Figure from a child's drawing – your child's drawing as a 3D figure

Your child's drawing becomes a colorful 3D-printed figure: mini or standard size, up to three characters from one picture, 3D preview before printing.

Illustration: step by step, a child's drawing becomes a 3D figure on a base

Your child's favorite character – a monster, a unicorn, the whole family – suddenly stands on the shelf as a real, colorful figure. We model it from the photo of the drawing and print it in our workshop near Berlin.

How your figure is made

  1. Upload a photo: take a photo of the drawing in daylight from above and upload it when ordering.
  2. 3D preview: after one to three business days you receive a preview. Two rounds of changes are free.
  3. Printing and shipping: we only print after your approval. Shipping follows 2–3 business days after approval.

Sizes

  • Mini – about 6–8 cm tall: small and fine, perfect for the windowsill or as a gift for grandparents.
  • Standard – about 10–12 cm tall: more room for details and for several characters from one picture.

On request we print the figure unpainted in white for you to paint yourself – a little cheaper. And instead of a drawing, a photo works too: figure from a photo.

Current prices are in the overview on this page and under products & prices.

What makes the figure special?

  • One of a kind: every figure is made from exactly one drawing – there will never be a second one.
  • Imagination stays: we don't "improve" the drawing, we translate it into 3D. Wonky ears and purple dogs included.
  • You decide: we only print once you like the preview.
  • Privacy: photos of the drawing are stored privately and deleted no later than six months after delivery.

Gift ideas

Grandparents especially love a figure of their grandchildren – find more ideas in our guide on Christmas gifts for grandparents. For birthdays, saying goodbye to kindergarten or remembering the first animal your child drew, the figure is a gift that lasts.

Frequently asked questions

How close will the figure be to the drawing?
We keep the shape, colors and details of the drawing as closely as possible. Very thin lines get a little thicker so the figure is sturdy. Before printing you see a 3D preview and can ask for changes.
Can siblings be on one figure?
Yes. Up to three characters from one drawing stand together on one base – perfect for siblings or a family picture.
Can a name go on the base?
Yes, as an extra with a name or short text.
