i.materialise, an online 3D creation and 3D printing service, lets users easily build 3D scale models with a high level of detail. Models are a good way to better visualize houses, interiors, buildings or environments. The company now provides a Google SketchUp plug-in, which guides users through creating a scale model and preparing it for 3D printing in only four simple steps. When finished, you can have your model built on a Z Corp. 3D printer, at a fixed and affordable price.
