3D PRINTING: MAPPING & GIS
It's a Small World After All:
Wasn't long ago that 3D scale models of buildings and terrain features were largely relegated to toy train sets, but 3D Printing has changed everything. 3D Printing offers a unique opportunity to generate accurate and scalable models of real world environments as a visual communication tools. In fact, most mapping projects already have the data necessary for 3D Printing. Whether it's a river valley hundreds of miles long or an individual building, Access Geographic has the capability to capture, process and deliver quality 3D Printed Models that meet your geospatial needs.
Creating a Unique Impression:
Effective geographic communication takes various forms. While we live in an increasingly digital world - tangible 3D models provide a unique tactile experience. People interact differently with 3D Models, inviting new perspectives and awareness of an environment.
Geographic Prototyping & Modeling:
3D Printing offers broad range of scale and detail options depending on your goals. We can process models that range from an entire landscape to a single building. Moreover, these models can be developed with a high spatial and dimensional accuracy. Depending on your goals, we can utilize existing geographic data or acquire new surface models using ground and aerial based mapping systems to generate the model baseline.
Deliverable Options:
How a 3D model is finalized is really up to your imagination. Model suraces can be very simple or finished with aerial photography and customized mapping data including contours, planimetrics and other cartographic annotation. 3D model horizontal profiles also offer an opportunity for vertical representations including geological renderings and other subterranean data.
How Can We Help?:
We are excited about the capabilities for this innovative new technology and look forward to talking about integrating 3D Printing into your next GIS and mapping project. Please feel to contact us!
