How it works

From the drawing on the kitchen table to the figure on the shelf – in six steps. You decide before anything is printed.

The process

  1. Order and upload a photo

    Choose size and extras and upload one to four photos – of the drawing, or of the person or pet. You can add notes about colors or a name for the base.

  2. We check the drawing

    Within one business day we look at everything. If something is unclear, we ask instead of guessing.

  3. We model the figure

    Lines and colors become a figure with depth. After one to three business days you receive a 3D preview by email.

  4. You approve the preview

    If you like the figure, approve it with one click. If you want changes, describe them briefly – two rounds of changes are free.

  5. We print the figure

    We only print after your approval, layer by layer. Then we check and pack every figure by hand and ship it within 2–3 business days.

  6. Shipping or pickup

    The figure is sent to you by post. If you live near Berlin, you can also pick it up by arrangement.

How long does it take?

Once you approve the 3D preview, we ship the figure within 2–3 business days. The preview itself usually takes one to three business days – so you help decide how fast it goes.

Tips for a good photo

  • Take the photo in daylight near a window, without flash.
  • Hold the phone parallel to the sheet, straight from above.
  • Get the whole sheet in the picture – don't cut anything off.
  • Feel free to add a close-up of details.

What we adapt

A drawing is flat, a figure is not. To make it stand securely and last, we make a few decisions:

  • Very thin arms, legs or hair become a little thicker.
  • The figure gets a base – with a name if you like.
  • We choose the printing colors closest to the colors of the drawing.
  • We design the back, which the drawing doesn't show, to match.

Our goal: your child recognizes their picture right away.
