Workflow

Three steps to a physical model

01

Select area

Draw a rectangle on the interactive map to define the terrain you want to capture.

02

Generate mesh

Elevation data is fetched from Kartverket and converted into a watertight 3D mesh in seconds.

03

Export & print

Download your model as STL, 3MF, OBJ, or CSV. Ready for slicing and 3D printing.

Features

Everything you need, nothing you don't

Data

High-resolution elevation data

Source data from Kartverket's national height model (DTM), with coverage of all of Norway at up to 1m resolution.

Preview

Real-time 3D preview

Inspect your terrain model from every angle in the built-in Three.js viewer before exporting.

Export

Multiple export formats

STL and 3MF for 3D printing. OBJ for rendering. CSV point clouds for GIS and architecture workflows.

Print-ready

Watertight meshes

Generated models include walls and a base plate — ready for slicing without additional repair.

Control

Configurable parameters

Control resolution, vertical exaggeration, base height, and model dimensions to match your printer.

Precision

Polygon masking

Load GeoJSON boundaries to mask the terrain to municipal borders, national parks, or custom shapes.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What file formats can I export?

You can export as STL, 3MF, OBJ, and CSV point clouds. STL and 3MF are ready for 3D printing without further processing.

What is the resolution of the elevation data?

Kartverket's national height model (DTM) covers all of Norway at up to 1 meter resolution. You can choose between 1m, 2m, 5m, and 10m.

Do I need an account?

No, you can generate and download models without an account. Create one to save your models and view history.

Can I use the models for architecture projects?

Absolutely. Export as OBJ for rendering in Blender, SketchUp, or similar. CSV point clouds work well in GIS software.

What does 'watertight' mesh mean?

The models include side walls and a base plate, making them fully enclosed and ready for slicing without repair.
