Use Case · Logos & Signage
FDMBring your logo
into three dimensions
A flat logo turned into a thick 3D piece stands out in a store, office or booth. A logo file (AI/SVG) or even an image is enough to create a 3D model and print it.
Quick answer
3D logos and nameplates are most often printed in FDM PLA for its colour range; use PETG or ABS outdoors and DLP resin for crisp badge-sized emblems. We recommend strokes of at least 1.5 mm (FDM), letters at least 10 mm tall and 2–5 mm of relief above the base, and you can start from just a logo image.

Design checklist
4 items- 1
Keep letter strokes at least 1.5mm thick (FDM) and letters at least 10mm tall.
- 2
Raise letters 2–5mm above the base plate so they cast a shadow and read well.
- 3
Multi-color logos look cleanest when each color is printed separately and assembled.
- 4
For wall mounting, design a recess for tape or screw holes on the back.

QI only have a logo image (JPG/PNG).
The AI 3D Maker can turn an image into a 3D model, and our modeling service can build an exact model if you need precision.
QCan you make illuminated signs?
We can print in translucent materials or Clear resin that lets light through. We can discuss the LED layout at the design stage.
QCan I order several of the same logo?
Yes, and the unit price drops with quantity. Small batches for merchandise or gifts are possible.
