Hi everyone! I was wondering what everyone's experience has been regarding using 3d-printing as a design tool for projects. I was hoping to get insights as to when 3d prints might have informed or helped figure out something in a project.
My own experience with it -be it massing models, sectional models etc has always ended up in being more of a presentation piece where I have already figured something out digitally or with a sketch and I am just printing it because it looks cool or intriguing to other people/clients. Any tips on how to make it a genuine thinking tool rather than just another way to draft out an idea? I would love to know how other people use the tool!
