Ball State Students 3D Print a Demolished Landmark from Photos Only
Many educational institutions are really beginning to use 3D printing to help make learning more hand-on and interesting. Ball State University is using this technology in their Drawings + Documents Archive to help bring one historical building, which was demolished in the 60s back to life. Students were tasked with taking 2D drawings of the Wysor Grand Opera House, turning it into a 3D model, which was then 3D printed. The results were quite nice, and the students took a much greater interest in learning. Read and see more about this at: http://3dprint.com/21516/ball-state-3d-printing/
Below is an image of original architectural drawings and 3D printed pieces:

Aaaand downloading! I love this kind of stuff.
Not even for making architectural models, but for adding architectural embellishments to other designs.

Thank you to 3dprint.com for profiling our project here at the Drawings + Documents Archive. I hope many people enjoy the incredible architectural features of the Wysor Grand Opera House. The file for the entire building should be available on our website soon!
I encourage you to share with us how you use the 3D models and/or prints. You can email ddarchive@bsu.edu or respond on our blog at http://ddarchive.blogspot.com/. Your feedback will be invaluable to us as we move forward with this project and select other structures to model.
