材料能為直觀地表達設計的視覺效果，因此模型材料的選擇是模型設計的重要環節。用于模型制作的材料種類繁多，數量潘達，一個模型所用到的材料一般不會很多，如果要從中進行選擇就成為材料準備的重要問題。材料的選擇應注意以下幾點：

Materials can directly express the visual effect of design, so the selection of model materials is an important part of model design. There are many kinds of materials used in model making, and the number of them is panda. Generally, there are not many materials used in a model. If you want to choose from them, it becomes an important problem of material preparation. The following points should be paid attention to in the selection of materials:

1、不同的制作方法應選擇不同的模型材料：

1. Different materials should be selected for different manufacturing methods

手工制作模型材料的選擇手工制作模型選材應利于徒手切割加工。模型的主體材料一般可以選擇軟木片、木條、木塑板、泡沫塑料、KT板、各種卡紙等。

The selection of materials for handmade models should be conducive to freehand cutting. The main material of the model can be cork, wood, wood plastic, foam, KT board and various cardboard.

制作模型有利于刻畫細節，材料一般比較堅實，如亞克力、ABS板、有機玻璃、雙色板等。

Making models is conducive to depicting details, and the materials are generally solid, such as acrylic, ABS board, plexiglass, two-color board, etc.

2、不同的模型類型應選用不同的模型材料：

2. Different model materials should be selected for different model types

設計概念模型一般突出設計的整體思路，多用于設計交流和交流展示活動。概念展示模型往往需要詳細地對模型設計制作進行策劃。對底板、建筑主體或景觀主體、建筑構件或景觀設施、配景等材料要整體設計。、一般來講所選用的模型材料種類不宜過多，特別是顏色應簡單統一，在突出一些局部特點的時候，可利用不同質地或肌理效果但顏色相近的材料來處理。

Design concept model generally highlights the overall idea of design, and is mostly used for design communication and exhibition activities. Concept display model often needs detailed planning for model design and production. The floor, the main body of the building or the main body of the landscape, the building components or the landscape facilities, the landscape and other materials should be designed as a whole. Generally speaking, the types of model materials should not be too many, especially the color should be simple and unified. When some local characteristics are highlighted, materials with different texture or texture effects but similar color can be used.

寫實效果模型常用于設計方案的展示，一般房地產和城區的規劃展示往往采用寫實效果模型。這種模型的目的在于讓觀者直觀地了解方案終的實際效果，可以在模型上選擇戶型。

The realistic effect model is often used in the display of design scheme, and the realistic effect model is often used in the general real estate and urban planning display. The purpose of this model is to let the viewer intuitively understand the final actual effect of the scheme, and choose the house type on the model.

這類模型在選擇材料商比較簡單，主要結合設計方案的顏色和肌理效果。材料一般都需機器加工，再進行著色處理。配景材料的顏色可以規劃成幾個層次，但主要的色相還是寫實為主，配景材料一般種類比較，能夠突出模型的細節和真實性。

This kind of model is relatively simple in the selection of material suppliers, mainly combined with the color and texture effect of the design scheme. Materials generally need to be machined and then colored. The color of background materials can be planned into several levels, but the main hue is realistic. Generally, the types of background materials are comprehensive, which can highlight the details and authenticity of the model.
