Government, Scientific
& Open Data
Up to 1 m
Resolution
1 m is USGS 3DEP, where available in the United States. Elsewhere, the finest public data for the place.
We don't flatten your water.
Surveyed
13,900+ lakes
Depth soundings from 20+ government survey agencies, including the USGS, state natural resources departments and Land Information Ontario.
Estimated
147,000+ lakes
Peer-reviewed basin models from GLOBathy, the global lake bathymetry dataset published in Scientific Data.
Every shoreline, lakebed and inland sea, true to shape and labeled, so you always know which you're holding.
The same care for everything else.
Mountains and regions
Elevation from USGS 3DEP at up to 1 m and national datasets worldwide. Real boundaries from OpenStreetMap and Natural Earth.
Ocean
The GEBCO global seafloor grid from the Seabed 2030 project, the standard map of the ocean floor.
Space
NASA mission data from LRO, Mars Global Surveyor, MESSENGER, Dawn, New Horizons, Magellan, Cassini and Galileo, with official IAU feature names.
Made for your machine
One place, three ways to make it.
3D printing
STL, 3MF and OBJ, sized to your bed, with frames and embossed names.
CNC
Carve-ready relief for wood and stone, from the same real data.
Laser
Stacked sheets of a real lakebed or landscape, one cut per level, as SVG and DXF.
Sources
Nothing hidden beneath the surface.

Lake depths come from surveys wherever they exist. Every lake shows its label before you generate: Surveyed, from a public agency's own soundings, or Estimated, modeled from global data. Every download names the sources it was built from.

Our Craft
Precision at Every Elevation
A printed lithophane of the Matterhorn, held up and lit from behind
New: Vista lithophanes
Pick a mountain, frame the view, light it up. $5.
Alticarta model of Iceland seen from above, the island's whole coastline in relief
The Real Boundary, Not a Box
Type "Iceland" and receive Iceland's precise shape. Every coastline faithfully rendered. No rectangles.
Alticarta hex tile of Mount Vesuvius, its crater at the centre
Mountains & Features
Individual summits, volcanoes, and dramatic geological features. Mt. Fuji, El Capitan, Vesuvius. A permanent record of the terrain you love, or the peak you've yet to climb.
Alticarta hex tile of Mount St. Helens, built from USGS 3DEP elevation data
High-Resolution Elevation Data
Built from USGS 3DEP lidar across the U.S. and the finest public elevation data elsewhere, sampled to suit your model's size.
CNC & Print Ready
Ready for Bambu Studio, PrusaSlicer, VCarve and other CAM software.
Alticarta hex tile of Taranaki Maunga with contour lines carved around the cone
Contour Lines
Contour lines carved into the surface of mountain models. The classic topographic look, in physical form.
Alticarta model of Skeleton Lake, Ontario, its surveyed lakebed stepped by depth
Real Lakebeds
Surveyed depths from public agencies, carved beneath the exact shoreline. Where no survey exists, the lake is modeled from global data and labeled Estimated.
Alticarta model of Prince Edward Island in a one-piece frame, the name raised on the border
Frames and Embossing
A frame that prints with the model or as a separate plate, with the place name, your own words or its coordinates raised on it, and a keyhole pocket for hanging if you want one.
The two objects of a two-piece Alticarta 3MF: Prince Edward Island and its frame plate
STL, 3MF and OBJ
STL for any slicer, 3MF for Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer and PrusaSlicer with a two-piece frame as two objects, OBJ for CAM and rendering. Every download carries its license and data credits.

The tool I needed

"I started making to clear my head, and it became the thing that does. Somewhere in there it pointed me at maps.

I spent my summers growing up camping and on canoe trips, and I've been lucky enough since to stand in places most people only see in films. Mountains, coastlines, deserts, the kind of country that stays with you. I'm a husband and a dad now. I still get outdoors every chance I have, on the bike or with the family, but I don't get to the far-off places the way I used to. A relief map brings them back. Not a flat picture of a place. The place itself, shrunk down to something you can hold, right down to the bottom of the lake you used to paddle. That's why Alticarta builds real topography from real elevation data, not from a trace or an image.

I spent years overpaying for STL files that never matched what I was after, paying first and finding out after. Eventually I got tired enough to build the tool I wished existed. And because I know what it's like to buy blind, you see exactly what you're getting, free, before you pay a cent."
