3D print your city

You don't need CAD skills or a GIS background. You need an area you care about and about a minute.

Pick an area

Zoom to wherever you want — your block, downtown, a park you used to run through — and draw a rectangle, circle, or a freehand shape around it. Smaller areas mesh faster and print with more visible detail; a few city blocks usually work better on a desk than an entire metro area.

Set a print size

Slide the print-size control to the long side you want, in millimeters. Everything scales together — building heights, road widths, the terrain underneath — so the model stays proportional at whatever size your printer's bed allows.

Generate

Map2Mesh fetches the buildings, roads, and terrain for your area and builds the geometry right in your browser. Larger areas take longer, because there's more to mesh, but nothing leaves your tab to do it (see how it works).

Export and print

3MF gives you a multicolor file — buildings, roads, water, and terrain each as their own material, ready for a Bambu Lab AMS or similar. STL gives you one body in one color, if that's what your printer needs. Either way, the geometry has already passed a watertightness check, so you're not troubleshooting a broken mesh in your slicer.

Pick your own area and see what it looks like in 3D.
