Potomac Photonics, an industry leader in micro Digital Fabrication including 3D Printing, has 3D printed a tiny map of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County [UMBC] Campus at 1/4,000 of its original full scale. Potomac used a model generated by aerial robotic photography for the digital source of the 3D printing data. A high resolution ProJet 3D printer manufactured by 3D Systems had fine enough resolution to 3D Print a miniaturized representation of the UMBC campus from the map. This cool project that combines robotics, 3D modeling, and 3D Printing is part of our Education Manufacturing Initiative, whereby we donate or discount digital fabrication services including 3D Printing, laser and CNC micromachining, and other technologies to researchers, faculty and students at universities who need manufacturing assistance.
