Map Conversion Options for 3D Printing of Terrain Using Graphics API

Original language description

Last decade has seen a significant progress in the field of 3D printing. One of the possible usages is for cartographic and land management area which is very important in regard to current draught problems. For the purpose of planning, it is necessary to visualize the terrain. The objective of the paper is to investigate and verify options for transforming map data into a format usable for 3D printing using the new Vulkan graphics API. We have developed an experimental application which transforms a specified area of the Earths surface into 3D model. It takes the testing map data from Bing Maps. Altitude is taken from Bing Elevation API. The results show that the Vulkan graphics API is possible to be used for transformation of map data to a 3D model. After that, the model can be programmatically closed and converted to STL format. The STL file can be sliced using appropriate software and printed on a 3D printer.
