3D scanning and printing technology lead the way for artistic applications as well as scientific and medical ones. Preferred by many firms for architectural and industrial design, 3D technology’s latest design is Sweden’s great Kebnekaise mountain’s replica. This model is actualized by Mcor Technologies printer.
Kebnekaise is the highest mountain in Sweden. The Kebnekaise massif, which is part of the Scandinavian Mountains, has two peaks, of which the southern, glaciated one is highest at 2,097.5 metres above sea level. Imagine being able to capture this massive mountain in all its glory in 3D… Well, Carl Schillander, Mcor’s Swedish reseller, did just that! He was able to replicate Kebnekaise, our July Model of the Month, in grand scale and this has really impressed at a recent GIS conference in Sweden called “Kartdagarna”.
The model is a scale replica of the Kebnekaise massif, which is part of the Scandinavian Mountains. It’s the result of a geographic information system (GIS) project by Carl Schillander, a Swedish reseller for Mcor 3D printers.
The model shows off perfectly the mountain’s two peaks, of which the southern, glaciated one is highest at 2,097.5 metres above sea level. Schillander’s replica of the Kebnekaise was presented at a recent GIS conference in Sweden called Kartdagarna (Swedish Map Days), where the gathered attendees were suitably impressed. Here’s a picture of the real Kebnekaise for comparison.
