Laser Cut Wisconsin Map

A laser cut topographic map of Wisconsin using HDF board with 3D legend

This is a fun experimental project I did in spring 2025, where I generalize the contour lines in ArcGIS Pro, and laser cut a 3D topographic map of Wisconsin using HDF board. The map is designed to be a decorative or educational piece, showcasing the generalized topography of the state in a unique and artistic way.

Special thanks to the guidance by Caroline Rose at the UW-Madison Design Innovation Lab Makerspace.
