3D mountains from real survey data
Print the mountains
that matter to you.
Pick any peak on Earth. Peak Press builds it from official survey data, so every ridge and valley sits where the survey says it does. You set the snow and the rock. Your own hike prints across it as a raised trail.

Start here
Two kinds of model, the same mountains.
Press either one to open the studio and start on your mountain.
The collection
Every one of these is somewhere real, at the size it prints.
Before you order
You approve the model.
Pick your mountain and see it in 3D before you buy. Set the snow, the rock and your hike until it looks right. The model on your screen is the one we print.
What you can order
Design it here first. The code you get at the end tells us which mountain is yours.
Printed and shipped
The mountain, made
We print it and post it to you, in one color or four. No printer, no slicer, nothing to set up.
Printed with your hike
+ $5
The same model, with your recorded hike across it. It prints as a raised line in its own color.
The file, to print yourself
For your own printer
A 3MF print file with every color already assigned. Open it in your slicer and press print.
How it works
Four steps, about ten minutes to make one.
- 01
Find it. Search any peak on Earth. Frame the ground you want with a square, circle or hexagon.
- 02
Make it yours. Set the snow line, the rock color, the rivers and how tall the peaks stand. Add your own recorded hike. It all previews live in 3D.
- 03
Copy your code. One code holds the whole design: the exact ground, every setting, the trail color.
- 04
Order it. We send you straight to the right Etsy listing. Paste the code into the personalization box and we build exactly what you saw.
What makes it accurate
The mountain decides where everything goes. Nothing on the model is drawn by hand.
Real survey data, not an artist’s impression
We use official national surveys wherever they reach. In the United States that is USGS 3DEP LiDAR. In Europe and Japan it is the national mapping agencies of Switzerland, France, Italy, Spain and Japan. Everywhere else has global coverage. Every gully, bowl and ridgeline lands where the mountain put it.
Rivers, lakes and a snow line you set
Lakes, rivers and coastlines come from real water surveys. They are not guessed from the shape of the land. Move the snow line up or down until it looks like the day you remember.
Your trail, printed on the mountain
Upload the GPX file from any hike or ride. That is the track your watch or phone recorded. It prints across the terrain as a raised line in its own color, on the ground where you walked it.
A frame it drops into
A wood-grain frame in your model’s own shape: square, circle or hexagon. The model drops in and sits on a ledge inside it, standing a little above the rim. It looks like a finished piece, not a print on a shelf.
