🔸🔹 volumetric construction technique 🔸🔹 In the technique of making a volume mockup, they look at the mockup from a top angle so that you can see the layers of the floors and put them on top of each other. Volumetric replica is obtained by slicing the plan or view and montage them on top of each other. Making a replica with this technique is less expensive than other techniques because the scale of work in this type of replica is small and less material and cutting is used in it. 🔸🔹 Making a topography volume model 🔸🔹 The topography includes the site of the collection and the design bed, which is designed according to the slope of the land and the elevation. The topography model consists of volume layers that are assembled on top of each other in a stepwise manner. To make topography volumetric models, we start from the large layer and zero height code of the site plan, and each time we increase the height level, we place it on the previous layer until we reach the last layer. Usually, the topography material is determined according to its scale and height code, and cardboard, cardboard, foam board, or MDF are mostly used in the construction of the topography model.
🔸🔹The technique of making a folding replica 🔸🔹 In this method, to make a replica, we draw the sides of the plan as a line and then add a line at the point where the side angle changes. All the floors of a replica can be made with this method. The door and window and details of the facade can be seen well in this method and engraving or cutting can be used to show them. The most suitable material for making this type is the warm cardboard jacket, although you can also use imitation cardboard, but it will have a much harder effect. 🔸🔹 The technique of making replicas by the page-by-page method 🔸🔹 In this method, the sides of the plan are aligned at a 90-degree angle, so that the walls of the floors are cut separately and then assembled together, and their connection is done with glue. In this method, details can be seen well. In this method, you can use the cardboard material of MDF, balsa wood.
🔸🔹 technique of making replicas with 3D printing 🔸🔹 In this method of making a mockup, the entire volume of the mockup is made with 3D printing, some parts of the mockup may be drawn manually and some with 3D printing and assembled together. 3D printing prints correctly compared to some drawing software, Rhino and 3D Max software are suitable for making mockups by 3D printing method. The material used in 3D printing is a type of hard plastic that can print details of 2 mm and above. The volume that is 3D printed must be completely closed and many voids will cause defects in its construction.
