Relief Map Help
Hi, I'm completely new to 3D printing and want to explore this technology as it may help my goal of creating relief maps. I want to create very detailed relief maps of local mountains so that hikers, climbers, back country skiers can see exactly what the terrain of a particular mountain is like before going on an expedition. All the existing products I've been able to find seem to have very low 'relief'... ie. 2-4 inches of depth. I'd like to see much greater exaggeration of elevation and an detailed map overlay on the model (vacuum thermoforming printed terrain sounds interesting). I imagine the footprint of the finished piece should be 2ft x 3ft minimum... possibly to lay flat under glass (not necessarily hung on a wall). The key is that it can be used for route planning, more than just something cool to look at.
Again, I know very little about 3D printing and the possibilities it provides in relation to the goal. Any information on the subject from those in the know is appreciated!
Cheers.
Please explain to me how to...
