About Mount Rainier, Washington
Mount Rainier ( ray-NEER), also known as Tahoma ( tə-HOH-mə), is a large, active stratovolcano in the Cascade Range of the Pacific Northwest in the United States. The mountain is located in Mount Rainier National Park about 59 miles (95 km) south-southeast of Seattle. At 14,406 ft (4,391 m) it is the highest mountain in the U.S. state of Washington, the most topographically prominent mountain in the contiguous United States, and the tallest in the Cascade Volcanic Arc. Due to its high probability of an eruption in the near future and proximity to a major urban area, Mount Rainier is considered one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world, and it is on the Decade Volcano list.

How high is the terrain in the Mount Rainier model?
The land in this model runs from 646 to 4,384 m (3,738 m of relief). These are the measured heights, printed true to scale.
Can I 3D print Mount Rainier?
Yes. Download the free Standard resolution STL and print it on any FDM or resin printer. It is 150 mm wide and about 33 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 Mount Rainier 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 Mount Rainier 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 Mount Rainier terrain model good for?
People use it as a memento of a climb, a gift for a mountaineer or a ski-trip souvenir.
About this terrain model
Embossify Terra builds Mount Rainier, Washington 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 20 by 20 kilometer square centered on 46.8523, -121.7603. It prints 150 mm (5.9 in) wide on a solid base, a scale of about 1:133,300. The heights are true to scale. The sea is flattened to zero, so land stands on a clean base.
