This project showcases how a regional 3D printed population model was developed using GIS technologies for the Hyperloop One Global Challenge. The model, created by Jason Kaper, a GIS Specialist from the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission, and Matt Organiscak, Vice President of IC3D Industries, was presented at the Ohio GIS Conference in September 2017. The proposal aimed to demonstrate the feasibility of utilizing 3D printing technology to represent population data in a unique and innovative way. The process involved converting population data into a three-dimensional format, which was then exported for printing using specific software and techniques. The presentation covered the entire process from data collection to the final 3D print output, offering insights into the potential applications of this method for urban planning and transportation projects.

ArcMap (3D Analyst) Raster to TIN SEDAC raster Z Tolerance: The maximum allowable difference between the height of the input raster and the height of the output TIN. Population values are carried over from the raster.
ArcMap (3D Analyst) Edit TIN Triangulated Irregular Network SF Type: Polygon surface types have Hard and Soft qualifiers that indicate whether the features represent smooth or sharp discontinuities in slope along the surface. This tool does not produce an output separate from the input TIN. This will (as the name implies) edit the TIN!
