About Iwo Jima, Japan
Iwo Jima (Japanese: 硫黄島, Hepburn: Iōjima; English: , Japanese: [ì.ó̞ó̞.(ɟ̟͡)ʑí.mä́], lit. 'Sulfur Island'), officially named Iwo Tō (硫黄島, Iōtō; [ì.ó̞ó̞.tó̞ó̞]), is one of the Japanese Volcano Islands, which lie south of the Bonin Islands and together with them make up the Ogasawara Archipelago. Together with the Izu Islands, they make up Japan's Nanpō Islands. Although 1,200 km (750 mi) south of Tokyo on Honshu, Iwo Jima is administered as part of the Ogasawara Subprefecture of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. Only 21 square kilometers (8.1 sq mi) in size, the island is still volcanic and emits sulfurous gases. The highest point of Iwo Jima is Mount Suribachi at 169 m (554 ft) high.

How high is the terrain in the Iwo Jima model?
The land in this model runs from 0 to 156 m (156 m of relief). These are the measured heights, printed 1.5 times taller so the shape is easy to see.
Can I 3D print Iwo Jima?
Yes. Download the free Standard resolution STL and print it on any FDM or resin printer. It is 150 mm wide and about 12 mm tall, on a solid 5 mm base, at a scale of about 1:33,300. 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 Iwo Jima 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 Iwo Jima 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 Iwo Jima terrain model good for?
People use it as a classroom history lesson, a wargaming terrain board or a gift for a veteran's family.
About this terrain model
Embossify Terra builds Iwo Jima, Japan 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 5 by 5 kilometer square centered on 24.7517, 141.2889. It prints 150 mm (5.9 in) wide on a solid base, a scale of about 1:33,300. 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.
