Restoration of the topographic model of La Gomera, a 30-year legacy renewed
The topographical model of La Gomera, over 30 years old, has been restored to its original splendor. This three-meter-diameter wooden model had suffered structural damage and accumulated dirt over time. The restoration process included repairing the structure, renewing the vegetation, and recreating textures, with particular attention to Garajonay National Park. This cultural artifact has regained its value as a visual symbol and educational tool for the island.
The Canary Archipelago in detail: The first aquatic ecosystem model that represents the topography of the islands
IA Manufacturing has undertaken a groundbreaking project by creating the first-ever aquatic ecosystem model that accurately represents the topography of the Canary Islands archipelago. Using LIDAR technology and 3D modeling, every geological detail has been captured, from volcanic peaks to the deep sea. This model, manufactured using high-precision 3D printing and finished with over 50 liters of epoxy resin to simulate the sea, is now on display at the Juego de Bolas Visitor Center in La Gomera. The work stands out not only for its visual realism but also for its educational value, offering visitors a new perspective on the Canary Islands' natural environment.
