French startup Terra3D's PrinTerra software is a plug-in for Schlumberger's Petrel that provides connectivity to a 3D printer. Geological and reservoir models can be printed as 'full colour' solid 3D representations. Terra3D claims that handling the 3D models provides insights and understanding into field geometries and helps communicate complex geology. The PrinTerra interface allows for sizing and selection of 3D Petrel models which can feature any grid property such as facies, porosity, or fluid content.
