3D printing has revolutionized the construction industry in recent years. The 3D-printed building, which is the construction system of the future, brings many advantages. It offers more flexible design alternatives in interior solutions, and faster results can be obtained in the interior design of buildings built with it. This week, we have listed the advantages of 3D printing technology.

3D printing technology, which has just started to be used in the construction industry, is an innovative system that offers production through three-dimensional printers and computer-aided design (CAD). With 3D technology, civil engineers, architects, and interior designers have produced many three-dimensional models in recent years. The results are more realistic because computer-aided design gives detailed results. Therefore, it is predictable that we will see 3D-printed structures more often in the future.

More Detailed And Realistic Structures Emerge

3D printing technology offers designers the ability to create more detailed and realistic product opportunities. 3D technology is a system that eliminates the human error rate in manual production. 3D printers provide designers with a wider imagination in interior design, allowing them to meet the expectations of their customers. One of the best examples of this is the world's first 3D-printed studio, which was recently produced. The integration of LED systems into this project has made it an interesting and appealing interior design.

Saves Time

Interior designers have the opportunity to work more flexibly with the help of 3D printing technology. For instance, when a designer wants to change their design, they can edit the 3D model they created and make quick modifications on the model. By doing so, time and cost can be saved, making it easier to complete the project on time, especially in projects with a limited time frame.

The project carried out in Georgetown, USA is a great example of time-saving. In this project, 100 houses were built and the completion time for each house was 5-7 days. This time is significantly shorter than the time required for houses built using traditional methods, which typically take around 16 weeks.

Provides Customization

Thanks to 3D technology, customization in designs can be easier. The design and application details of the structure can be more easily revised according to customer requests compared to traditional methods. Changes made in the 3D model will be sufficient for the areas that need modification, since the 3D printer will take care of the rest of the work. This is way, customer satisfaction can be brought to the highest level.

We continue our production without slowing down, preserving our values of original design and diverse, quality products. We add value to building design with our suspended ceiling (wood/metal), partition wall, raised floor, and LED lighting products. Every week, we cover inspiring topics with our new content.
