STL vs OBJ vs 3MF: Choosing the Right 3D Printing File Format
Selecting the right file format for a 3D printing project might seem like a trivial decision, but it directly affects…
Add authorized face photos and describe the body, pose, profession and base. We review the likeness and email an approval preview before printing or payment.
Upload at least one sharp, front-facing image; a three-quarter view helps with likeness review.
Select size, finish and add-ons, then note the pose, colours, occasion and needed-by date.
The form creates a studio request; it does not create a paid order or an instant preview.
We review your references and email a 3D preview, final price and feasible timing for approval.
Studio and Signature are available in this manual path. The on-page CAD estimate remains indicative until we review your references.
Full-colour FDM with a streamlined finish.
The studio standard: full-colour FDM with artist review of the 3D model.
Full-colour UV resin — up to one million colours. Coming late 2026 / early 2027.
Indicative pricing in Canadian dollars. Your final quote is confirmed after feasibility review and before payment.

Printed in our industrial farm — not a month-long mystery shipped from overseas.
We check modelling, print capacity and destination before confirming a schedule. Priority handling does not guarantee delivery.
We review every authorized reference and prepare an approval preview; no unchecked output proceeds directly to print.
You sign off on the 3D preview. A clear, fair revision policy.
Figurines start at $37 CAD (4 cm, Studio). The popular 6 cm “Best fit” Signature, with artist model review, is $89 CAD. Your final quote is confirmed after feasibility review and before payment.
A sharp, well-lit photo from the front — ideally one from a ¾ angle too — at least 1000 × 1000 px. For a couple or pet, a clear photo of each subject.
Timing depends on modelling, revisions, print capacity and destination. Add your needed-by date; we confirm a feasible schedule before payment. Priority handling does not guarantee delivery.
Your custom figurine is yours, for personal use. We don’t resell your likeness. Reference files are stored privately and used only for the request. They are not used to train AI models. (3DCentral’s Commercial License covers only our original designs and does not apply to custom creations.)
No. The form sends a request to our team. We review feasibility and confirm the concept, scope, quote, timing and included revisions before payment. After concept approval and payment, we prepare the 3D model; you approve the final model before printing.
Yes, as a gift — as long as you have their consent (and a parent’s consent for a child). We decline celebrities and licensed characters.
No — it is a keepsake to display, not a toy. Recommended age: 14+. Not a toy. Not intended for children under 14. Printed figurines have small parts and fine details that can break off and present a choking hazard, so keep them out of reach of infants and young children.
