What file format does Mini Skyline export?

Mini Skyline exports printable core 3MF packages, and can also export an STL ZIP, GLB or OBJ. It does not redistribute raw OpenStreetMap or Overture source data.

Does model generation stay in my browser?

Yes. Browser Web Workers build the preview and 3MF locally. The app still requests map and elevation sources over the network.

Will every mapped feature appear in the model?

No. Source coverage varies, recent edits may not be in pinned datasets yet, and features can be filtered or widened to remain printable.

Do I need CAD or GIS experience?

No. The app handles the map-to-mesh workflow. You choose the place and physical settings, then inspect the preview and slicer result.

Can I share or sell a printed model?

Often, but it depends on the included source data, any landmark models in it, and your use. The export dialog says whether a model is cleared for sale. Keep the generated attribution and license bundle and review Output Use first.

Many data sources, so the model looks like the real place

Open map data gets you most of the way. Our own data packs fill in the rest, so your 3D printed map looks like the real place. For each model, the export dialog tells you whether it is cleared for sale and which credits to include; the attributions page lists the sources.

LiDAR building heights

LiDAR heights in UK, US and Swiss cities, official records across Europe, and storey counts in Spain and Denmark. Sensible guesses everywhere else.

Roof shapes from map data, with laser-scanned roofs in some cities

Mapped roofs print as drawn and LiDAR roofs are in beta. Every other building gets a gabled, hipped or flat roof and a colour that suit its region.

5,500+ landmark 3D models

Famous buildings, towers, stadiums and bridges, sized and turned to match the real ones as closely as we can, each one its own part in the slicer.

Realistic street widths

A road width atlas sizes each street for where it is and how built-up the area is, with sidewalks, lane markings and crosswalks.

Trees where canopy maps show them

Trees go where satellite canopy maps show them, in shapes that fit what grows there: 24 named species, plus palms.

Sea floor and lake beds

Drain the water to print the sea floor underneath, shaded by depth from measured bathymetry.

* Whether you can sell a model depends on the map data it used and on any landmark models in it. The export dialog tells you for each model. A model that includes a landmark whose design may still be protected is not cleared for sale; turn off Landmark models to print those buildings from map data instead. Please check the attribution file bundled inside your export. Selling a print
