Initial surface generation was based on a point cloud with a square mesh, and an adopted algorithm for mesh conversion to the input form for the computer aided design (CAD) environment was presented. The use of a bilinear interpolation algorithm was proposed to reduce defects in the three-dimensional surface created in the reverse engineering process. The terrain mapping accuracy analyses were performed for three samples of different geometry using two available options in the Siemens NX program. All obtained surfaces were subjected to shape deviation analysis. For each of the analyzed surfaces, changing the smoothing factor from 0% to 15% did not cause significant changes in accuracy depending on the method adopted. For flat regions, in the Uniform Density (UD) method, the size of the area outside the tolerance was 6.16%, and in the Variable Density (VD) method, it was within the range of 5.01–6%. For steep regions, in the UD method, it was 6.25%, and in the VD method, it was within the range of 5.39–6.47%, while for concave–convex regions, in the UD method, it was 6.5% and in the VD method, it was within the range of 4.96–6.36%. For a smoothing factor value of 20%, a sudden increase in the inaccuracy of the shape of the obtained surface was observed. For flat regions, in the Uniform Density (UD) method, the size of the area outside the tolerance was 69.84%, and in the Variable Density (VD) method, it was 71.62%. For steep regions, in the UD method, it was 76.07%, and in the VD method, it was 80.94%, while for concave–convex regions, in the UD method, it was 56.08%, and in the VD method, it was 62.38%. The developed methodology provided high accuracy in the reproduction of numerical data that can be used for further analyses and manufacturing processes, such as 3D printing. Based on the obtained data, three fused deposition model (FDM) prints were made, presenting each of the analyzed types of terrain geometry. Only FDM printing was used, and other technologies were not verified.
