ARCHITECTURE

4th Dimension Technologies offers a range of solutions to forward-thinking designers, both hardware, such as 3D printing and 3D laser scanning for architectural models, and software.

The impact 3D modeling has on presenting architectural services is undoubtedly one of the most transforming things to have happened By printing more detailed models, we help our clients to better visualize the final projects. It’s like pulling out the multi-dimensional images directly from the brain and painting them on a paper to see how it looks.

A 3D architectural model can help clients and stakeholders visualize a project. We can help you offer realistic presentations of your ideas. The design becomes more vivid and clients can take a virtual tour of their construction projects. 3D technologies and tools allow architects to quickly check whether a new plan is viable or check how small changes to the design would look like.

Additive manufacturing in architecture offers better and more valuable designs for marketing and project approvals, giving a better chance of winning the customer. It also reduces the cost and post-construction cost-incurring changes or corrections by allowing for easy remodeling during the development.

With a clear design, it is easier for the construction engineers to complete the project at low costs and as per the plan. The productivity can be increased, the production time is decreased and the field interferences are almost eliminated.
So, what are the advantages of 3D building models in architecture?

DENTAL

There is obviously a growing use of 3D printing in the medical industry. Indeed, it can be used to create tools, prosthesis, dental implants, and so on. One of the many industries that have been heavily influenced by 3D printing is dentistry. Dental 3D printing is the key to modern dentistry, as it is really helpful for dental labs. Over the course of the past decade, the dental industry has been revolutionized by 3D printing technology. Several different applications of 3D printing have been developed, from fixing broken teeth to making flossing easier. Digital dentistry is wide-spreading quite fast in the industry for many reasons. As we said, it is an easy way to get customized items. Moreover, it is a cost-effective and time-saving method. For example, if your 3D printed device doesn’t fit, you just have to modify your 3D design. You don’t have to redo the whole process as you would have with injection molding.

3D printing takes the efficiencies of digital design to the production stage. By combining oral scanning, CAD/CAM design and 3D printing, dental labs can accurately and rapidly produce crowns, bridges, stone models and a range of orthodontic appliances.

The dental industry is transforming into a fully-digital one quicker than most dentists imagined. 3D technologies are completely altering the way in which dental solutions can be approached. That is due to its ability to print a variety of complex shapes in significant volumes, using different applicable materials. With a 3D printer doing the hard work, dental labs eliminate the bottleneck of manual modeling and let the business grow. Printing is done both in the dentist’s office and in labs, and it brings a new level of speed and ease to old procedures.

EDUCATION

Greek industry needs to design and manufacture high quality, ‘value-adapted’ innovative products that can compete in the global market. Studies of the Greek industrial manufacturing sector have shown that ‘competitiveness’ is a challenging issue when companies are offering simple products that can be sourced from alternative suppliers globally.

If Greece is to develop the engineers and innovators of the future, exposure to technology is vital from school age, so that young people are familiar with these resources and develop an interest in Science, Engineering and Technology.

In the days of 4.0 Industry and IoT, all sectors must adapt. Regarding the industry of education, students can benefit from the use of 3D printing in two different ways: First, they acquire knowledge about new technologies. This is important since 3D printing will have more and more importance in the future and will lead to profound economic and social changes through technology, without a doubt it is said that it will open a work field. On the other hand, thanks to 3D printing in education, complex theories can be simplified. Therefore, students benefit especially in the so-called MINT subjects, where 3D technology helps their understanding. But also used in subjects such as art, technology, geography, etc. can 3D printing be an advantage.

Additive manufacturing can benefit the individuals from the early stages of education all the way to the –necessary- lifelong learning. 3D technologies can be used, also, in higher education in many ways:

Digital repatriation is an aspect of heritage preservation work that has gained increasing popularity due to its effectiveness in assisting indigenous communities in connection with museum collections located at various institutions around the world. It is not an alternative to physical repatriation; rather, the two can be used in conjunction, especially with the incorporation of 3D technology.

3D supports the decolonization of preservation and documentation practices, as 3D models and point clouds can remain with the institution, with permission from the origin’s community, while the original physical piece can be repatriated. Due to 3D technology’s capability to render detailed models, it is possible to highlight groups of items, perhaps scattered around the world in real life, as an intellectual unit not only as masterpieces in their own rights but also as powerful and articulate representations of their origin communities and cultures.

Recasting digital repatriation in this light allows for perceiving it as a complementary method to, and a possible step toward, physical repatriation. Sharing 3D models with origin communities within the larger framework of a collaborative project disseminates information and raises awareness about the existence of previously unknown artifacts. Using the newly generated information to enrich digital repatriation platforms increases communication among collections, institutions, and local communities.
