Benefits of restoration

Have you considered the benefits of restoration and why this is such an important service? There are four major reasons why you should consider restoration or preservation of something. 

Culture

Restoring historic buildings connects us to the past. They remind us of what came before us. But mostly, it helps create a sense of culture. Old buildings give us a way to study the past. They have unique characteristics that can be difficult to replicate in new commercial builds. You may be able to make a new structure look similar to the old. But it won’t feel the same. This is because building techniques and materials are different.

Education

Preserving historic homes and buildings act as learning tools. This stands true not only for architects and builders but for students and communities too. Think of all the tangible education that would be lost if historic buildings were demolished. Visiting old structures is a way for architects and builders to study past techniques and design. It is something that technology could not give nor replicate. Meanwhile, others can learn the past and what influenced the present day. It is imperative we restore historic structures. They are the best history teachers.

Economy

Not only does historic restoration benefit culture and education. It also helps to boost the economy. Think about all the tourism fund that could aid a community by keeping these structures alive. Preserving or restoring old structures is good for business. It benefits travel and tourism. As a result, it also helps create new jobs. 

Environment

Any form of restoration is environmentally friendly compared to a new build. You are not wasting materials, or creating a need for new ones. Also, rehabilitating existing structures can make them more eco-friendly. Efforts to restore buildings can also help limit environmental factors

We highly appreciate everything we do. As a result, we want our products to be highly of use. All of our materials are durable and expected of a long life span. 

Workflow of our 3D printing for restoration

Designing

You can either use our 3D scanning services. Then have it processed with your measuring requirements with a CAD software. After that, export to a 3D printable file format (STL or OBJ). 

After setting up, another software sends instructions to the printer via a wireless or cable connection.

Printing

This process begins after having a quick confirmation on the set up. Our machines does not need human supervision to run until the print is complete. Printers also have a cartridge system. This automatically refills the machine.

Post-processing

Printed parts require 

• Rinsing in isopropyl alcohol (IPA) to remove any uncured resin from their surface.
• Once material is dry, some may need to undergo post-curing. This helps parts to reach their highest possible strength and stability.
• The parts are being smoothened by sanding the remaining marks for a clean finish.  

Wide range of plastic restoration services 

Our restoration services range from small projects to big ones. 

Yes, you’ve read right. Even big restorations such as houses or buildings. We do this by 3D virtual imaging. 

First, we scan the entire property. This allows us to accurately assess losses up close and remotely. Through this, we increase transparency. We are also able to reduce discrepancies. As a result, we help improve the speed of settling claims and restoring properties. 

3D imaging technology can walk you through the entire property. You see exactly where the damage has occurred and the anticipated finished product. A bigger aspect of this is the insurance carriers and their adjusters. They are able to investigate losses without even visiting the site.

So don’t limit yourself to photographs.
