Urban Architectural Model Making Case Study

I. Main Structure Construction

‌Framework System‌

The main building was printed in segments using high-precision photosensitive resin, with acrylic panels embedded in the window openings to simulate a glass curtain wall.

The curved surface of the podium was formed using hand-laid fiberglass, reinforced with a resin skeleton.

The sky bridge was printed using nylon-fiberglass composite, with miniature springs embedded in the hinged joints.

‌Detailed Components‌

Curtain wall units undergo vacuum coating to achieve different reflective effects.  

Roof equipment features hand-added rivets and other miniature details.  

Landscape vegetation combines laser-cut acrylic with resin printing.  

II. Surface Treatment Process  

‌Base Preparation‌  

Stepped layer patterns are filled with professional putty.  

The entire structure is sprayed with gray primer for a uniform base color.  

‌Professional Coating‌  

Curtain Wall Effect:

Commercial areas use metallic paint as a base coat with a transparent blue glaze

Office areas feature gradient spray painting to simulate sky reflections

Concrete texture:

Matte paint mixed with gypsum powder is sprayed

Construction joint locations are etched to enhance three-dimensionality

Metal components:

Decorative strips use mirror-finish electroplating

Small components undergo thermal coloring treatment

III. Lighting System Integration

Internal translucency is achieved through pre-embedded fiber optic bundles

Micro LED light strips are embedded along building edges

Advertising spaces use UV-printed ultra-thin lightbox panels.

4. Quality Control Points:

Curtain wall unit joints must be visually gap-free.

Fiberglass components must pass curing degree tests.

Lighting systems must undergo continuous aging tests.
