3D printing workshop · Toulouse

3D printed architectural models from your CAD files

Competition, final-year project and property development models, printed straight from your Revit, SketchUp, Rhino or ArchiCAD files. Made in Toulouse, with student rates.

Who we print architectural models for

Architecture practices

Competition and client presentation models: accurate massing, a clean white finish or colour.

Architecture students

Models for crits, juries and final-year projects at student rates, with advice on preparing your file included.

Property developers

Sales and launch models: the physical object that helps buyers picture the scheme.

Urban planning and local authorities

Site plans, neighbourhoods and topography for public consultations and planning studies.

From your CAD software to a physical model

From CAD to object, without rebuilding your project.

Your files, as they are

Export STL, OBJ, 3MF or STEP from Revit, SketchUp, Rhino, ArchiCAD or Blender. File checking and repair are included.

Every common scale

From 1:500 (site plan) to 1:50 (detail and section). We help you choose for the use: jury, competition or display window.

Large models in sections

Cut into plates and buildings that fit together: no size limit, easy to transport, with removable floors if you need them.

We also print topographic bases with contour lines, for sites where the terrain is part of the story.

Which scale for a 3D printed architectural model?

The scale depends on the size of the project and on what the model has to show.

ScaleTypical use
1:500Massing, urban planning and site plans
1:200Massing and urban planning
1:100A complete building
1:50Details and sections

Model finishes that win over a jury or a buyer

A classic white model for juries, colour schemes to tell existing buildings apart from the new project, or painted finishes for premium presentations.

The quote is free and sent within 24 hours. Students, mention your school to get the student rate.

Architectural model printing in Toulouse for practices and students

A 3D printed architectural model replaces dozens of hours spent cutting card and balsa with a model that matches your digital file. We print competition models, final-year project models and property development models directly from your Revit, SketchUp, Rhino, ArchiCAD or Blender files.

All the usual scales are possible: 1:500 and 1:200 for urban planning, 1:100 for a complete building, 1:50 for sections and details. Large models are split into sections that fit together, and we also print contoured topographic bases.

Architecture students: adapted prices and free advice on preparing your file. Collect your model from our Toulouse workshop or have it delivered anywhere in France by Mondial Relay or Colissimo; abroad on request through the contact form, where you can write in English. For prototypes and technical parts, see our 3D printing service.

Frequently asked questions

Which files should I send for a 3D printed architectural model?

Export your project as STL, OBJ, 3MF or STEP from Revit, SketchUp, Rhino, ArchiCAD or Blender. We check and repair the file free of charge before printing, and advise you on minimum wall thickness for the scale you choose.

Which scale should I choose for a 3D printed architectural model?

Common scales are 1:500 and 1:200 for massing and urban planning, 1:100 for a complete building and 1:50 for details and sections. We help you choose according to the size of the project and what the model is for: jury, competition or client presentation.

Do you offer a student rate for models?

Yes. We regularly work with architecture students on their crits and final-year projects, with prices suited to student budgets. Mention your school in your quote request.

Can you print a large model in several parts?

Yes. Models larger than the print volume are cleverly split into sections that fit together (separate buildings, terrain plates, removable floors), which also makes them easier to transport and present.

Can the model be in colour?

Yes. White suits juries, colour schemes separate existing buildings from the project, and painted finishes are available for premium presentations.

Can you deliver my model outside France?

Yes. In France we ship by Mondial Relay or Colissimo, or you collect it in Toulouse. For another country, contact us: we use Mondial Relay or the carrier of your choice and give you the shipping cost before you pay.
