Templates change the mode, layers, terrain, colors, and tile defaults without clearing your selected area or GPX files.

Terrain DEM

Advanced providers are deliberately explicit: wired sources affect generation now; planned sources are included in the source plan and attribution but do not fake geometry.

Terrain is always available. Draw an area to classify roads, buildings, waterways, and landuse for the selected print plan.

About this tool

Ultimapper turns real-world places into 3D-printable tabletop models. Search or pan to a place, draw the area you want, or start from a GPX trail, then choose a product flow for city maps, terrain, trails, photoreal Earth blocks, or planetary relief. For map prints, it pulls live OpenStreetMap data: building footprints with real heights and roof shapes, roads, rivers and coastlines, parks and beaches, then composes them into one clean, watertight model sized to your print plate. Terrain and trail modes add real elevation, tile planning, source attribution, and adaptive detail limits for printable results. Pick a product type first, then Generate. Tune layers and colors, set the plate size, inspect individual layers or tiles, and download STL, multi-color 3MF, or slicer-friendly color exports.

Presets

Presets assign one uniform print color per semantic layer: buildings, roads, water, parks, trees, sand, and piers.

These rows repaint the current 3D preview immediately when the matching layer is in Print mode.

Advanced imagery colors

Leave this off for normal map prints. Turn it on only when you want satellite-derived object or pixel colors.

Specialized colors

Terrain bands, GPX paths, trophy colors, and custom add-on colors appear here when those features are enabled.

Color export strategy

Multi-color without an AMS

Separate parts print in their own filament and drop into a recess in the base.
