Applications for Three Dimensional Topography Models

3D topography models or maps are still quite useful today. Some may think that because things like HD screens and 3D modeling are available to us today, we don’t need things like 3D maps. However, these physical maps are still used in a variety of ways by different industries. They are useful, for example, for educational purposes. Many museums and educational institutions still want to use these 3D models for their exhibits or for classrooms. Most museums and exhibits want several things displayed, not just flat screens or pictures, as these are boring. 3D models add texture and create interesting displays.


Believe it or not, 3D topography maps and models can also be used in litigation. Some lawyers who are fighting court cases use these models to help jurors and judges visualize a scenario. It not only shows that they are knowledgeable, but they can help viewers feel at ease and understand abstract concepts better. Another industry that uses these models is mining. Mining is a difficult task and can be expensive, especially if the company makes a lot of mistakes.

A topographical model or a scale cross-section model can help engineers and workers visualize the places they work with to help make operations smoother and less hassle.

How to Make 3D Map

Making a 3D map is a valuable ability that many experts such as scientists, surveyors, military officers and engineers can use to support them do their jobs well. It will certainly help them obtain a good job, but can be helpful in a variety of applications.



There are many applications available in the market or online these days that can support you make 3D maps in just a few minutes. You can find software online that gives useful features such as mapping, terrain modeling and land development. The software is versatile and matched by its capability to give functions for site grading, coordinate geometry, report, generation, design and many more.

Uses of 3D Maps

A popular device for navigating the world in a virtual space is a Google Earth. This program offers a lot of features to educate and entertain the user on the geography including landscapes of urban and remote areas. This is a free program and an entertaining way for you to collaborate with the globe. 3D maps are programs, designed for 3d viewing and shows most feature on a 3D map.

 However, you can improve your 3D experience by making some customization. On the other hand, making three dimensional maps in the classrooms allows students in a prospective way and can help them understand lessons about the geography or help students build a conceptual bound, from the opportunity to alter abstract representations of a particular area using a 3D model.


Nevertheless, you can create your own 3D map. For instance, you can create a paper Mache, an inexpensive material that teachers or students can use to make 3D maps. This is particularly good for displaying the rough figure of geographic features including flood plains and volcanoes. Maps created from foam craft can also help students create the mental alteration from topographic maps to 3D landscapes. But if you do not have enough time, you can download it on the internet.
