The milling process
• Mechanical milling controlled by a DTM
13
The 3D printing process
• Colour printing of a 2D georeferenced map on a 3D map surface, controlled by a DTM
Printing process patented by Solid Terrain Modeling Inc.

What is required?
• A DTM/DSM with enough resolution to mill the 3d solid terrain model at the required scale
16
What is required?
• A georeferenced map which will be printed on the 3D solid terrain model
17
The result is...
• A product that offers consensual reading, with which people will have an immediate perception of relief, orientation, slope and visibility
