Nystrom, 3D

Quick answer: Nystrom, 3D is a raised-relief geographic model presenting landform or terrain detail in tactile 3D form, used as a physical-geography classroom aid alongside standard maps and textbook material.

Raised-relief 3D models translate elevation and landform shape into a physical object rather than leaving it to contour lines or shading on a flat page. This lets students view — and in many cases touch — how a landscape’s features relate to each other in three dimensions, which is often more memorable than a diagram alone. It is intended for use alongside standard maps in a geography or earth-science classroom, complementing other relief models used to build the same terrain-reading skills.

Specifications

Care & Handling

Keep the model away from direct sunlight and damp conditions to protect painted or printed relief detail. Support the base when carrying rather than lifting by raised features, and dust gently with a soft brush or dry cloth.
