What can you generate?

Georeferenced 3D map models in a self-contained format with commercial-friendly license (.glTF, .obj, .3mf, .stl, .dxf, .3dm, .ifc).

All formats are usable offline and independently of our platform. No dependency on third party services or API keys—your models will work forever, even if we disappear.

Self-contained models

Export your models in the format that fits your workflow:

Web & real-time

  • .glTF Geometry, colors and textures in one compact file. Loads directly in browsers and game engines.
  • .obj (with texture) Opens in almost any 3D software, but carries no units and splits the texture into separate files.

3D printing

  • .3mf The modern 3D printing standard. Color, materials and real units in one file, read by every current slicer.
  • .stl The old standard. Triangles only, so no color, no materials and no units. Choose 3MF unless your tool needs STL.

CAD & BIM

  • .dxf Named, colored layers for terrain, buildings and roads. Imports into AutoCAD, SketchUp and Vectorworks.
  • .3dm Native Rhino. NURBS terrain surface, buildings as closed solids, trees as block instances.
  • .ifc BIM-ready and georeferenced (UTM or EPSG:3857). Buildings as parametric solids for Revit, ARCHICAD and IFC viewers.
Commercial use included

Unlike most of our competitors, our models are made from open data sources with commercial-friendly license. This means you can use them without restriction — you are even allowed to resell them if you want to.

Depending on the imagery source, you might need to attribute the imagery source somewhere when you reuse the 3d model.

Optimized & lightweight

Our models are generated using a Triangulated irregular network mesh that makes them more lightweight and efficient to display.
