Questions about Isabela, Galapagos
Where is Isabela?
Isabela is in Galapagos at -0.8300, -91.1000. The model covers a 50 by 50 kilometer square around that point.
How high is the terrain in the Isabela model?
The land in this model runs from 0 to 1,120 m (1,120 m of relief). These are the measured heights, printed 1.5 times taller so the shape is easy to see.
Can I 3D print Isabela?
Yes. Download the free Standard resolution STL and print it on any FDM or resin printer. It is 150 mm wide and about 10 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 Isabela 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 Isabela 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 Isabela terrain model good for?
People use it as a memento of a park visit, a gift for a hiker or a classroom model.
About this terrain model
Embossify Terra builds Isabela, Galapagos 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 -0.8300, -91.1000. 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.
