High-Tolerance
3D Printing Miniatures

3D Printing Miniatures

Our team at iDES has been passionate about doing wonders out of visions using the expertise in precision miniature modeling. Our advanced 3D printing miniatures technology accomplishes layer resolutions down to 25 microns, enabling exact details which is impossible with traditional manufacturing.

We specialize in automotive components, consumer electronics, medical devices, and industrial machinery miniatures with tolerances as tight as ±0.05mm. Our equipment processes materials ranging from PLA to high-performance engineering plastics, maintaining surface finishes of Ra 0.8 microns.

Each miniature prototype undergoes strict quality control using coordinate measuring machines (CMM) with 2-micron accuracy. From concept validation to functional testing, our miniature model-making services help you avoid costly design mistakes while bringing your ideas to life faster than traditional 3D printing miniatures methods.

Benefits of 3D Miniature Design & Development Services

Get your hands on actual 3D miniature models instead of relying on flat drawings, and visualize complex designs before committing to expensive full-scale production investments.

Our professional 3D miniature model maker services identify design errors early, preventing costly manufacturing mistakes and reducing overall project expenses through precise prototype testing.

Exhibiting full-scale machinery or large products can be logistically complex and costly. We help reduce these expenses by creating high-quality, small-size miniatures for exhibition purposes.

Physical 3D miniature models facilitate clearer project discussions, eliminating misunderstandings between designers, clients, and manufacturers while ensuring everyone shares the same vision.

Skip lengthy design revision cycles by testing multiple iterations quickly, allowing your 3D miniature model maker to refine concepts efficiently and shorten time-to-market significantly.

Identify potential manufacturing challenges through detailed model testing, preventing expensive production delays and ensuring a smooth transition from prototype to final product.

The Process Of Creating
a 3D Miniature Model

Project Initiation Design Finalization Pre-Execution Planning Model Fabrication Finishing & Quality Control Quality control checks Final Delivery & Project Closure
01.

Project Initiation

The first step of the process begins with reviews and approval of the quotation, then we proceed by issuing the Purchase Order (PO) to the client, and after that client releases advance payment to initiate the project.

02.

Design Finalization

At step two of our process, we review and modify the 3D model, only if it's needed. After modifications, we share the final 3D model with the client for approval.

03.

Pre-Execution Planning

Then we proceed with the confirmation of painting details, colors, finishes, or any sticker/branding requirements. After that, we begin the preparation of the Bill of Materials (BOM) execution sheet, incorporating all design and finish specifications; without BOM sheet approval, execution or procurement is not possible.

04.

Model Fabrication

At the fourth stage, there is the execution of the miniature model-making process using approved 3D files and BOM.

05.

Finishing & Quality Control

After execution, we begin with the assembly and post-processing (sanding, painting, decals, etc).

06.

Quality Control Checks

The next stage is to send the model for pre-dispatch review to the client for approval. We provide both of the methods for reviews ( online and offline)

07.

Final Delivery & Project Closure

The last stage comes with the final dispatch of the completed model. We then collect the feedback and make changes if any. Then comes the closure of the PO upon final approval and delivery, and the remaining payment gets cleared at this stage.

Frequently Asked
Questions Answered

What materials are used for 3D-printed miniatures?

3D-printed miniatures are typically made from resin, specifically UV-curable resin. This material allows for exceptionally high detail and smooth finishes, making it ideal for detailed miniature designs. Different types of resin, such as standard, durable, or even flexible resins, can be used depending on the desired properties of the final miniature. We can also use the FDM process to develop a Miniature for a low-cost material, PLA.

Do you provide painting or coloring services for the miniatures?

Yes, we offer painting and finishing services for all miniatures developed in-house. The level of detail and color application depends on the specific requirements and purpose of the prototype. While not all miniatures require coloring - especially those intended for internal use or mechanical demonstration - we provide tailored finishing options when visual presentation and realism are essential, such as in exhibitions or client demos. Our team ensures the final look aligns with your brand, functionality, and audience expectations.

Can you replicate existing figures?

We can replicate existing figures provided where you own the intellectual property rights. We prioritize ethical practices and copyright compliance. If you can provide proof of ownership or licensing, we can certainly discuss replicating your figures with high fidelity.

How many revisions are included in the service?

There are two free revisions included in the service. But rest assured, we will be there to ensure you get complete satisfaction from our services.

Do different materials affect the level of detail?

Yes, different materials significantly affect the level of detail in 3D-printed miniatures. Resin is generally preferred for miniatures due to its ability to capture very fine details, sharp edges, and smooth surfaces. Other materials, like FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) plastics, while durable, typically result in visible layer lines and less complex detail compared to resin. For highly detailed miniatures, resin is the superior choice.
