3d Print (Rapid Prototyping)

3d Print
● This is an actual tangible 3d model that is real life and can be held, not just looked at on a screen.

The process is advanced and rather difficult to explain, but will result in essentially a miniature (toy? clay? object? … ..) you can actually hold and rotate and put on your shelf. Potential clientele will be shown this option in person at initial meeting, as the visual experience is far more informative than trying to explain using words. See Example (section #)-05 below this table

● Very impactful as an aide to add the whole presentation package, along with copies of the 3d illustration drawings, roughs of the 3d model, and the plans. Makes it very easy for people to visualize the project from start to finish before ground is broken. Just another step beyond the actual computer screen/ flat print option for visualizing plans. This is a great option for industrial design type projects, but can be very useful for architectural projects as well.

● There are different types of 3d print options, and all vary in price and of course in the size of print made. Options for medium are starchy material (cheapest and most delicate) plastic resins (more expensive but more durable), and even solid metal (different types of metal will further change price). The latter option is the most expensive, but by far the most durable and is even suitable for casting future mold of project.
