Pillars and columns as interior decoration. Kinds. 3D models for CNC.

Columns and pillars are used in modern interiors no less often than in the old days. And such an item can be made on a computer numerical control (CNC) machine.

The machine allows you to realize any, even the most complex, shapes and decorative elements on the material. The main thing is that suitable 3D models are available.

In this article we will look at the types of columns, pillars, semi-columns, their functionality, and their design. And we will make links to the relevant sections of the site so that you can choose 3D models for CNC.

Purpose and material:

Modern columns and pillars have quite extensive functionality.

It could be:

• Support for something (directly the original purpose of these architectural elements),
• Decoration (interior, doorways, gazebos, porches, stairs) - using 3D CNC models you can create not just pillars and columns, but real works of art with rich carved decor,
• Design of furniture facades, door panels, fireplace portals, etc.
• Interior styling (for example, if a classic is chosen, then columns in a classic style will help complement the interior and perfectly emphasize the chosen style),
• Visual division of space into zones.
• The material for production can be wood, MDF, chipboard, stone, marble, plastic, etc. Depending on the capabilities of the CNC machine.

Kinds:

There are different types of columns and pillars, depending on the shape, purpose, and features.

The main ones are:

• pillars
• half-pillars
• columns
• capitals
• And their varieties.

Pillars are vertical architectural elements that were originally the load-bearing part of the supporting structure of buildings and structures. They were also used to fasten something (for example, a lamp post). A column is considered a type of pillar.

The design of a pillar, unlike a column, is much simpler. Usually this is a straight element, without the upper part (capital) characteristic of columns.

At the same time, the pillars are different. They can be twisted, decorated with interesting carved decor, and can have different cross-sectional shapes (closer to round or closer to square, as well as with bends - cone-shaped pillars, widening in the center and tapering at the edges, etc.).

Our website presents 3D models of poles for CNC machines of various shapes, with an original design. Take a look at the entire range - you will definitely find something interesting for yourself.

There are also half-pillars - small columns that can be suitable for decorating shelves, portals, stairs, balconies, and furniture. See the link for 3D models of half-pillars. They are decorated with floral decorations, figurines of lions and mythical animals, and interesting ornaments.

Beautiful church pillars are distinguished by their lush decor and intricate shapes. Some of them can also be used in mundane interiors. Look at the link to see the variety of models presented on our website and how beautifully simple pillars can be decorated!

A category that deserves special attention is entry pillars. These pillars are usually installed at the base of the stairs and are distinguished by their original shape, including those made in the shape of animals (swans, horses, eagles, lions, angels). The entire range of models: here.

Columns - usually have a cylindrical shape. The product is crowned with a capital (it supports the architectural structure and is beautifully decorated with an exquisite pattern). And at the base there is usually a base. Bottom of the column.

3D models of columns and 3D models of capitals in stl format are distinguished by a wide variety of shapes, textures and decor. Options for classic interiors predominate. But there are many different solutions, including for modern styles.

Pilasters are flat columns. Narrow, occupying minimal space, imitating a full-fledged column with a base and capital, pilasters have gained popularity because they help create the desired effect in the interior without cluttering it. Often used to decorate the TV area, fireplace portal, doorways, walls and furniture facades. You can view 3D models of pilasters here.

Manufacturing. 3D models:

In order to make pillars, half-pillars, columns, pilasters and other similar elements, it is necessary:

• Firstly, prepare a suitable 3D model, which will allow you to evaluate in advance the appearance of the future product, agree with the customer, and decide on the final option.
• Secondly, adapt the model to the future product, configure all the necessary parameters, and build a control program.
• Then prepare the material, set up the equipment, go through a rough cut using coarser cutters and move on to detailed turning with a thinner cutting tool to create jewelry-accurate, minute decoration.
• And finally, finish it by sanding, varnishing or painting.

Our assortment includes a huge number of 3D models of various products. Our models are of high quality, which guarantees decent results for your products.

The moderate cost of the models will allow you to quickly recoup your purchase.

A bonus discount system will make your purchase even more profitable.

If necessary it is possible to modify any of the presented models according to your order (you can offer to change something in the presented models, or ask our model artists to draw a unique model from a photo, video, text description, if you have not found a suitable option on the site). We will ensure fast execution and high compliance with your expectations.
