About Oahu, Hawaii
Oʻahu, sometimes written Oahu, is the third-largest and most populated island of the Hawaiian Islands and of the U.S. state of Hawaii. The state capital, Honolulu, is on Oʻahu's southeastern coast. The island of Oʻahu and the uninhabited Northwestern Hawaiian Islands constitute the City and County of Honolulu. In 2025, Oʻahu had a population of 988,703, a decline of 27,791 (2.7%) from 1,016,494 in 2020 (approximately 70% of the total 1,455,271 population of the Hawaiian Islands, with approximately 81% of those living in or near the Honolulu urban area).

How high is the terrain in the Oahu model?
The land in this model runs from 0 to 1,207 m (1,207 m of relief). These are the measured heights, printed 2 times taller so the shape is easy to see.
Can I 3D print Oahu?
Yes. Download the free Standard resolution STL and print it on any FDM or resin printer. It is 150 mm wide and about 12.2 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 Oahu model?
It is built from real elevation measurements, not an artist's guess: the USGS 3D Elevation Program, mostly airborne laser scans at 1 to 10 meters per point. The shaded picture on this page is made from the same data.
Is the Oahu 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 Oahu terrain model good for?

About this terrain model
Embossify Terra builds Oahu, Hawaii from real measured elevation, not an artist's guess. In the United States the heights come from the USGS 3D Elevation Program, mostly airborne laser scans that resolve every 1 to 10 meters.
The model covers a 50 by 50 kilometer square centered on 21.4389, -158.0001. It prints 150 mm (5.9 in) wide on a solid base, a scale of about 1:333,300. 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.
