About your Custom FRAME
The FRAME turns a place into something you can put on your wall — not a point on a map, but a memory made physical. With a Custom FRAME, you choose that place yourself: your street, your skyline, the exact spot that means something to you.
It's made in Germany from a biodegradable, corn-based material and finished with a solid wood frame — the same object, made to the same standard as every city in our collection.
A 64 × 64 cm framed city portrait, made to hang on your wall. Subtle enough to blend in, distinctive enough to start a conversation.
The 3D data behind your FRAME
Every Custom FRAME is built automatically from real-world 3D data. Where official building data is published, your model uses it (true building shapes and roof forms); everywhere else it's built from global open data — OpenStreetMap footprints extruded to their real height, plus worldwide terrain. How much fine detail you get depends on what is public for that exact spot.
Our collection goes one step further. The cities in our main range are each refined by hand through our CitySculpt process — a level of manual work a made-on-demand custom model doesn't go through. See how we build a city.
Whatever the location, the on-screen preview always shows your model exactly as it will be made — so you can check it in full before you order.

Dimensions
Dimensions: 64 x 64 cm | 25 x 25 inches
Height varies from city to city.
Materials
Crafted from a biodegradable, corn-based material, each model features a distinctive matte surface with a subtle, plaster-like texture. The carefully developed white tone is not a pure white, but a soft, curated shade designed to enhance depth, light, and shadow, bringing out the finest details of the cityscape.
Together with a solid black-painted wood frame, the materials are chosen to create a precise and timeless architectural look.

CITYFRAMES is based in Germany. International shipments outside the EU may be subject to import taxes and duties. Learn morePackaging
Each FRAME is shipped in a thick cardboard box designed for safe transport. Inside, the model is secured with internal foam protection and additional corner protection to protect both the city and the solid wood frame during shipping.
The package is also wrapped in protective foil to help shield it from rain and moisture while in transit.
The result is practical, robust packaging that keeps the FRAME well protected from our production to your wall.
Mounting
The FRAME can be displayed either on a wall or placed on a surface, giving you flexibility in how it becomes part of your space.
Each solid wood frame comes with mounting brackets on the back, allowing it to be hung securely and cleanly on the wall.
For safe installation, we recommend using strong screws with suitable wall plugs for your wall type. If you are unsure, please seek professional assistance to ensure secure mounting.
Care
Caring for your FRAME is simple. A gentle stream of air removes dust from the model, while the frame can be maintained with a soft cloth. Learn more in our Cleaning Guide.
Designed to last, custom magnetic fittings hold larger buildings securely in place while allowing them to be easily removed and replaced if needed. This ensures precise alignment, lasting durability, and peace of mind over time.

Aquiring High Quality 3D Data
Why not Google Maps?
Digital 3D data is the foundation of every model we produce, from the CUBE to the WALL. We often get asked why we can't use Google Maps?
There are several reasons for this, but in short, it's the wrong type of data. Google Maps utilizes scans based on satellite imagery, which are then textured - this means images are overlaid with images to show colors. The imagery actually conceals that the underlying data is very bumpy and uneven, making it unsuitable for 3D printing or any kind of production.
In several cities, Google data is unavailable. Take Dubai, for instance, which is represented solely by a flat image in Google Earth.
It's important to note that even if the data were usable, its use would still be definitively illegal.
That's when we came up with CITYSCLUPT!
The solution: Merging technology with manual skill
CitySculpt Process
Urban Layout Plan
The process starts with 2D urban blueprints. By utilizing fundamental open-data layout plans we outline the model areas and determine necessary data sources for generating the 3D data.
Looking down on the ISS
The satellites that capture the data for our models fly twice as high as the International Space Station, yet still produce crystal-clear data. By having access to the latest innovations from Airbus, NASA, and ESA, we are able to purchase very high-quality datasets that serve as the perfect base for our 3D city models. We use combinations of multiple datasets, depending on the density, topography and location of the city.
Time for manual skill
Cities are diverse and complex, which is why we now hand over the datasets to our skilled 3D data artists. The generated buildings are manually cross-referenced against sources such as Google Maps or building plans. We reconstruct missing structures, enhance details, and track upcoming developments. Additionally, we add parks, bridges, landmarks, railways, bodies of water, docks, elevated roads, highways, pathways, and statues to our models.
The unique miniature look
In the final step, we prepare and optimize the cities for 3D Printing. This is when the miniature look of our cities truly comes to life. By the time our models are ready for production, they are not just representations of urban landscapes, but vibrant miniatures that reflect the unique atmosphere and character of each city.Below you can find some before / after examples of the 3D data creation with CitySculpt.
Based on many years and thousands of hours of <span style="color: #b8946b; display: inline; font-weight: bold;">experience</span>, we have perfected this process to <span style="color: #b8946b; display: inline; font-weight: bold;">create 3D cities that are truly unique.</span>
