About Cape Canaveral, Florida
Cape Canaveral (Spanish: Cabo Cañaveral) is a cape in Brevard County, Florida, in the United States, near the center of the state's Atlantic coast. Officially Cape Kennedy from 1963 to 1973, Cape Canaveral is situated east of Merritt Island, and is separated from it by the Banana River. It is considered part of what is known as the Space Coast, and is the site of the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. Since many U.S. spacecraft have been launched from both the station and the Kennedy Space Center on adjacent Merritt Island, the two are sometimes conflated. Other features of Cape Canaveral include Port Canaveral (one of the busiest cruise ports in the world) and the Cape Canaveral Lighthouse. The city of Cape Canaveral lies just south of the Port Canaveral District.

Questions about Cape Canaveral, Florida
Where is Cape Canaveral?
Cape Canaveral is in Florida, USA at 28.4889, -80.5778. The model covers a 10 by 10 kilometer square around that point.
How high is the terrain in the Cape Canaveral model?
The land in this model runs from 0 to 9 m (9 m of relief). These are the measured heights, printed 5 times taller so the shape is easy to see.
Can I 3D print Cape Canaveral?
Yes. Download the free Standard resolution STL and print it on any FDM or resin printer. It is 150 mm wide and about 5.7 mm tall, on a solid 5 mm base, at a scale of about 1:66,700. It also works for CNC carving. Use Customize to change the width, base thickness or height exaggeration, make it round or add a name plate.
How accurate is the Cape Canaveral model?
It is built from real elevation measurements, not an artist's guess: the USGS 3D Elevation Program, mostly airborne laser scans at 1 to 10 meters per point. The shaded picture on this page is made from the same data.
Is the Cape Canaveral model free?
The Standard resolution model is free as STL, 3MF, Colored 3MF, OBJ and a 16-bit heightmap. High resolution samples the place about ten times more finely and is a paid upgrade.
What is a Cape Canaveral terrain model good for?
People use it as a desk piece, an engineering classroom model or a gift for someone who works there.
About this terrain model
Embossify Terra builds Cape Canaveral, Florida from real measured elevation, not an artist's guess. In the United States the heights come from the USGS 3D Elevation Program, mostly airborne laser scans that resolve every 1 to 10 meters.
The model covers a 10 by 10 kilometer square centered on 28.4889, -80.5778. It prints 150 mm (5.9 in) wide on a solid base, a scale of about 1:66,700. The heights are exaggerated 5× so the shape is easy to see and feel; you can change that when you customize the model. The sea is flattened to zero, so land stands on a clean base.
