3D City Models for Students & Universities

AccuCities has a proud tradition of supporting research, students & universities with our digital 3D city models. Non-commercial entities and projects can take advantage of our free 3D city models samples, get up to 80% discount on small and medium-size library 3D models and/or work with us on a partnership base.

In the last few months alone, our samples have been downloaded by hundreds of students from studying at the King’s College London, University of Brighton, University of Dundee, Newcastle University, University of Glasgow, University College London, London Metropolitan University, Cardiff University, The University of Sheffield, University of Nottingham, Tsinghua University Beijing, Carnegie Mellon University, University of Missouri and The Ohio State University. Wow.

One of the great case studies of how students can take advantage of our published 3D City models samples is this Year 3 BIM & Design project by Samuel Francis, an Undergraduate Engineer at Pell Frischmann, working on a project at LSBU Apprenticeships.

His team was tasked with strategically and creatively maximising public space in the Pool of London, helping to preserve parts of the existing site but also attracting people and new investment to the area. During the project, they have designed two new structures that have a primary focus on using low-carbon materials, green roofs and innovative engineering solutions to provide value.

The team have used AccuCities 3D model of London sample to position their design into the real-world model of their site.

“AccuCities supported our University project by providing an existing 3D CAD model of the Pool of London.” says Samuel. “Their models are of excellent quality and easy to manipulate to ones need. I would highly recommend AccuCities to others looking to enhance and add extra context to their work.”

LSBU Apprenticeships have been working with employers since 1892 to meet their training and educational needs. Today, they have over 3000 apprentices from over 600 businesses.

AccuCities 3D city models have been used in a number of research and development applications. From 3D London and 3D Dublin in Virtual Field Trips through developing Searchable 3D smart city model to using City CAD Models for Holicity Machine Learning.

Our free samples include a 1 square kilometer tile TQ3280 (Ordnance Survey Coordinate System) 3D London Samples. You can download both textured and non-textured versions in a variety of formats and levels of detail. Sample 3D London map download

Samples of 3D Bristol, 3D Cardiff and 3D Dublin are also available.
