Abstract:

This dataset consists of 9 STL-format 3D print files representing a simplified version of the 32-layer 3D Provincial Geological Framework Model of Alberta, Version 1. The zip file also includes a PDF document explaining the model and containing metadata about the printed version. The model exaggeration is 50 times and the actual geospatial representation encompasses an area of approximately 650 km x 1200 km to a depth of 5 km.

In 2017, a high-resolution provincial-scale 32-layer 3D geological model was created in Petrel software as part of AGS' Geological Framework. The 3D Provincial Geological Framework Model of Alberta, Version 1 (3D PGF V1) was published in 2018.

The high-resolutionl model was converted to a simplified 9-layer version. The layers were exported to STL-format files for 3D printing.

Purpose: To provide 3D model based STL-format files that can be downloaded and 3D printed.

Data Quality Information:
Logical Consistency Report: The data contain no null values.
Completeness Report:
The STL-format files of the geological intervals do not represent the full geological interval extents. Due to minimum thickness requirements of the 3D printer, some of the thinnest parts of the geological layers that the STL-format files represent may be absent.

Process Step:
Process Description:

A high-resolution 3D geomodel built in Petrel was simplified from 32 layers to 9 layers.

The layer data were exported from Petrel in STL format and then resized down to a width of 130 mm. Any incomplete objects or non-manifold edges within the STL files were repaired.
