About Madeira, Portugal
Madeira, officially the Autonomous Region of Madeira, is an autonomous region of Portugal, in the Atlantic Ocean about 805 km (500 miles) southwest of mainland Portugal. Together with the Azores, it is one of the two autonomous regions of Portugal and a special territory of the European Union. It is the southernmost point and region of Portugal. Madeira is an archipelago situated in the North Atlantic Ocean, in the region of Macaronesia, just under 400 kilometres (250 mi) north of the Canary Islands, Spain, 520 kilometres (320 mi) west of Morocco and 805 kilometres (500 mi) southwest of mainland Portugal. Madeira sits on the African tectonic plate, but is culturally, politically and ethnically associated with Europe, with its population predominantly descended from Portuguese settlers. Its population was 251,060 in 2021.

Questions about Madeira, Portugal
Where is Madeira?
Madeira is in Portugal at 32.7607, -16.9595. The model covers a 50 by 50 kilometer square around that point.
How high is the terrain in the Madeira model?
The land in this model runs from 0 to 1,784 m (1,784 m of relief). These are the measured heights, printed 1.5 times taller so the shape is easy to see.
Can I 3D print Madeira?
Yes. Download the free Standard resolution STL and print it on any FDM or resin printer. It is 150 mm wide and about 13 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 Madeira 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 Madeira 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 Madeira 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 Madeira, Portugal 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 32.7607, -16.9595. 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.
