Real terrain, in your hands

Every ridge and corrie, true to elevation.

We take open elevation and bathymetric data for the island of Ireland and vacuum-form it into tactile relief — so a coastline you have walked becomes something you can run a thumb along.

    How they’re made

    Data, then heat, then hands.

    01

    Open data

    We start with public elevation models and bathymetry — the same survey data the state uses — and build a true three-dimensional surface of the region, superelevated so the terrain reads at wall scale.

    02

    3D print & form

    The surface is 3D-printed as a tool, then a sheet is heated and vacuum-formed over it. Every contour, corrie and sea cliff transfers in a single pull.

    03

    Print, trim, frame

    The cartography is printed to register with the relief, hand-trimmed, and either fitted to a solid frame or finished bare. Then it’s boxed in Galway and posted.

    Bespoke mapping

    Your catchment, your county, your climb.

    If the landscape you want isn’t in the collection, we’ll build it. We’ve made relief maps for river trusts, national parks, visitor centres, mountaineering clubs and people who simply wanted the valley they grew up in.

    Send us an area — a boundary, a set of coordinates, or just a place name — and we’ll come back with a scale, a size and a price.

    ★★★★★

    Bought the Iveragh map for my father after we walked the Reeks together. He has traced that ridge with his finger about a hundred times since.

    ★★★★★

    We use the Geology of Ireland map in the classroom constantly. Students understand the Burren in about ten seconds once they can feel it.

    ★★★★★

    Arrived beautifully packed, frame is solid, and the detail on the Twelve Bens is genuinely surprising up close.

    Irish geomorphology

    The shape of this island was decided by ice, and we have only been living on the result.
