A new (currently, beta) service from Stephan Heuel, https://topoprint.ch offers an innovative way to interact with Switzerland’s topography. By combining high-resolution Swisstopo datasets with 3D printing technology, users can create detailed, tangible models – Topodiscs – of any location in Switzerland.
Topodiscs are compact, 3D-printable models that represent terrain, buildings, and infrastructure within a defined radius. Users can choose locations by address or CH1903+ LV95 / EPSG:2056 coordinates through either Mastodon or Telegram and receive an STL file for 3D printing (adding a 3D-print-on-demand service is on the roadmap).
