PrintPal Real-World 3D Map Generator

About this generator

PrintPal is better known for AI model generation, but its Real-World 3D Map Generator is a data driven tool with no AI guessing. You draw a region on a live map and it builds true scale terrain from open elevation tiles plus real building footprints from OpenStreetMap.

Areas can be up to about 4 km across with buildings or up to 50 km for terrain only. You set the longest side in millimeters, base thickness and vertical scale, choose whether to include buildings and how tall they are, and style roads, footpaths, water and parks. Export is either a multicolor 3MF with terrain, buildings, roads and water assigned to separate filament slots, or a single STL, with an option to split terrain and buildings into separate files.

Browsing the map is free, but generating and downloading needs a paid PrintPal subscription. It suits people already paying for PrintPal or who want AMS-ready city maps without extra setup.

What you can make

• City maps with buildings
• Terrain relief maps
• Multicolor AMS map prints
• Campus and neighborhood models
