Riva Digital is responsible for the design and production of architectural models for the "Canal West" apartment building project in Dubai Sports City. As an important tool for publicity, the project needed to produce a 10-foot-long 1:160 scaled down architectural model. Making such a model itself is very difficult, and the client also requires it to be completed within two months, which can be said to be an impossible task for the size and complexity of the model.

David Fan, founder and president of Fonco, said: "We quickly realized that if we want to complete this project on time and keep it within budget, we must use 3D printing to make models. The main question is which 3D printer to use. We must choose a high-quality equipment because the deadline is short and there is no time to replace it."
David Fan and his team learned about all the 3D printers on the market, including the products of 3D Systems. David said: "Most 3D printers are either too expensive or the quality is not good enough to meet our requirements. However, 3D Systems' 3D printers are different. They are really good quality and cheap. Not only are the quality satisfactory, but the price is also high. Within our budget. Buying this product is our wisest choice."
