The China Topographic Map is a high-resolution 3D terrain model based on an accurate digital elevation model (DEM). It faithfully represents China’s diverse landscapes, from the towering Himalayas and Tibetan Plateau to the vast plains, river basins, and coastal regions—making it an excellent choice for designers, educators, cartographers, and geography enthusiasts.
This STL file is fully compatible with FDM and SLA 3D printers, as well as CNC routers. You can 3D print a realistic map of China in plastic or CNC carve it from wood, metal, or resin. Ideal for educational models, souvenir production, landscape projects, and terrain visualization.
This topographic model serves as a striking element in design studios, classrooms, or architectural presentations. With precise elevation modeling and high visual fidelity, it inspires creative use and brings real-world landscapes to life. Every terrain feature is carefully modeled to ensure professional, compelling results.

FAQ
The description includes scaling factors for each axis. For example, if you see X – 0.001, Y – 0.001, Z – 0.003, this means the height is three times greater than the width and length. We scale height this way to emphasize the relief.
If you need uniform proportions, let us know—we’ll prepare a custom model upon request.
Send us your required specifications, and we’ll adapt the model accordingly.
Yes, we check every model for integrity and errors.
Yes. For better surface quality, we recommend printing it vertically.
Larger models require more polygons to preserve relief detail. Provide your desired dimensions, and we’ll prepare:
-
A single optimized model or
-
A segmented version with high resolution.
Yes, but polygon reduction may be necessary. Submit a request with your project’s dimensions for a tailored solution.
