3D-printed components for a Porcelanosa scale model

The project

Porcelanosa commissioned us to produce a series of components for a scale model of its facilities. Our work began with visits to its factories and concluded with the delivery of 3D-printed, painted components ready for assembly.

The industrial facilities themselves were the starting point. During our visits, we took photographs to use as references for digitally modelling the components. The commission involved translating existing elements into scale model parts, rather than designing the facilities they represented.

Once modelled, the components were 3D printed and painted. The collection combines cylindrical forms on legs, repeated rectangular modules and elongated elements. Grey, black and white finishes, with touches of colour on some parts, accompany this variety of forms.

Archicercle’s contribution covered photographic documentation at the factories, digital modelling and production of the components. The parts were delivered ready to be incorporated into Porcelanosa’s scale model; the documented scope ends with that delivery, before assembly.
