The complete pack

Three deliverables.
One seamless experience.

Each project combines physical 3D terrain models with printed 2D maps and an interactive web platform — three tools designed to work together in the classroom.

01

Interactive Map

IGN topographic and satellite layers, live weather integration, and KML footprint — all in a Leaflet-powered map calibrated to your exact site.

02

3D Terrain Model

Printed from real LIDAR elevation data at true scale — no vertical exaggeration. 250 × 250 mm, 0.2 mm layer resolution, ready for classroom use.

03

Dedicated Website

A standalone page per site with coordinates, 3D viewer, map tabs and Google Earth link — hosted and ready to share with students via QR code.

Process

From raw data
to classroom.

A fully integrated production chain — from satellite data to physical model to interactive web page.

STEP 01

Site selection

We identify the sites that match your curriculum — Alpine peaks, Pyrenean cirques, volcanic summits, or any terrain worldwide.

STEP 02

LIDAR processing

Raw elevation data from national or international sources is processed in QGIS and demo3d, with Lambert-93 to WGS84 coordinate conversion.

STEP 03

3D print & web build

The terrain model is printed at true scale. In parallel, the interactive website is built with maps, 3D viewer, and weather integration.

STEP 04

Delivery

You receive the physical models, the STL files, the deployed website, and bilingual IGN maps — everything ready for the classroom.

Pricing

Each option includes custom sites selected for your curriculum. All prices on request — every project is unique.
