The plan is to make an online platform available by the middle of the year, which will make it possible for the modeller to design his own creations to the scale of 1:87 (H0) and, after completion, to have them directly produced by means of 3D printing. Scale modellers and hobby architects will thus have at their disposal a modular system of functions allowing them within a short time to hold in the hand the real model of any building they have designed according to their own conceptions.

Horst Neidhard, Managing Shareholder of Gebr. FALLER GmbH, put it clear: »In addition to our classic range of products, our customers will have the possibility to unleash their creativity and realize any individual dream projects and own creations. Through consistent development of our product line in the sector of scale modelling, the hobby will gain additional attractiveness.«
