3D printed maquette of Amsterdam on scale 1:2000
- abstractspoon 1y agoAll that plastic
- bondarchuk 11mo agoWhat of it?
- fusslo 11mo agoI always love these miniatures when I see them in museums, airports, city halls, etc. Maybe I missed it, I didn't see where the data came from. I am wondering if someone did scans of the city with something that generates point cloud data. Or maybe extrapolated from a 2d satellite and then later fixed by humans?
- marceldegraaf 11mo agoThe Netherlands has very complete and reliable public datasets (provided by the government) that contain loads of information about roads, buildings, up to individual trees. Additionally, there's sites like Netherlands3D[0] that combines these datasets into a 3D representation of the entire country. 0: https://netherlands3d.eu/ https://netherlands3d.eu/
- fusslo 11mo agovery cool! thank you
- pavel_lishin 11mo agoI love the overhead projector adding another level of information to this. I wonder how hard it would be to make one of these of my town. Surely there's publicly available lidar data that I could import into some software to slice it into squares small enough for me to 3D-print? Although I guess I'd have to make sure I'm not just printing noise where trees are...
- pineaux 11mo agoit depends how big you want to scale it. This one must be quite costly by the look of it. I wouldnt be surprised if it costs multiple hundreds of thousands to realise this maquette.
- pavel_lishin 11mo agoOh, I'm sure - this is a professional installation. I'd have a budget of... whatever filament I have laying around :P Hell, might be easier to somehow convert my 3D printer into something that can cut XPS foam instead.

- intrasight 11mo agoIn my opinion, this is the kind of thing that is better done with AR.
- skylurk 11mo agoIsn't it AR? Or do you mean the headset kind?
- intrasight 11mo agoI did mean the headset kind. I guess one could say that all human artifacts augment reality.
- skylurk 11mo agoThis one has projectors and animated sprites, kinda like the headset stuff. Maybe it has a different name, IDK.
- JBiserkov 11mo agoStockholm has a free 1:1000 model in the center of the city that you can walk on! https://vaxer.stockholm/en/visit-us/the-stockholm-room/ https://vaxer.stockholm/en/visit-us/the-stockholm-room/
- jawline 11mo agoA while ago I wrote a program to generate models like this from lidar data and more recently to fill in missing data with a simple model (https://github.com/jawline/reflector/ https://github.com/jawline/reflector/). Lots of the world has such data publicly available so its pretty cool to print your local area with recent data.
