Mountains are universally embraced for their overwhelming, majestic presence: beautiful to look at and challenging to climb in many instances. Shapeways 3D printing service and marketplace has made Mountain Shapes' high-resolution 3D printed mountain models available at an average of $25-$35 per model for mountain climbers, budding geologists, science teachers, and collectors. Mountain Shapes is London-based and therefore it offers Standard reliefs (using Ordnance Survey OpenData) of English, Scottish, and Welsh Peaks and a Superior relief of the National Peaks (Ben Navis, Scafell Pike, and Snowden.) Models are available in appearance as photographed or including elevation data, making excellent commemorative items or science class educational tools.
