In the summer of 2017 we were approached by Adam Nathaniel Furman to produce a full colour 3D printed model for the New Typologies Exhibition at the Architecture Fringe. We captured the making of the model on film to illustrate some of the manual work associated with colour 3D printing.
Designed in Rhino Serengeti (v6 WIP) Prepared for printing in Materialise Magics Printed on 3D Systems Project 660

It re-groups various civic functions into one visually symbolic composition of architectural forms that reconfigure and express varying references, ornament and allusions, depending on the metropolitan area it is situated in and embodies. It is an expression of urban pride, chromatic joy, and architectural complexity." - Adam Nathaniel Furman To find out more about colour 3D printing please visit www.lee3d.co.uk
Totnes architects, Harrison Sutton Partnership commissioned a 3D printed model for the Vinery project in Devon. The two buildings that nestle in the steeply sloping site were to be removable.
Re-using their design development SketchUp model, Lee 3D prepared and optimised the file for 3D printing using Magics RP. A scale of 1:200 was chosen balancing cost with clarity of features. Consideration was given to ensuring the removable buildings were a good fit with the site model. The model was 3D printed on the ZPrinter 650 as a monochrome model.
The model is shown below in various states showing the buildings and base part.
