BambiMaps is the first Bambi3D studio. Search for a place, drag a box over it and pick a frame, and it builds that patch of the world as a framed relief: OpenStreetMap buildings at their real heights, terrain from AWS Terrain Tiles, streets, water and parks, and your own lettering raised on the rail. The result is made for printing, not just for looking at. Heights snap to whole layers for your nozzle, landmarks rise through the frame without supports, and a keyhole hanger is recessed into the back (rails under 13 mm get a plain nail hole instead). It exports a Bambu Studio 3MF with each layer on its own AMS slot, or a plain STL for any slicer, with the real plate sizes of the X1 Carbon, X1E, P1S, P1P, A1, A1 mini and H2D built in. bambimaps.com shows five worked examples (Nob Hill, the Eiffel Tower, the Las Vegas Convention Center, Laguna Seca and Battersea), each rebuilt live in your browser, and a short animated film of the workflow from map to print. The designer itself is in its last stretch of testing behind a launch gate, and pricing hasn't been published.

Price: Price TBA.

## Questions

### Does it work on my printer?

X1 Carbon, X1E, P1S, P1P, A1, A1 mini and H2D are built in, each with its real plate size; if a design won't fit you get a one-click resize. The STL prints on anything.

### Can I do a heart, or a ribbon with a name on it?

Yes. Alongside the rectangle there are heart and oval silhouettes, and a heart crops the map rather than stretching it. Any shape can carry a ribbon banner. Terrain relief is rectangles-only; hearts and ovals print flat.

### How big can I go?

Anything from a 100 mm coaster to a 300 mm statement piece. Roughly half a kilometre to three kilometres of ground across gives the best-looking prints.

### Where does the data come from?

Building footprints and heights from OpenStreetMap, elevation from AWS Terrain Tiles. Google Maps is only the backdrop for picking your area.

### Can I use it today?

Not yet. The examples, how it works and ideas are public; the designer is still behind a launch gate. Leave an email on the site to hear the day it opens.
