Project Workflow

  1. Review supplied sketches, dimensions, or reference models
  2. Build 3D mold geometry with prototype planning notes
  3. Deliver files in STL, STEP, or OBJ format
  4. Refine based on feedback before production handoff

Project Fit

Ideal for confectionery brands or manufacturers needing repeatable candy shapes. Projects start at the $200 minimum. Provide STL, STEP, OBJ, 3MF, or IGES files for fastest turnaround on initial pricing.
