Make Architects: Transforming the model shop with 3D printing

Make is a different kind of architecture practice. The employee-owned firm aims to "design the best buildings, places, and spaces in the world". Make's Ultimaker 3D printers help them achieve this, creating a democratic design process and enabling the model-making team to print thousands of models each year - from project concepts to huge context models.

« About 3D printing »
3D printing is often called additive manufacturing as well. It’s a rapid prototyping technology which uses plastic filaments that are extruded under high temperatures. Layer by layer it 3D prints the physical object. Professionals and makers all around the world use Ultimaker 3D printers for rapid prototyping, engineering, product design, 3D printed art, jewelry, and in fashion, medicine and education. With several aftermarket or 3D printed add-ons you can even turn an Ultimaker into a food 3D printer.

These printers seem to be some of the highest quality that i have seen. It is a very impressive design, very clean and streamlined. I am an architecture student and I have a 3d printer now but it a cheap one. I am hoping to upgrade to an ultimaker 3+ or 5 in the next year. Make Architects, you put out some very high quality models with a lot of detail on some. Great job.

[@michellemillana1359]

Bambu or Neptune is way better, Ultimaker is too expensive.

[@nodashipl]

very neat, hopefully ill get my hands on this machine some day soon

[@meu3dcom720]

those printers aligned behind the printed city is beautiful, kinda feel clean, organized, metodic.

[@danielstech1028]

Did they buy an ultimaker printer just because it's white?

[@jacktoddy9783]

Sorry I felt the whole video was presented as being exclusive - not where I see Architecture going at all. I will buy a Creality Ender 3 Pro 3D printer as it makes excellent architectural models or parts. It also cost a fraction of the price of the Ulitmaker - as good as it is. I need something basic and functional.

[@strangeequark]

I have an Ender 3 pro, I got it for uni models and it's fine for me, but a practice has a bigger budget so they can afford to get better ones and with its enclosure they can use more types of filaments so it's less limiting. Practices want to display the best models they can for clients

[@clemsmith2253]

2:42 looks like the model in the back got a little messy lol

[@MaddConnekRecordz]

man I wish I could afford it. they are nice. I always wanted to make models of the cities ive lived in mainly the old neighborhoods. Imagine showing your kids where you grew up in 3d. small movie production stuff, limitless

[@ralph3539]

We have these at school they look so cool

[@ModelSkyscrapers]

wow that's so cool and fun!

[@harinathkudkyal]

How much cost of this machine...

[@MaddConnekRecordz]

1 to 6k

[@lorenzo_renga]

Wow i really need 4000 euro printer to print cubes, i cant make this with 200 euro printer

[@coreysmith8057]

I'm perfect with using this tonight

[@davidhernandez9985]

How can fuse both architecture& engineering into actual buildings, bridges, & roads.

[@hiramogonor3893]

Where can i purchase this?

[@Colez1]

how do you print ceilings with this?
