A 3D terrain model — a relief surface built from the global Copernicus GLO-30 DEM (30 m) and saved into a 3D format: STL for 3D printing, GLB/glTF for web and Three.js, OBJ for Blender/3ds Max, PLY for MeshLab. A regular elevation triangulation with a vertical-exaggeration parameter (z-exaggeration 0.1–10) lets you emphasise relief even on flat terrain. Works worldwide, including the high Arctic.
