need to invest thousands of dollars on industrial 3D printers. There's also a lot of labor involved such as post-processing, cleaning up the support materials and even polishing the 3D prints.
At PrintAWorld, we'll take all that risk so you can focus on creating top notch models for your clients.
How are large architectural models handled?
Large architectural models may be divided into printable sections and assembled when the design and project scope allow. Final size depends on scale, geometry, material, access, handling, finishing, packing, and delivery requirements.

F.A.Q
How much do 3d printed models cost?
The cost of 3D printed models vary from a couple of hundred dollars to thousands of dollars depending on the size and the complexity of your design.
What are the benefits of 3D printing your scale model?
3D printing can produce detailed architectural models and complex geometry when the source file, scale, wall thickness, material, and finishing plan are suitable. Feasibility and timing require project review.
What 3D printing technology do you use?
Industrial SLA printing is one option for architectural models that need fine detail and a smooth surface. The approved quote confirms the printing method, resolution, material, and finishing plan for the project.
What 3D printing material do you use?
Industrial SLA resin can produce detailed models with a smooth surface that can be painted or metal plated when suitable. The approved quote confirms the material and finishing plan.
Do you offer delivery?
Yes, we can ship your architectural models nationwide.
