Architectural model
Modelmaking made easy and affordable.
Whether you are an architect, someone who wants to visualize their (future) house or interior, or you just want to have fun with 3D modeling; 3D printing from SketchUp just got a little easier. Normally, printing SketchUp models involves file conversion, scale conversion and quite a bit of checking for mysterious things like "watertightness"...but that is now a thing of the past.
We've created a plugin to make the SketchUp-to-object printing process easier than ever. Our plugin (wizard) lives right in SketchUp and helps you create a scale model of your design and prepare it for 3D printing. Choose between 3 different sizes and decide whether you want a monochrome or a full color scale model, all of them at a fixed price.
Prices and sizes
| 9.06 x 5.91 x 5.91 inch | monochrome $ 349 | full color $ 399 |
| 12.60 x 9.06 x 3.35 inch | monochrome $ 599 | full color $ 659 |
| 12.60 x 9.06 x 5.91 inch | monochrome $ 659 | full color $ 795 |
