It's challenging to imagine what a building under construction will look like or what furniture you might choose, since people can't see the full-scale version of something that hasn’t been completed. All they can do is wait for the keys and hope the final result matches their expectations. I had to wait for the decorator to hand me the keys after packing up the tools.
However, this challenge may soon be a thing of the past. Nat Ellis, head of 3D visualization at JB Architecture, has introduced 3D printing models to bring more realism to the company’s 2D blueprints.
Based in Chichester, West Sussex, JB Architecture (jbA) was founded in 1999 by John Brown and has gained international recognition for delivering top-quality design, structural engineering, and planning services.
Ellis leads a team focused on enhancing 3D visualization to provide customers with detailed simulation images and animations. Later, he added 3D printing technology to the firm’s toolkit, aiming to improve communication between architects and clients.
With 3D printed models, customers can now visualize how spaces will look before construction begins. This helps eliminate confusion and misinterpretations that often come with 2D drawings.
Contractors and builders also benefit from seeing scaled 3D models of furniture and structures, which makes it easier to understand the layout and design intent.
JB Architecture collaborates with renowned designers like Neptune Kitchens to create realistic furniture designs that are then integrated into the architectural models. This gives customers a clear idea of how everything will fit together in the final space.
Thanks to 3D printing, clients can now experiment with different furniture arrangements and see the results in real-time — something that wasn’t possible before this technology was introduced.
The company uses an AW3D HDx 3D printer to produce highly detailed models of buildings, floors, and furniture. With a forming size of up to 1150 cm³ and a layer height of 0.6 microns, the models are incredibly precise.
The HDx model features Airwolf’s JRx hot end, capable of reaching temperatures over 315°C, and is compatible with materials like bridge nylon, nylon 645, and polycarbonate. Priced at $3,495, it offers professional-grade performance at an affordable cost.
