My initial queries took me to a very concise and easy to use web utility that generates STL's from topographical data call Terrain2STL by GitHub user Thatcher Chamberlin. Using this new found information, my quest to develop a workflow for 3D relief maps began. I've previously made a blog post with the same information presented here, but I thought Instructables would be a better platform to present the information. At last years Bay Area Maker Faire I was able to attend an Inventables event where I learned that Fusion360 by Autodesk is a full featured professional 3D CAD and CNC path generator (that uses the amazing HSMworks kernel ) that is 100% free (monetarily, not philosophically) for home users and hobbyists. I desire to have true 3D CNC milling, not just 2.5D. For holiday gifts I wanted to create 3D relief maps of locations of where family members live based of topographical data.
