FOC FOR 3May2010

Freedom Of Creation was approached by NEXT architects to create an exact replica of an existing roof structure for a scale model. NEXT Architects needed to include the existing building structure in their model. But how to create such a complex structure quickly and precisely?

3D printing was the answer, the parts were drawn by NEXT architects and produced in one of our Laser Sintering systems. Each of the beam sections is only 1mm in thickness. Combining the 3D printed parts with the traditional maquette built by Made by mistake, NEXT Architects created a fabulous model.

FOC FOR 30Sep2009

FOC Imagineering creates a unique scale model for Hootsmans architects. The assignment was to convert a chapel into a school building for the Communal Institution for Child Protection. The conversion comprised of twelve classrooms all of which are reversible and temporary.

The model was laser sintered in one go and mounted on a white base finished off with a clear display case, the scale for this model was 1:100.

‘It is wonderful having discovered the 3D printing process for the construction of our architectural models.  In the case of our design for chapel De Zande, with its fragmented interior, Laser sintering made a marvellous model.’ -Hootsmans Architects (more…)
