Case Study: Modelmaker.com achieves 50% reduction in model development time with 3D Systems

Model Making Process Reduced by Incorporating Rapid Prototyping

Modelmaker.com, founded by Phil Whitelaw, creates scaled architectural models to help developers visualize projects. Faced with conventional hand-built models that took a minimum of six months to complete, Phil sought a faster, more efficient way to produce detailed scale models for commercial and residential clients.

Partnering with Concepta Design (Brian McLaughlin) to convert AutoCAD drawings into 3D CAD and using 3D Systems’ QuickQuote/On Demand Manufacturing and high-resolution stereolithography, Modelmaker.com produced precise, customizable components far faster. The new process cut development time by 50% with only a marginal increase in costs, enabling quicker delivery of high-quality scaled models to clients.
