Guide

3D model before fabrication

Before we cut the first part, we draw the project in 3D. You see the model before we fabricate, and our engineering team reviews it. This guide explains what you decide on that model, what engineering checks and why it avoids problems on site.

Where the model comes from

We start from whatever you have: your architect’s drawings, a render, a photo or a hand sketch. If needed, we first take the measurements on your site with digital equipment, so the model matches what is built and not only what is drawn.

What you decide

On the model you approve the shape, the size, the design and the color. On the façade of the Hotel Hilton in Punta Cana, the color was the one the hotel approved. On a pergola you see the direction of the louvers and how it sits on your terrace; on a façade, every panel in its position.

What engineering checks

Our multidisciplinary engineering team checks the structure in the model: how it stands, where it is anchored, how it joins what already exists. On a double-height lattice screen the anchors are set in the 3D; when an industrial building is extended, the joint with the existing building is solved before anyone reaches the site.

An image made of panels

On a circle façade the model is essential: the image is drawn whole, divided into panels and each panel is cut with its own circles. Mounted in order, they form the image. Without the model there would be no order to follow.

To present the project

The model also works outside the plant: the developer shows it to buyers, the owner presents it to the design committee of the community, and a condominium’s management uses it to approve a shared design.

From model to site

The parts we laser-cut, bend, weld and paint come from that same model. That is why, when structure, roof and panels come from one plant, everything fits on site. The approved model is also the basis of the quote.

Frequently asked questions

Can I see the piece before it is made?

Yes. You see the 3D model before we fabricate.

Who checks the model?

Our multidisciplinary engineering team, before fabrication starts.

Do I need drawings to get a 3D model?

No. You can start with a photo or a hand sketch.

Can I change the color after seeing the model?

Yes. The color is adjusted on the model, before we fabricate.
