3D printed maquette of Amsterdam on scale 1:2000

All that plastic
bondarchuk•3mo ago
What of it?
fusslo•3mo ago
I 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•3mo ago
The 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.

fusslo•3mo ago
very cool! thank you
pavel_lishin•3mo ago
I 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•3mo ago
it 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•3mo ago
Oh, 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.

In my opinion, this is the kind of thing that is better done with AR.
skylurk•3mo ago
Isn't it AR? Or do you mean the headset kind?
intrasight•3mo ago
I did mean the headset kind.

I guess one could say that all human artifacts augment reality.

skylurk•3mo ago
This one has projectors and animated sprites, kinda like the headset stuff. Maybe it has a different name, IDK.

Stockholm has a free 1:1000 model in the center of the city that you can walk on!

jawline•3mo ago
A 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/). Lots of the world has such data publicly available so its pretty cool to print your local area with recent data.
