RedEye adds architectural modeling division to its rapid prototyping and digital manufacturing service
RedEye ARC offers durable, interactive 3D scaled models for architects and home builders
Orlando, Fla. (Feb. 13, 2008) - RedEye (www.RedEyeOnDemand.com) today announced the launch of its new division, RedEye ARC (www.redeyearc.com), which serves the architectural industry with 3D scaled replica models of residential and commercial buildings, at the International Builders Show in Orlando, Fla.
"Many architects still use labor-intensive, handmade models to communicate their design to the client" said Jeff Hanson, manager of business development for RedEye. "Our technology can build accurate, durable models in a fraction of the time and cost of the traditional methods."
RedEye ARC will use fused deposition modeling® technology - an additive fabrication 3D printing process - to build architectural models in ABS plastic, including residential and commercial structures. The models are interactive, which means customers can remove floors to view each interior floor plan and its features. Because FDM builds applications from the bottom up, it can build details, such as stone, tile, appliances and fixtures, allowing the architect and home builder to instantly communicate design to clients.
RedEye ARC models serve as communication and sales tools. "Home buyers have a difficult time making such a big purchase simply by reviewing a one dimensional blueprint or rendering." said Ryan Sybrant, architectural development manager for RedEye ARC. "Showing the buyers a scaled model of the proposed plan helps alleviate any concerns they might have about the layout."
RedEye is a business unit of Stratasys, a leading manufacturer of additive fabrication, 3D printing and direct digital manufacturing systems. In addition to architecture, RedEye serves a number of other industries, including automotive, aerospace, medical and business machines. Its use of production-grade thermoplastic materials positions the company as a source for low-volume production, in addition to rapid prototyping.
