Case Study: Elkus Manfredi Architects achieves faster, more flexible architectural model making with Stratasys 3D printing

Elkus Manfredi Architects accelerates design approvals with Stratasys 3D printing

Elkus Manfredi Architects, a top architectural firm in Boston, faced challenges with its traditional process of outsourcing architectural models. This method involved extensive back-and-forth communication with model makers, was time-consuming, and limited the team's ability to explore multiple design iterations without impacting project timelines and quality. To overcome this, the firm turned to Stratasys and its 3D printing technology.

By implementing Stratasys 3D printers, Elkus Manfredi gained the ability to produce high-quality models in-house. This solution unlocked design freedom, allowing them to quickly test complex geometries and convey design intent more effectively to clients. The results included a significant increase in high-quality output, enriched client collaboration, and the ability to secure project approvals more efficiently, such as getting a master plan approved in a single community session.
