Imagine stepping into a room with a giant 24 foot map of one of the most iconic islands in America, Manhattan. Think such a site would would impressive? Now imagine if that 24 foot long map was actually 3D printed. Instead of a map, it is now a scaled model of the iconic borough of NYC.

That's just what Vick Art Advisors has had created. They wanted something which would draw attention to an area of their corporate space, so hey hired Sparks 3D Design. Sparks decided to use Quickparts.com, a 3D Systems run company, to help them complete the task.
