3D Earthquakes at Durham University
22 June 2009

Inition’s 3D scanning and printing division ThingLab have been working with Earth Scientists at Durham University to enable the production of 3D geologic formations. Detailed maps have been used to produce a 3D model of the surface ruptures related to the cataclysmic earthquake that devastated the Italian Apennine region.
The mapping project, part of the wider earthquake relief-effort in the UK and internationally, is using the ZPrinter 650 to create colour 3D representations of the regional geology. The results of the project will, it’s hoped, help to improve the understanding of quakes, their timing and likely magnitude. Thinglab managed the installation and training, and provided after-sales technical support.
