Field notes
The workflow combines real elevation data with OpenStreetMap layers, allowing users to build terrain alongside buildings, roads, water, forests, or raised routes. The site says models are checked as watertight solids and that thin features can be thickened for a 0.4 mm nozzle. Outputs cover both printing and downstream tools, including multicolour 3MF files, web-viewer GLB files, and CAD-oriented DXF layers.
