3D Printing Modeling and Collecting
28mm miniatures with details under half a millimeter, 1:1 scale prop replicas, wargame dioramas — these are items that 3D printing does better than almost any other process. Strato3D has 10+ SLA printers to produce large batches in just a few hours, with the right resolution for direct painting without intermediate sanding. We work with model makers, collectors, indie board game publishers, and prop replica enthusiasts.

- Molds and masters for resin or silicone reproduction
- Aftermarket components for commercial kits (upgrades, conversions)
- Replicas of unique pieces from 3D scanning for restoration and collection
Recommended technologies for model making
SLA technology is the gold standard for miniatures and collectibles: detail under 25 microns, perfect surfaces for direct painting without sanding. For large pieces (1:1 props, cosplay armor), we combine SLA for details and FDM for structures, reducing the final cost.
Resins and materials for painters and collectors
Standard high-detail resins, tough resins resistant to handling, castable resins for metal lost-wax casting. All ready for painting with acrylics, enamels, washes.
Finished pieces ready for collection
Upon request, we deliver post-processed pieces: primer applied, basic details painted, polishing, multi-part assembly.
Rates, confidentiality, and complex files
For large batches of miniatures, rates are competitive and scale with volume. For independent board game publishers and designers launching on Kickstarter, we guarantee confidentiality on files and game mechanics. We accept highly complex ZBrush files and files with textures without conversion issues.
