Live preview from elevation data

3D maps ofthe places you know.

A favourite hike, the family property, the mountain you grew up under. We print its real terrain as a solid object, up to 500 mm across.

Reading the ground: measured heights

The track you finished. The ridge you climbed. The paddocks you grew up in. We take the ground itself and print it, layer by layer, at true scale, into an object you can hold.

How it works

From the place
to the object.

You choose and frame the place. We do the rest, and nothing is printed until you approve a proof.

  1. 01

    You frame the place

    Search a name or paste coordinates, set the area, size and finish.

  2. 02

    We read the ground

    Public elevation data for exactly that area: tens of thousands of measured heights.

  3. 03

    You approve a proof

    Views of the crop, the height and the finish, with a price. Change anything first.

  4. 04

    We print and send it

    Layer by layer, finished and checked by hand, then packed to travel.

Two ways to
read the ground.

The same Cradle Mountain tile, from real elevation data. Drag across it to compare. Water prints flat and smooth: blue on topographic, the body colour on monochrome.

Cradle Mountain in the topographic finish: ivory with copper contour lines and blue lakes The same map in the monochrome ivory finish Topographic Monochrome Preview from elevation data

Topographic

Contour lines printed in a second colour, closer together or further apart as you like. A walking map you can hold.

Monochrome

One colour. Light across the surface does the work, so it sits quietly in a room.

Your route or your boundary

Add a run, ride or walk from Strava, a GPX or drawn on the map: it is cut in as a channel and printed in its own colour. Or add a property line, found from the address and cut as a dashed groove.

Configurator

Design your map.

Find the place, frame it, add a route or a boundary, and choose the size and finish. The price updates as you go, and you can order straight away.

Route from Strava

Upload your Strava run

  1. 1
    Open the run on strava.com. Use a web browser and sign in; the Strava phone app cannot export files.
  2. 2
    Export it as GPX. On the activity page, press the ⋯ button on the left, then Export GPX. A .gpx file downloads.
  3. 3
    Upload the file here. We frame the map around your run and cut it in as a channel. The route prints separately in your colour and presses in.

On a phone, open strava.com in Safari or Chrome and switch to the desktop site. Shortcut: add /export_gpx to the end of the activity's web address. Planned routes work the same way: open the route, then Export GPX.

Questions

Before you order.

Prices, delivery times and turnaround are set per quote while we confirm our figures.

What affects the price
  • 01
    Size. Material and print time grow with the area of the tile.
  • 02
    Tiles. A 400 mm map is four prints and a 500 mm map nine, keyed and finished.
  • 03
    Extras. A route prints as its own piece; a boundary is cut and can be hand-painted.
  • 04
    Height. Tall, steep terrain uses more material than flat ground.
  • 05
    Delivery. Distance and packaging for the size you choose.
How does it work?

You frame a place here and send a request. We reply with a price and a proof showing your crop, height and finish. Once you approve it, we print, assemble, check and send it.

What comes with a map?

The map (joined tiles at 400 and 500 mm) on its solid base, with the place name and coordinates on a card. Mounting and display options are confirmed with your quote.

Where does the terrain come from?

Public elevation data. The preview shows how much detail exists for your area; very small areas can look soft, and we tell you in the proof if that is the case.

What happens after I request a quote?

We check the area, prepare the model and email you a price with proof views. You can change the crop, size or finish before approving. Nothing is charged until then.

What is it made of, and where can it go?

Matte PLA, printed in layers. It’s made for indoors: keep it out of direct sunlight and away from heat, such as a sunny windowsill or a hot car, where it can soften or fade. Dust it with a soft dry brush. For an outdoor or sun-facing spot, ask us about a weatherproof print.

Will you share my property’s location?

No. Locations you send stay between you and the studio and are used only to make your map. We never show a customer’s map publicly without written permission. Read our Privacy Policy.
