3D Models as Cases Study

Chapter six presents the details of the evaluation of the twelve-3D paper printed models as a case study to target the dimensional accuracy of several different and complex geometries that serve facade engineering. The identification for printing efficiency and the effective factors of different printing results for these 3D models were also presented in terms of structural integration and efficiency of printed geometry and dimensional accuracy. The 3D models were designed to satisfy the functionality of 3D printed paper models as potential applications for shading elements by optimizing the passive solar radiation energy, and for acoustic purposes for interior partitions or cladding acoustic panels with aesthetic and complex geometries. The details of the designs are shown in Appendix G.
