El Consorci de la Zona Franca de Barcelona (CZFB) has today inaugurated the 3D model "Barcelona Plan 2026-2035" at the publisher's former headquarters Gustavo Gili, coinciding with the beginning of Barcelona 2026, World Capital of Architecture, to serve as a strategic tool for urban analysis.
Cutting-edge technology in District 4.0
This monumental piece, which occupies a total surface area of Sqm 82It is the result of an intense additive manufacturing process developed entirely within the Industry 4.0 ecosystem. DFactory Barcelona. The company Wind Force Investments She has been in charge of carrying out this technological challenge during seven months of specialized work.
The project has had the institutional presence of the mayor of Barcelona, Jaume Collboni; the city's chief architect, Maria Buhigas; and the special delegate of the State in the CZFB, Pere Navarro. During the event, Pere Navarro He highlighted that this initiative "It symbolizes the Consorci's commitment to a new way of manufacturing based on innovation and advanced technology."reaffirming the role of Barcelona as the nerve center of foreign trade and technology in southern Europe.

An instrument for urban analysis and dissemination
The model is not just a static representation, but a living object designed to evolve. Thanks to the use of Artificial Intelligence and digital representation systems, the piece guarantees exceptional accuracy in identifying neighborhoods, streets, and unique buildings. Its main features include:
- Scalability: Capacity to incorporate future urban transformations and strategic projects of the decade 2026-2035.
- Interactivity: Integration of digital information layers and augmented reality to visualize historical evolution.
- Technical sustainability: Printing of parts up to 35 x 35 cm in PLA material, ensuring durability and visual consistency.
The development of this infrastructure underscores the logistical and multidisciplinary coordination capabilities of DFactory Barcelonaconsolidating itself as the main node of Innovation in additive manufacturing and a benchmark for the international B2B sector seeking high-precision solutions.
