3D modeling is the creation of a 3D object or shape using software to simulate reality. Modeling can be applied in various fields such as animations, prefabrication, 3D printing, video games, and many other areas.
Modeling in Architecture
With the advent of the fourth industrial revolution, also known as Industry 4.0, smart homes and smart cities are being introduced into our lives. Architects can bring the houses they design to life using 3D modeling. Even today, architects utilize modeling software when designing houses.
Modeling for Prototyping
Engineers can test their prototypes in a virtual environment. Through modeling, product testing phases are also conducted in the virtual environment, assessing potential issues with the product in advance. This way, the product is tested for unforeseen problems, providing a final check before it is brought to the market and avoiding significant costs.
3D Printers
Thanks to 3D printers, which are now more readily available even in domestic settings, the production of spare parts is gaining momentum. These machines, initially capable of printing only plastic, have evolved over time to print materials like metal, carbon fiber, rubber, and fabric. Moreover, 3D printers are even capable of printing houses as prefabricated components.
Other Applications of 3D Modeling
Modeling allows for animations in advertising and virtual tours for designs. Furthermore, furniture retail applications use scanners to visualize furniture in your space, using your camera to facilitate your selection. This demonstrates the power of modeling for sales.
