What it does
- Data visualization made tangible: states rise based on your chosen values

Turn data into something you can actually hold. This 3D prism map of the contiguous United States represents values by the height of each state, the default version shows 2010 population density, so California towers while Wyoming stays low. It's a fantastic geography learning tool and a conversation starter for anyone who loves cartography or data visualization.
The coolest part? It's fully customizable. Use the built-in customizer to plug in your own datasets, election results, GDP, climate data, whatever you're into, and watch the map morph to match. You can also tweak the overall dimensions to fit your desk or classroom wall.
Whether you're a teacher looking for hands-on manipulatives, a data nerd who wants their stats in 3D, or just someone who thinks maps are awesome, this printable model delivers. Each state is an extruded polygon (a prism, hence the name), making complex data easy to compare at a glance.

What it is made of
Designs like this print well in PLA. Compare the materials.
Printed plastic is strong for its size, but it is not metal. We have not load tested this design, so we do not publish a weight rating. Keep it out of a hot car and away from open flame.
