We have a 3D�printing future cities exhibit in our gallery at our One Market Office in San�Francisco. People: Steelblue�//�more Autodesk�//�more Stratasys //�more Related Autodesk software: Autodesk Infraworks //�more Autodesk Recap //�more Cities are in a constant state of change. In San�Francisco, the downtown and South of Market (SoMa) areas have evolved dramatically since the old Embarcadero freeway was taken down after being damaged by the Loma�Prieta earthquake in�1989. In the next few years, a number of new skyscrapers will rise above downtown and SoMa while a new transit hub and subway line are tunneled beneath. The 3D�model, printed at our Pier�9 workshop, shows the existing cityscape, as well as a number of buildings planned to be completed circa 2018. The 1:2250�scale model comes from a digital 3D�model created by Steelblue, a San�Francisco-based creative agency that specializes in visual marketing for building projects using Autodesk software.

But nothing compares with the experience of a physical model to give you a tactile sense of the future. For more information, check out this blog post on In the Fold when the model was first unveiled: Unveiling the largest-ever 3D-Printed Model of San�Francisco Thanks to Autodesk Senior Exhibit Designer, Roddy�Wykes, for the information contained in this blog posting. The gallery at One Market is open to the public on Wednesdays and Fridays from 10�am to 5�pm, and admission is free. Visit us. The Metropolis of the West is alive in the lab.
