Design & print custom terrain for 28-32mm tabletop games!
BeamDown puts custom terrain building in the palm of your hand – no 3D modelling skills required!
The browser-based interface is sleek, intuitive, and offers tools purpose-built for creating custom 28-32mm tabletop terrain. Build compatability is handled by the software, so you can stay focused on what matters most: bringing your battlefield narrative to life.
Simply drag and drop structural elements like walls, floors, platforms and templates, then expand on them with highly detailed components such as plating, bulkheads, doorways, panels, pipes, consoles, defences, battle damage, and more.
With BeamDown’s powerful toolkit, you can quickly visualise, build, and export terrain for your campaigns and encounters. The ever-growing asset library, designed by the Saucermen Studios team provides you with essential building blocks, thematic add-ons, and versatile frameworks tailored to suit your unique playstyle and storytelling needs.

What is BeamDown?
BeamDown is a revolutionary, browser-based terrain builder that helps users build custom 3D-printable wargaming terrain without requiring any 3D modeling skills or design experience. Users currate an asset library from our collection of almost 3,000 components.
It features a multitude of intuitive design tools to allow the user to easily build, export and print their own unique custom models. There are NO subscriptions or limits to how many STL files a user can export! See more information about BeamDown here.
Important Information:
This purchase is an asset bundle of components for BeamDown Terrain Designer. It will automatically be added to your BeamDown asset library next time you log into the platform - Please enter your associated email address at checkout (New BeamDown users will receive log-in details after purchase).
You cannot distribute, sell or modify any BeamDown STL files or exports - THEY ARE FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY (Please see terms & conditions).
What You Need to Know:
- YOU BUILD THE TERRAIN - BeamDown purchases do not include physical products or pre-made downloadable files. Instead, BeamDown gives you the tools to create, customize, and export custom terrain STLs for your personal use.
- ACCESSING BEAMDOWN - Log-in details will be emailed to you immediately after your first BeamDown purchase is completed. Existing users can log-in here. BeamDown accounts are licensed for use by a single individual. Login details may not be shared, and accounts must not be used on publicly accessible or shared computers such as kiosks or communal devices.
- BASE SETS MAY BE REQUIRED - Some asset packs are designed to work with specific BEAMDOWN BASE SETS or BEAMDOWN EDITION CORE SETS. Please ensure you have purchased compatible / base sets if required. You can always log into BeamDown and check the Bundles Tab to see which purchases you already own and check the product description to see what's compatible. If you are unsure, please contact us.
- BEAMDOWN SETS ARE DIFFERENT FROM STANDALONE STL SETS - Some BeamDown asset packs have the same names as our standalone STL sets (e.g. Grid City, Zectonium), but they are not the same product. The BeamDown Editions are custom builder kits designed to work within BeamDown to export compatible STL files to match our standalone STL core sets found on our website or to build you own custom version of these sets. They do not include the same pre-made STL files as the standalone sets. Each version is sold separately.
- INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY – All BeamDown assets, exports, and STL files remain the intellectual property of Saucermen Studios. Users cannot create derivative works, remix, repackage, sell, share, distribute, include in other products / digital media projects, or claim ownership of any models or content generated or included with BeamDown under any circumstances. This ensures our creative work is protected while you enjoy personal use of the terrain for your tabletop gaming or 3D printing hobby. See our Full Terms & Conditions
- SUPPORTS & PRINTABILITY – Because BeamDown allows customization of terrain, we cannot guarantee that all exports will be support-free. Some models may require supports, and in rare cases certain configuration combinations may produce minor mesh errors. To ensure the best results, we recommend checking your exports in a slicer or 3D software before printing.
BeamDown is an evolving ecosystem, shaped through community feedback and ongoing updates - you may experience bugs as new features and assets are added and updated.

Wish I knew about this sooner for building custom terrain, I’m having lots of fun with it and the designer is super responsive to questions and requests.

Highly recommended.
There’s some very detailed parts in this set, it’s excellent. The sections I’ve built and printed so far are incredibly easy to make and came out better than I’d thought.
Extra thanks to the Saucerman who was quick to respond to my questions. He goes above and beyond.

I’ve spent the last few years grumbling about how all the terrain stuff on Am@$#^ (etc.) is crazy over priced, and it’s all 3d printed, anyway! The modular potential when Beamdown is used in tandem with the other kickstarter bundles = limitless options. Aside from a couple minor hiccups (periodically) the platform runs smoothly. Construction/design (w.e.) is simple but not so much so that it’s tedious. It reminds me of building homes back in the original, The Sims. Five Thumbs Up.
————-> With the starter package, I put together a little piece to explore/test the options and how well it translated from browser to Orca to printer. The result made things look busy and not right with five different trims in two wall sections, bare that in mind while viewing the images lol. There were a few spots where it was obvious I had doubled up the floor tiles, placing a cross-hatch on a blank or vice versa. (last photo) I drybrushed with A.P.’s “brush on” primer just to pop the details. <———–

The online customization tool is easy to use, the parts included in this bundle is exactly what I need for my gaming table. Lots of futuristic bits to give each building some character while maintaining a good overall cohesion.
