Cardona in 3D: a landscape you can hold in your hands

Some places are instantly recognisable. From the outline of a mountain, the streets we know by heart or a building on the skyline.

The same silhouette, two scales.

Cardona is a good example. Its castle, rising above the town, has an unmistakable silhouette. This landscape is part of everyday life for many people, and part of the memories of those who have visited.

But what would it be like to see it from a different perspective?

From a real landscape to 3D relief

At Makezings, we turn real places into physical, 3D-printed pieces.

We use geographical data to reconstruct the terrain and represent features such as streets, buildings, paths and vegetation.

The result is neither a photograph nor a conventional map. It is a piece you can pick up, look at from different angles and explore with your hands.

In Cardona, the castle makes a particularly interesting landmark. Its elevated position makes the landscape recognisable even in a small model.

The same silhouette, two scales

During one of our tests, we went to Cardona with a 3D-printed model to compare it with the real landscape.

By holding the piece in front of the castle, we could compare their outlines.

The photograph shows the same place at two scales: the real castle in the background, and its landscape recreated in 3D in the foreground.

It is a simple way to understand what we aim to do at Makezings: preserve the shape of places that mean something special to us.

Every place has a story

It might be your grandparents’ village, the neighbourhood where you grew up, the setting for an unforgettable holiday or the landscape of a walk you remember fondly.

It does not have to be a famous place.

What makes a piece special is your connection to the place it represents.

Choose your place

With Makezings, you can find a place on the map, adjust the selection, explore it in 3D and choose the finish you like best.

We offer different finishes, each with its own way of representing the landscape.

Once you have placed your order, we make the piece, check it and send it to your home.

The places you love, brought to life in 3D.

Choose your place and discover it from a different perspective.
