Do you have any plans to create 3d modeled maps that are printed on top of 3d printed plastics or sands? I am in the imagery business and have so many people ask for this, I've pondered what it would take many times.
I have been using GIS data to create 3d carvings out of wood with CNC machines. We've been having tons of fun iterating and learning. We started selling a few here and there and have been trying to optimize our workflow to be able to create a map for any location we can find data for in a reasonable amount of time.
It's a question we often get, but not a product we're looking to pursue. I think it would be prohibitively expensive to do it right and I'm not confident there's a big enough market for it.

Thank you!

I could be dead wrong about this, of course.
