A 3D model

I am printing a model of the house on the 3D printer. It melts PLA plastic and builds up thin layers from a computer model. PLA is made from starch, usually maize.

It is useful to turn the drawings into a physical model and get a feel for the spaces, even though the computer model already gives a fairly good impression.

image Printar ut en modell av huset på 3d-skrivaren. Den smälter PLA-plast och skriver ut tunna lager baserat på en datormodell. PLA är gjort på stärkelse, oftast från majs. Bra att få en fysisk modell med rumskänsla från ritningarna, även om 3d-modellen i datorn ger en ganska bra bild.
