3DMTP<\/a> is a cloud-based software service, focused on making 3D architectural models 3D Printable. 3DMTP automatically transforms 3D designs, from BIM, 3D CAD, SketchUp software and other 3D visualization software into scalable and 3D printable model files.  <\/p>\n

3DMTP helps overcome the complex challenges sometimes faced in making 3D scaled models printable for architects, developers and designers. The innovation is based on algorithms which study-the geometric structure of the model, identify and AUTOMATICALLY fix problems that would have prevented it from being successfully printed. Sweet.<\/p>\n

\"3D<\/a> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Once you
\nare ready to turn your design into a 3D printable model, upload your
\ndesign file and set your parameters: scale, profile, and desired 3D
\nprinter. 3DMTP automatically processes the file without any additional
\noperator interface. 3DMTP also fixes holes between polygons and facets,
\nrepairs reverse surfaces, changes the thickness of walls to minimum
\nprint tolerance for the selected printer, fixes non-volumetric geometry
\n(making objects “watertight”), and fixes many other problems of
\ndegenerated geometry that otherwise would prevent the model from
\nprinting successfully<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
