The Grand Canyon — Layered in Bronze-Infused PLA
This isn’t cast. It’s printed—layer by layer, just like the Canyon itself was formed, only faster.
Our Grand Canyon Topographical Map is 3D printed using Protopasta’s bronze-infused PLA, a filament packed with 60% real bronze powder. The result? A detailed, weighty piece with the cold touch and metallic sheen of something far older and heavier than it is—like it was chiseled from time itself.
We’ve translated the Canyon’s rugged terrain into a precise, tactile model using real-world elevation data. From the Colorado River's winding path to the jagged canyon walls, each feature rises and falls with breathtaking realism—brought to life in shimmering, earthy bronze tones.
Why It Stands Out:
Metal Where It Matters
Printed, not cast—but it feels like metal. You can polish it to a gleam or let it develop a natural patina for that aged, timeless finish.
Topographical Precision
Every detail is modeled from actual terrain data. You’re not looking at a model—you’re looking at the landscape, miniaturized.
Heavy, and Unique
With twice the density of regular PLA, this bronze composite print feels substantial in the hand—perfect for collectors, educators, and adventurers alike.
Crafted, Not Manufactured
Each piece is printed to order and finished with care. No two are exactly alike.
This isn’t just a souvenir. It’s a geological monument for your desk or display, made from modern material but rooted in deep history.

Dimensions: Approximately 9-10 inches. Sizes vary based on model.
Each item is made to order so shipping times could be up to 7-10 days depending on order volume.
This Filament is special order and about 4 times the cost of regular pla.
Slight variations in printing means no two orders are exactly the same, but we try to keep it as close to the original as possible.
