The development of an industry depends on the demand of the market. For the real estate sand table model, there are many new buildings every year. These buildings need sand table model, which means that there is a good market development for the sand table model industry. For better sales, almost no real estate company does not make a beautiful sand table model for itself. It is a communication bridge between developers and customers.

材料与沙盘模型的关系是非常紧密的，从早期的沙盘模型可以看出它们使用的材料只是普通的泥土、木材等。现在的材料有合金材料、塑料材料等。材料的发展也使得建模制作来的发展更辉煌，随着材料的愈发多样化，仿真度愈发高，这也提升了沙盘模型的品质。

The relationship between materials and sand table model is very close. It can be seen from the early sand table model that the materials they use are only ordinary soil, wood, etc. Now there are alloy materials, plastic materials and so on. The development of materials also makes the development of modeling and manufacturing more brilliant. With the increasing diversification of materials, the simulation degree is higher and higher, which also improves the quality of sand table model.

制作工艺，建筑模型体现的效果除了材料有一定的影响外，制作工艺也是直接影响沙盘模型效果的重要因素，从以前的制作方式来的一般只有雕塑、雕刻这两种。而现代的制作工艺则更先进，制作设备更智能，借助数字技术与电子设备制作出来的沙盘模型更逼真，更具特点。

In addition to the influence of materials, the production process is also an important factor that directly affects the effect of sand table model. Generally, there are only sculpture and sculpture from the previous production methods. The modern production technology is more advanced, the production equipment is more intelligent, and the sand table model made with the help of digital technology and electronic equipment is more realistic and characteristic.

数字技术与电子设备是现代沙盘模型上必备的元素各种各样的数字模型也在商业活动中流行起来，更具科技感的展示方式让们对项目的认知更深刻，而这也是现代建筑所需要体现特点，在未来的制作中愈发智能化，数字化、人性化的沙盘模型将会在各领域中出现。

Digital technology and electronic equipment are essential elements of modern sand table models. A variety of digital models are also popular in commercial activities. More scientific and technological display methods make people have a deeper understanding of the project, which is also the characteristic of modern architecture. It will become more intelligent in future production, and digital and humanized sand table models will appear in various fields.

制作方式的发展，随着3D打印技术的发展更成熟，使得沙盘模型批量生产成为了可能，就以现在的生产速度来说一套大型的建筑模型可能要半个月甚至更久的时间才能完成。其中还需要大量的人力，花费很多精力来制作，而用3D打印技术则可以很快的制作出一套完成的沙盘模型，只需要一台电脑一台的3D打印设备就可以完成一套建筑模型的制作，这也将会给模型制作行业带来更多方便。

With the development of production methods and the more mature development of 3D printing technology, mass production of sand table models has become possible. At the current production speed, a set of large building models may take half a month or even longer to complete. It also requires a lot of manpower and energy to make, and 3D printing technology can quickly make a set of completed sand table model. It only needs a computer and a professional 3D printing equipment to complete the production of a set of architectural model, which will also bring more convenience to the model production industry.
