3d-topography

An in-browser tool to generate 3D-printable models from topography data.

For more information about the tool and how it works, visit the served site.

Note: this tool was put together as a proof of concept. As a result, some shortcuts were taken during development, such as using a simple triangulation algorithm, encoding output STL files in ASCII (rather than binary) and not tree-shaking or bundling dependencies.
