  12. Finding the Right Scale • Take the structure’s ACTUAL feet in height and multiply x 12 to get actual inches. • The Burj Dubai is 2,722’ tall. • 2,722’ X 12” = 32,664 inches. • Because we are printing it 5,000 times smaller we divide 32,664 by 5000. (6.5 inches). • Convert inches to millimeters. • Multiply inches x 25.4

  13. You can also use an online tool!

  14. Millimeters • The Burj Dubai, 5,000 times smaller than actual size is 165 millimeters tall. FACT! The Burj Dubai is the tallestbuilding in the world – by far!
