3D Photo Tips

How to get a great 3D Photo

Do exactly what you would do for a regular photo. We know what works and what doesn’t and we’ll help you look your best from all angles. We’ll review the 3D photo together and if you’re not happy with it we’ll take another one. Within minutes you’ll have a rotating 3D photo to share on social media.

  • How do I keep my 3D print in the best shape?

    1. Keep your 3D prints in-doors at all times – never put your 3D prints in direct sunlight or under bright light! UV rays will fade your prints very quickly.
    2. Display or store you 3D prints securely. They are very fragile.
    3. Display or store your 3D prints between 50ºF and 75ºF.
    4. Display or store your 3D prints in a low-humidity environment, as moisture may damage the product (stains/fading).
    5. For transportation or longer term storage be sure to use bubble wrap and package your 3D prints in a box or container.
