Custom 3D topographic models
Here at Kākāpō Industries, we specialise in crafting bespoke 3D topographic and bathymetric models for your particular area of interest. Whether that’s a freshwater catchment, property parcel, management unit, or another specific boundary, we can make it happen.
(we also occasionally have ready-made models in our shop)
Why Choose Us?
We combine state-of-the-art tools with expert craftsmanship to deliver exceptional results:
- High-resolution GIS data for precise geographical accuracy.
- LiDAR elevation imagery to capture intricate terrain details.
- Customised modelling to meet your precise requirements.
- Multi-colour 3D printing using eco-friendly, plant-based PLA filament.
We’ve delivered custom models to over 100 satisfied clients, who use them for a diverse range of purposes, including: environmental planning and management, community engagement, educational and scientific visualisation, and of course, displaying as unique and eye-catching artwork!
The Process
- Consultation: We’ll start off by getting you to share your area of interest and requirements with us. We can derive catchment boundaries for anywhere in the country, or you can provide your own shapefiles for custom areas.
- Data Sourcing: Using national datasets or your supplied data, we gather the necessary high-resolution GIS and LiDAR data. Which may include rivers, roads, vegetation and other landcover data.
- Model Design: Our team crafts a bespoke 3D model based on your specifications, and shares renderings for your approval before printing.
- Delivery: Your completed model is carefully packaged in sustainable materials and couriered anywhere in New Zealand.
