Abstract

The present work intends to show a rapid prototyping experience carried out starting from a three-dimensional model realized with the Revit 2021® software of the never realized project of the “Due ville a Capri” by the Turin architect Aldo Morbelli. The scale model was realized through the application of two digital manufacturing techniques: additive, the Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), used for the buildings and for the external built elements made of plastic and subtractive, the Laser Beam Machining (LBM), for the slope on which the two buildings stand, realized through the superimposition of cardboard layers.

The research after a first phase of redesign of the archival documents of the project in Revit 2021® focused on the preparation of the file for the realization of the real model, defining the printing scale, the materials, the exporting the file in STL format and the necessary operations to repair the file using Autodesk’s software for additive manufacturing, Netfabb®.
