Indianapolis 3D Cityscape | 9"x9"

Made to order - Ships in 1 week!

Bring the city of Indianapolis to your home in true 3D! These make the perfect home decor piece or gift for any fan of the city. The model is about 7.5" square and 1" tall. The outer dimension of the frame is 9". All components are 3D printed using sustainable materials.

◆ GIFTING: These make excellent gifts for holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, house warmings, or any special occasion.

◆ DISPLAY: The model comes in a frame so that it can be hung on the wall, laid flat on a table, or propped up on a shelf. Hanging hardware is included. These look best when they are lit from the side. Display near a window, lamp or downlight to make the 3D features pop.

◆ MATERIALS: Our models are made of a durable plant-based material derived from corn and sugarcane. The model material has a matte white finish that enhances highlights and shadows. We use sustainable, premium grade materials made in the USA with no additives, waxes, or fillers for the best finish and durability.

◆ DESIGN: Our models are designed using 3D sculpting tools from the latest geospatial imaging data. The deign process for each piece is unique. We begin by harnessing available data from map archives, extracting detailed layouts of the streets, waterways, greenery, building footprints, and topography. We then merge in 3D data and refine the architecture block by block, using digital sculpting tools and satellite imagery. Finally, we process the model into instructions for our 3D printers to replicate. Each digital model takes several days to develop.

◆ CREATION: We operate our professional grade 3D printers in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. We carefully maintain and calibrate our equipment to ensure quality. Each section is built from the bottom up, layer by layer. Large pieces take as long as a week to print with hundreds of stacked layers as thin as paper.

══ More Details ══

We design each piece meticulously in reference to modern satellite imagery and manual processing steps to make each piece distinct, unique and characteristic of the locaiton you know & love. Each piece is carefully packaged and arrives ready to display.

══ Notes & Precautions ══

◆ The high level of detail in these pieces lends to a slow production process. We typically ship within 1-2 weeks of purchase, but timing may vary depending on our order backlog. We will keep you informed in the unlikely event of a shipping delay.

◆ With any 3D printing process, a small degree of variation and minor imperfections can be expected.

◆ The model may contain fragile building features. Please use care when unpacking and handling.

◆ To ensure the longevity of your model, please keep it away from extreme sources of heat in excess of 100°F to avoid warping of the 3D printed sections.

No affiliation with any university. Geo-spatial data is from OpenStreetMaps and LiDAR sources, and satellite imagery from Google Earth is referenced in the model development process.
