#2Printing it in a stereo lithography machine (think FormLABS) would get you the details you wanted. That said, from the photo it looks very nice on the wall.

#3Really awesome project @andrewgodwin! I'd love to do something like this for Pittsburgh as well!

#4How about printing a landscape from a map/contour lines? Do you think it is possible for example from OSM data?
(That London looks totally cool.)

#5That is a really nice project. Having lived in London, and having a 3D printer I am very tempted.

As long as you can convert the data into a height field it's possible. I reckon you could do contours with interpolation.

In college my group used topo maps and a laser cutter to construct a map of Colorado. The burned edges had a really nice effect http://www.instructables.com/id/TwitMap-Topographical-Colora...

OSM is just vectors, there aren't a lot of limits on what the data can be used for.
This was recently posted to /r/openstreetmap:
I really don't have a sense of how useful such a map would be, but it's exactly a 3d extrusion of OSM data.

#9Very interesting project and glad to see the documentation and results! Had me thinking this might be a fun long-term art project, where a city like this could be given color details by hand using various inks and/or paints. Just a thought inspired by the clever undertaking seen here.

What are the available data sets for Pgh?
