Westwood On The Cutting Edge

 



Blueprints are used as models for contrustion for placement and configuration.  Although blueprints are great examples of plans for construction, they are 2D.  This is a disadvantage because other aspects of the building are hard to add on to the blueprint.  Blueprints have the right dimensions, but still do not provide a whole building effect.

 

By using new 3D printing technology, architects and engineers now have the ability to enhance the blueprint experience.  3D printers can be used to print a blue print in 3D, to scale.  This gives architects and engineers the advantage to modify designs on a real life scale.  It also gives a better representation of the overall look and layout of the building.  A 3D printed blueprint of a building can help designers to improve blueprints to make structures stronger.  The 3D printer can change the architecture and engineering aspects of building for the better.
