About Corsica, France
Corsica is an island in the Mediterranean Sea and one of the 18 regions of France. It is the fourth-largest island in the Mediterranean and lies southeast of the French mainland, west of the Italian Peninsula and immediately north of the Italian island of Sardinia, the nearest land mass. A single chain of mountains makes up two-thirds of the island. As of January 2026, it had a population of 365,636. The island is a territorial collectivity of France, and is expected to achieve "a form of autonomy" within France in the future. The regional capital is Ajaccio.

Questions about Corsica, France
Where is Corsica?
Corsica is in France at 42.0396, 9.0129. The model covers a 50 by 50 kilometer square around that point.
How high is the terrain in the Corsica model?
The land in this model runs from 0 to 2,517 m (2,517 m of relief). These are the measured heights, printed 1.5 times taller so the shape is easy to see.
Can I 3D print Corsica?
Yes. Download the free Standard resolution STL and print it on any FDM or resin printer. It is 150 mm wide and about 16.3 mm tall, on a solid 5 mm base, at a scale of about 1:333,300. 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 Corsica model?
It is built from real elevation measurements, not an artist's guess: open satellite and survey data (NASA SRTM, Copernicus and national surveys), about 30 meters per point. The shaded picture on this page is made from the same data.
Is the Corsica 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 Corsica terrain model good for?
People use it as a souvenir of a vacation, a gift or a map you can feel.
About this terrain model
Embossify Terra builds Corsica, France from real measured elevation, not an artist's guess. Outside the United States the heights come from open satellite and survey data (NASA SRTM, Copernicus and national surveys), about 30 meters per point.
The model covers a 50 by 50 kilometer square centered on 42.0396, 9.0129. It prints 150 mm (5.9 in) wide on a solid base, a scale of about 1:333,300. The heights are exaggerated 1.5× 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.
