Draw an area on the map to see its real-world size and print scale.
Turn any map into a 3D printable model
Map2Model is a free, in-browser tool that turns any city or mountain region into a printable 3D model. Select an area on the map, generate the terrain and buildings, and export a multicolor 3MF or STL, no signup required. The app requests map and elevation data for the selected area; the generated model stays on your device.
Built for 3D printing makers
Any city or mountain on Earth
Pick a region right on the map: a city block, your hometown, or a whole mountain valley.
Real buildings + terrain
Building footprints and heights come from OpenStreetMap; the relief is real elevation from Mapterhorn.
Multicolor 3MF output
Terrain, roads, buildings, water and greenery export as separate colors, or as a single STL.
Designed for slicers
Exports are built to open cleanly in common slicers; inspect the preview before printing complex areas.
100% in your browser
No install, no CAD, no GIS skills. Model assembly and export happen on your device.
Free & no signup
Generate and download instantly. No account, no watermark, no cost.

Frequently asked questions
What does it cost?
Nothing. Generating and downloading models is free, with no account and no watermark.
Which formats can I download?
A multicolor 3MF with separate colored parts, or a single merged STL for any slicer.
Does it handle mountains as well as cities?
Yes. The same workflow produces topographic terrain models from real elevation data.
Do I need CAD or GIS experience?
No. You draw an area on the map, click Generate, and download a print-ready file.
