Getting Started

RedEye ARC has made ordering and building architectural models an easy and streamlined process. Unlike traditional modeling, 3D printed models provide a “what you see is what you get” philosophy. The ability to “proof” your model prior to build will help ensure accuracy and deadline delivery.

Below you can review the entire process of ordering a RedEye ARC sales model.

Required Information (Email to Quote@redeyearc.com)

• 2D Cad Data
• Model Overview (Interior or Exterior Only, Full Detail, Tope etc.)
• Deadline

2D CAD
Send in your 2D CAD plans and we will convert your drawings into perfectly buildable, highly detailed STL file.

RedEye ARC’s staff of CAD converters will include every interior and exterior detail in the conversion process. Once the file is deemed perfect, you will receive a 3D file to proof and to keep for future email correspondence.

To take advantage of RedEye ARC’s conversion service, simply send us the following sheets in DWG form.

1. Elevations (N,S,E,W)
2. Floor Plan
3. Roof Plan
4. Details Sheets

2. Proof
A RedEye ARC representative will provide you with a final sign-off proof of the project in the form of a 3D PDF and talk you through the proofing process. You can also use the 3D PDF as a great marketing tool in e-newsletters as well as your website. If any changes apply to the model, simply make a note and we will deliver another proof.

“When viewing a 3D proof of your project,
what you see is what you get!”

3. Build
Once the file is approved, it is time to “print.” Our proprietary software, Insight™, processes the CAD data. The software generates a machine tool path and support structures to ensure proper build of the model, regardless of its geometry.

We then build the file, and your model will come to life one layer at a time.

4. Finishing
Upon finishing the build, we send the model to our finishing department where it gets quality checked, sanded and textured or painted, if you choose that option.

We can paint the model and match it to any color code you request. Simply submit the name of the paint manufacturer and paint code. We will use the exact paint you will use on your final project to ensure accuracy.

5. Ship
The model gets another quality check by your project coordinator and it is on its way to you. We will contact you with the routing number to help you track your package. Once the model arrives, the RedEye ARC’s architectural development manager will call you to make sure the model meets your expectations.
