How high is the terrain in the Naples model?
The land in this model runs from 0 to 455 m (455 m of relief). These are the measured heights, printed 2 times taller so the shape is easy to see.
Can I 3D print Naples?
Yes. Download the free Standard resolution STL and print it on any FDM or resin printer. It is 150 mm wide and about 11.8 mm tall, on a solid 5 mm base, at a scale of about 1:133,300. 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 Naples 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 Naples 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 Naples terrain model good for?
People use it as a gift for someone who lives there, a souvenir or a desk piece that shows why the city sits where it does.
About this terrain model
Embossify Terra builds Naples, Italy 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 20 by 20 kilometer square centered on 40.8518, 14.2681. It prints 150 mm (5.9 in) wide on a solid base, a scale of about 1:133,300. The heights are exaggerated 2× 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.
