1. ENGO 551 GIS GIS and 3D printing (draft)

2. Outline Concepts – Inverse Geomatics? – What is 3D Printing? – Data visualization Projects: Africa, Coleville, Germany – General Workflow – Study Area, Data Resources – Where is this data from? What does it mean? – Transformation Steps – Results

3. Inverse Geomatics? Undergraduate Geomatics exposes us to many types of data collection http://www.geomatics.ucalgary.ca/files/engo/DGE_Brochure_Folded_All_Programs.pdf http://dprg.geomatics.ucalgary.ca/system/files/AKAM_531_PPT_CH1_s_0.pdf

4. Inverse Geomatics? Indeed, Geomatics can arguably be described as converting the real world into information and manipulating this information http://www.tpub.com/engbas/13-7.htm http://www.geomatics.ucalgary.ca/files/engo/DGE_Brochure_Folded_All_Programs.pdf

5. Inverse Geomatics? We have so many tools for this process, but what if we want to go the other way? What options do we have?

6. Inverse Geomatics Options: Maps Construction??? Lego???? Is that it?

7. What is 3D printing? Basic overview and history Future predictions: copyright, home-owned systems (and parallels to georevolution) Service we use: Shapeways

8. Data Visualization (Short overview of advantages of data visualization, which we thought of as we expanded from pure landscape models) (Show advantages of tables -> graphs, and doctor plotting sickness on map to discover well sickness)

9. General Workflow 1.Acquire Data 2.GIS Work to pare down and work with data 3.Blender Work 4.Upload to Shapeways 5.Order! 6.Get cool stuff!

10. (NOTES) Notes: The project sections can be multiple pages each We should aim to have them be about 2-3 minutes each I’ll fill in what I did with blender and pictures of the 3d program process
