what is mapscad fr?

Mapscad is a tool you use directly in your web browser to turn a real place on a map into a physical object you can 3D print. You pick an area on the map, and the tool pulls in the shape of the land, along with features from OpenStreetMap such as streets, paths, buildings, and bodies of water, and combines them into a solid three dimensional model of that region. Once the model is generated, you can shape it further before printing. The README mentions options to exaggerate the height of hills and terrain so small elevation changes are easier to see, add a socket or base so the print can sit or connect to something else, split a large area into tiles so it can be printed in sections, and separate different features, such as buildings versus water, into their own colored objects. When you are happy with the result, you export it as an STL or 3MF file, both common formats that 3D printing software and printers can read directly. The project has a live version hosted online that you can try without installing anything, linked directly from the README. Beyond that, the README itself is quite brief and does not go into detail about the underlying code, how to run the project locally, or what technical setup is involved, so anyone wanting to build or modify it themselves would need to look at the source code directly. No license is stated in the README, so it is not clear what rights are granted for reuse or modification.
