Generate 3D print files from .tif files

Topogmesh: 3D printing the planet

Overview

Topogmesh generates .3mf files suitable for 3D printing from terrain .tif files. It can also use .geojson files to define custom areas of terrain to include in the model.

Installation

Topogmesh is available on PyPI and can be installed with pip:

pip install topogmesh

How to use

You will need terrain .tif files for the region you want to model and a .geojson file to define the area to convert into a 3D printable mesh.

The example below shows generating a 3D model of Mount Everest:

import topogmesh

everest_mesh = topogmesh.mesh_from_shape_file(
    shp_path='everest.geojson',
    tif_paths=['N27E086.tif', 'N28E086.tif', 'N29E086.tif'],
    base_height=5,
    scale=0.1
)

topogmesh.export_mesh_to_3mf(everest_mesh, 'everest.3mf')
