myminifactory

Welcome to New York City! This model was created by MiniWorld3D collaborator Álvaro Rodrigo aka @3dvision_prints The Flatiron Building (originally named "Fuller Building") is a triangular 285 ft tall (86.9 m) steel-framed landmarked building located at 175 Fifth Avenue in the eponymous Flatiron District neighborhood of the borough of Manhattan, New York City. Designed by Daniel Burnham and Frederick Dinkelberg, it was one of the tallest buildings in the city upon its 1902 completion, at 20 floors high. As with numerous other wedge-shaped buildings, the name "Flatiron" derives from its resemblance to a cast-iron clothes iron. The building, which has been called "one of the world's most iconic skyscrapers and a quintessential symbol of New York City", designated a New York City landmark in 1966, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1989 (from Wikipedia). MiniWorld3D is excited to bring this model to life as a homage to all New Yorkers. This model was created from scratch in parametric software to ensure pristine clean 3D printing.
