Color 3D Printer Output Example: 3D Disaster Hazard Map

Joint development with a major map manufacturer! Also serves as a mental map for people with visual impairments.

We will introduce an example of outputting a "3D Disaster Hazard Map" using a "Color 3D Printer." When looking at disaster prevention and disaster maps in a flat format, it is easy to identify locations, but how those locations are structured in three dimensions is not clear to anyone other than experts. In this case, we created a three-dimensional disaster prevention map as one method to raise disaster awareness. By overlaying disaster prevention and disaster information maps on a three-dimensional map output from a 3D printer based on 3D data, it became easy to specifically confirm disaster information, such as the degree of slope of cliffs and the extent of the area. [Case Study] ■ Issue - In flat maps, it is not clear how the location is structured in three dimensions to anyone other than experts. ■ Solution - Created a three-dimensional disaster prevention map as one method to raise disaster awareness. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
