Workshop: Intro to 3-D Geo-Printing

Join the Arizona State University Library Map and Geospatial Hub for this two-hour workshop on printing geographical 3-D models.

This hands-on workshop will explore three types of geographical 3-D models thus far experimented with

1. physiographic (topographic landscapes)
2. cityscapes (built environment meso-scale)
3. building and landscape architectures (built environment micro-scale)

In all three of these instances, the primary data inputs will be publicly available geospatial datasets.

We'll explore both web-based data extraction services that quickly provide appropriate data for 3-D printing as well as raw data that requires some basic pre-processing in a geographic information system software application.
