Scott Kildall made excellent tutorial where he described in detail how you can make "data crystal" 3d printable objects to visualize or present large data sets. Data sets can be anything, he used data sets from OpenData. |
This data crystal represents incidents of crime data from San Francisco Over 35,000 data points from 3 month period. Worse crimes (e.g. kidnapping) are represented by larger cubes and less severe crimes (e.g. possession of drugs) are smaller cubes. |

Here is video of algorithmic data clustering to produce the model:
Here are more visualization projects where 3d printing is used to present 3d objects from data:
