3D Printed Pet Figures: A Keepsake Made from Your Photos
Pet portraits have moved off the canvas. A sculpted, 3D printed figure of a dog mid-head-tilt or a cat in its permanent loaf position captures something a flat photo can't — and it's made from nothing more than the pictures already on your phone.
Any animal, any pose
Dogs and cats lead by volume, but the process is identical for horses, rabbits, parrots, reptiles — anything you can photograph. Two routes:
- True-to-life — the actual markings, the crooked ear, the gray muzzle. Our sculptor works from your photos until the details match.
- Character style — your pet as a wizard, an astronaut, a renaissance noble. These make legendary gifts for people who have everything.
What photos we need
The likeness lives in the details, so the best input is:
- A clear face close-up — eye color, ear set, expression.
- A full-body shot from the side — proportions and coat.
- The pose you love — sitting, standing, the head tilt. We sculpt the pose you send.
- Anything extra helps: collar details, favorite toy, unusual markings.
Ordinary phone photos in daylight are perfect. You'll approve a preview render of the sculpt before printing — the same photo-to-figure process we use for people.
Sizes and what they cost
| Format | Height | Guide price |
|---|---|---|
| Shelf figure | ~15 cm | €59–99 |
| Statuette | ~25 cm | €99–169 |
| Display figure | ~40 cm | €169–290 |
| Large display piece | 50 cm+ | on quote |
Prices include the digital sculpting. Painting is an add-on — though many customers keep the single-color look, which reads as classical sculpture rather than toy. Thanks to our large-format printer, even a near-life-size dog is printable in one piece; details on the figures page.
Memorial figures
A significant share of pet orders are memorials, and we treat them accordingly. Old photos are enough — even a few slightly blurry ones. We reconstruct the pose from what exists, share the preview privately, and revise patiently. Many people choose a small engraved base with a name and years. If this is why you're reading, take your time; the photos you have will be enough.
Ordering from anywhere
The whole process runs by email: photos in, preview render back, approval, then a tracked parcel. Figures ship in rigid boxes with foam cutouts anywhere in the EU in 2–6 business days after finishing, and worldwide by express. Most orders arrive within about two weeks.
