127 m of the Pirelli Tower, 35 mm on your shelf
Make this print opens the generator on a 600 m square around the landmark. Buildings print at close to true scale, so the landmark grows with the print size.
- A tapered profile
The tower's sides taper from a wide base to a narrow top, so the profile changes at every level. Print slowly with good cooling, and use 0.12-0.16 mm layers to keep the edges clean.
- One piece with the ground
The Pirelli Tower is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.
- Pick the detail for your nozzle
In the Buildings settings, set Landmark detail to Print friendly to adapt thin parts and small details to the print scale. Full detail keeps every modeled feature, for larger prints or a finer nozzle.
- Colors
Buildings, roads, water and ground arrive as separate filament slots in the 3MF. The Pirelli Tower takes the building color.
- File format
You get a 3MF for Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or PrusaSlicer. Any of them can save it as STL if you need one.
About the Pirelli Tower
Pirelli Tower, nicknamed the Pirellone, is a 32-story skyscraper 127 m (417 ft) tall in Milan, Italy. Its footprint measures 1,900 m2 (roughly 20,000 sq ft); the building runs 75.5 m (248 ft) long and 20.5 m (67 ft) wide. About 30,000 m3 of concrete, or 1,100,000 cu ft, went into the structure.
The design combines a structural skeleton with curtain wall facades and tapered sides, and it counts among the first skyscrapers to leave the customary block shape behind. Hasan-Uddin Khan, an architectural historian, ranked it among the world's most elegant tall buildings. It inspired New York's Pan Am Building, Auckland's National Mutual West Plaza and Barcelona's Banco Sabadell Tower.
Alberto Pirelli, who ran the Pirelli tire company, commissioned the skyscraper in 1950 in the area where its first factory had stood in the 19th century. Gio Ponti led the design, helped by Pier Luigi Nervi and Arturo Danusso. Work began in 1956, and the tower was completed in 1958 as a symbol of Milan and of Italy's economic recovery from World War II. In 1978 the company sold it to the Lombardy regional government.
