About this Course

Curious how physical scale models go from the drawing board to the display table at a client meeting?

In this course, get an expert's take on how professionals approach the model-building process. Expert takes you through each step of the workflow, showing you how to use Rhino to design a digital file of a building for the physical fabrication of a scale model.

Expert begins by covering general model-building methods, as well as how to compose a digital file for different fabrication options. Expert goes over the best import and post-processing methods when working with files types outside of Rhino. Using an imported base model, expert demonstrates how to rebuild a model out of puzzle pieces that will be fabricated and reassembled physically.

Plus, get best practices for laying out your materials for laser cutting.
