RE: World Globe as STLs

Paul,

I recently visited a tooling company that had produced the tools for a globe
which consisted of the different oceans and continents that joined together
as an educational tool. I know the development work involved
stereolithography models so the stl files must exist somewhere.
If you contact them (Mr Jung Doe, vina.tooling@virgin.net) they may be able
to point you in the right direction.

Paul,
I did see a LOM model of the globe 2 years ago at Tsinghua University,
Beijing, China. The person in charge is Professor Yan.

Dear list,

we are looking for STL files of the globe. Ideally it would consist of
2 separate STL Files, one representing the oceans and one representating
the continents with a uniform thickness of 2 - 3 mm. The diameter of the
globe should be about 150 mm. Does anybody know whether this has been
modelled somewhere ?

Thanks in advance for any response or suggestions

P. Bernhard
Director
