| description | Purpose
The GIS data available for a terrain is the data of its surface. It doesn’t have information for a solid model. The data needs to be converted into a 3D solid model for making physical models by Additive Manufacturing (AM). This work aims to convert surface data directly to a 3D STL part.
Design/methodology/approach
A methodology has been developed to make the wall and base of the part and tessellates the part with triangles. A program has been written which gives output of the part in STL (STereoLithography) file format. The elevation data is interpolated and any singularity present is removed. Extensive search techniques are used.
Findings
AM technologies are increasingly being used for terrain modelling. However, there is not enough work done to convert the surface data into 3D solid model. The present work aids in this area.
Practical implications
The methodology removes data loss associated with intermediate file formats. Terrain models can be created in less time and less cost. Intricate geometries of terrain can be created with ease and great accuracy.
Originality/value
The work allows direct and automated conversion of GIS surface data into a 3D STL part. It removes intermediate steps and any data loss associated with intermediate file formats. |
