What Are the 3D Geospatial Products Available in Maxar Connect?

Maxar Connect provides access to a wide range of 3D geospatial data. These products help users measure height, surface features, buildings, and terrain with precision. Each dataset is built using Maxar’s satellite-based modeling techniques and is available in standard formats compatible with GIS and 3D platforms.
Below is a breakdown of each product available:
Digital Surface Model (DSM)
A raster model that shows the true height of everything on the surface — terrain, trees, buildings, and other structures.
Options:
Post spacing: 0.5m, 1m, 2m, 4m
Vertical system: EGM96, EGM2008, Ellipsoid
Price: 12.00 credits/sqkm
Digital Terrain Model (DTM)
Similar to DSM but removes all objects above ground. This shows the bare-earth elevation only.
Options:
Post spacing: 0.5m, 1m, 2m, 4m
Vertical system: EGM96, EGM2008, Ellipsoid
Price: 15.00 credits/sqkm
Elevation Bundle
Includes both DSM and DTM together for users who need to compare surface heights and ground elevation in the same area.
Options:
Post spacing: 0.5m, 1m, 2m, 4m
Vertical system: EGM96, EGM2008, Ellipsoid
Price: 20.25 credits/sqkm
3DSM Bundle
A photorealistic 3D surface model with textures and visual depth. Good for modeling cities or terrain in 3D with high detail.
Options:
Formats: 3D Tiles, r3db, collada, i3s
Price: 40.00 credits/sqkm
3D Bundle
A full package including 3DSM, 50 cm DSM, and 50 cm true orthorectified imagery. Offers alignment across 3D and 2D layers.
Options:
Formats: 3D Tiles, r3db, collada, i3s
Price: 45.00 credits/sqkm
3D True Ortho
Maxar’s True Ortho imagery is a distortion-free 2D product built from 3D modeling. It removes tilt and parallax, giving you consistent, top-down views across the entire area. Every feature is aligned in x, y, and z, making it well-suited for mapping, planning, and measurement tasks that require precision.
Each product requires a minimum order size of 10 sq km. These datasets are built to support planning, analysis, and modeling needs across sectors like construction, defense, insurance, and environmental work.
