How a Personalised 3D Figurine Is Actually Made, Step by Step

From your ten photographs to a hand-painted resin sculpture — an honest look inside our Ahmedabad studio.

Every personalised figurine begins with photographs, not printers. Our sculptors study facial geometry — the width between the eyes, the slope of the nose bridge, how the jawline reads in profile — before touching any software.

The digital sculpt is built in layers: base body and posture, then clothing with real fabric folds, then the face, which typically takes the longest. Hair is sculpted strand-cluster by strand-cluster because printed hair that looks like a helmet is the fastest way to ruin a likeness.

Once you approve the 360° render, the model is sliced with supports placed to avoid any visible surface. We print in photopolymer resin at 25-micron layers, which is roughly a quarter of the thickness of a human hair.

Post-processing is where craft beats technology. Supports are removed by hand, the model is cured, wet-sanded, primed, and airbrushed in base tones before fine detail is painted with brushes as small as 0.1 mm. A single face can take three hours.

Finally the piece is sealed with a matte or satin varnish, mounted on its base, photographed for your approval, and packed in cut foam. Nothing ships until it looks right under studio lighting.
