Build Technologies

With more than 80 systems in its facilities, RedEye ARC can take on any size project and deliver a quick turnaround. Below, you will find a quick overview of the 3D printing technology and a list of common applications.

FDM® (Fused Deposition Modeling)

Overview
RedEye ARC uses its patented fused deposition modeling (FDM) technology to create amazing architectural models from digital 3D files. FDM uses a layering technology that converts 3D architectural files into thin layers of ABS plastic to produce hand held models. The layering process allows RedEye to build geometry and detail unattainable by traditional modeling methods.

Highlights

• Material available in white and semi translucent.
• Durable, robust ABS plastic.
• 36 x 24 x 36” build envelope.
• Sand and paint to any desired finish.

Recommended Application

• Exterior and interior models
• 1/8 and 1/4 models.
• Interactive models with removable floors and roofs.
• Site plan.
• Topography.

Polyjet

Overview
Architectural models that require extremely fine detail due to smaller scales are built with RedEye ARC’s Polyjet technology. Using the same layering process as FDM, Polyjet uses thinner “layers” to build with incredible detail and accuracy at any scale. Polyjet models feature an extremely smooth finish. The build material is a resin offered in a semi-clear, blue, white and black.

Highlights

• Extremely high resolution.
• Material available in semi-clear, blue, white and black. (Show me Polyjet colors)
• Delivers smooth exterior and interior surfaces.
• 19.5 x 15.5 x 8” build envelope.
• Sand and paint to any desired finish.

Recommended Application

• Exterior and interior models
• 1/64 scale and upward.
• Interactive models with removable floors and roofs.
• Small scaled site plan.
• Small scaled topography.
• Clear featured models such as floor and roof.
