Frame your area
Search for a place, then drag a box over it. Lock it square or to any aspect ratio. The readout tells you exactly how much ground you are capturing as you go.
Your street. Their hometown. The corner where you met. BambiMaps turns real buildings, real heights and real terrain into a framed relief that drops straight into Bambu Studio — name raised on the rail, keyhole hanger already in the back.
Every one of these was built by the app you are about to use — pick one and spin it. Nothing here is a render.
No CAD, no mesh repair, no guessing at scale.
Search for a place, then drag a box over it. Lock it square or to any aspect ratio. The readout tells you exactly how much ground you are capturing as you go.
Six rail profiles, four size presets, corner rounding, and your own raised lettering — the city name is filled in for you. A keyhole hanger goes into the back automatically.
Real map and elevation data go in, a print-ready 3MF comes out — layer-snapped heights, AMS slots, plate thumbnail and your licence stamped inside the file.
Everything here comes from real data, not an artist's impression.
Elevation comes from the same open DEM that national mapping agencies feed — roughly 10 m across the US and as fine as 1–3 m where lidar exists. Hills push the streets around the way they do in life, and you decide in millimetres how tall the relief stands.
Landmarks and hilltops rise proudly through the frame plane instead of being shaved flat. It is what makes the piece read as an object rather than a plaque — and it still prints without a single support.
Where a tower is mapped with setbacks, each part is extruded on its own and the outline drops to podium height. The silhouette is the real one.
Nozzle and layer height shape the geometry itself: heights snap to whole layers so tops land clean, and anything finer than your nozzle is dropped rather than becoming an unprintable sliver.
Assign frame, ground, buildings, water and lettering to AMS slots and watch the preview change. What is on screen is what comes off the plate.
A keyhole is recessed into the back of the top rail. Push it onto a nail, let it drop, done — no hardware, no drilling, nothing to glue.
The best ones are never the obvious ones. Tap any of these to open it in the designer.
Circuits print beautifully — the tarmac ribbon reads clearly and the elevation is the whole story. Laguna Seca's Corkscrew drops 18 metres in 137. For anyone who has watched that corner a hundred times.
A heart frame cropped around the venue, with the date on a ribbon across the base. Print it in two colours and it looks bought.
Nobody frames the place they live now — they frame the one they moved out of. Four blocks is plenty.
A heart around the building, the shelter's name on the ribbon. Makers on the Studio plan sell these for fundraisers.
Build as many as you like and spin them around for as long as you want. You only pay when you want the printable file — and a purchase unlocks a place, not a file.
One unlock covers that location for ever — restyle it, resize it, change the colours and download it again as often as you like.
A 3MF project ready for Bambu Studio — every layer split into its own part with an AMS slot, the print process filled in, a plate thumbnail, and the model dropped in the middle of your plate. Plus a plain STL for any other slicer. Millimetres, Z up, back face on the bed. No rotation and no supports.
X1 Carbon, X1E, P1S, P1P, A1, A1 mini and H2D are all built in, each with its real plate size — if a design will not fit, you get a one-click resize. The STL prints on anything.
No. You unlock a location, not a file. Change the frame, the size, the colours, the lettering, the printer — download it as many times as you want. A different city is a different unlock.
With the Studio plan, yes — it includes a commercial licence. The one-off and pack tiers are for personal use. Keep the OpenStreetMap credit with anything you sell either way; their licence requires it.
Yes. Alongside the rectangle there are heart and oval silhouettes — a heart crops the map to a heart-shaped view rather than stretching it. Any shape can carry a ribbon banner: a raised swallow-tailed sash across the lower half with your text on it, sized so its tails always land on solid frame. Terrain relief is rectangles-only; hearts and ovals print flat.
Anything from a 100 mm coaster to a 300 mm statement piece. Ground coverage of roughly half a kilometre to three kilometres across gives the best-looking prints — dense downtown blocks look spectacular.
No password, ever. You get a licence key after checkout that restores your library on any browser. Keep it somewhere safe.
Building footprints and heights from OpenStreetMap, elevation from AWS Terrain Tiles. Google Maps is only ever the backdrop for picking your area — Google has no API that hands out building geometry.
Your street. Your hometown. The place you got married. It takes two minutes.
