Mini Maker 3D
Personalised 3D Printed Miniatures of Your Pet
Upload a few photos of your dog, cat or horse and Mini Maker 3D turns them into a 3D-printable miniature you can keep forever. It's the most personal way to celebrate a much-loved pet — sized by scale, or to an exact height you choose.
- Works from ordinary phone photos — no scanning needed
- Standing, sitting, walking or exactly-as-photographed poses
- Solid or hollow print, ready to paint or display as-is
Pet miniatures created from photographs
No scanning, no studio visit: take photos of your pet at home and upload up to six of them. The AI generates a detailed, printable miniature from the images — and your first model is free, one per eligible account, no card required. It also works from a written description if you'd like a figure of a pet you don't have photos of.
Choosing suitable photographs
One clear full-body view from the front plus side and rear angles, taken in daylight at the animal's height, gives the best result. Avoid cropped limbs, harsh indoor lighting and cluttered backgrounds.
Likeness and level of detail depend on the quality of your photos and the generation results — we can't guarantee a perfect resemblance. Review the generated preview, request changes, and only download when you're happy. The photo coach can suggest specific fixes before you generate.
Supported animals, poses and sizes
Dogs, cats, horses and other animals all work — the subject is generated from your photos or description rather than a fixed catalogue of breeds. Choose standing, sitting, walking or exactly-as-photographed poses.
Size is yours to control: pick a scale (a 900 mm dog at 1:12 comes out about 75 mm tall; at 1:24, about 37.5 mm) or override the target height to an exact figure for a shelf, desk or display cabinet. Solid or hollow printing is selectable.
STL downloads and optional professional printing
Once your model's export is ready you can download a printable STL file, with GLB where the current supported workflow provides one, plus an interactive 3D preview to inspect before downloading. Print it yourself at home, or request a professional print quote — printing and postage are quoted separately, and postage is charged once per order.
Display models and personalised keepsakes
A printed miniature makes a permanent keepsake of a much-loved companion — for your own shelf, as a gift for the family, or as a memorial piece. Choose the finish and size that suit where it will live, and paint it yourself or display it as printed.

Frequently asked questions
What photos do I need for a pet miniature?
Up to six photos: one clear full-body front view plus side and rear angles, taken in daylight at the animal's height against a plain background. Good photos are the biggest factor in a good likeness, and the photo coach can suggest fixes before you generate.
Which animals can you turn into miniatures?
Dogs, cats, horses and other animals — the model is generated from your photos or description rather than selected from a breed catalogue, so unusual pets work too.
What poses are supported?
Standing, sitting, walking, or keeping the pose exactly as shown in your photographs. The sitting pose is a popular choice for dog portraits.
How big will the model be?
You choose: pick a scale, or override the height to an exact figure. A 900 mm dog at 1:12 is about 75 mm tall and at 1:24 about 37.5 mm — the size guide in the creator shows the result before you generate.
Can you print and post the figure for me?
Optionally, yes. Request a professional print quote and printing and postage are quoted separately, with postage charged once per order. Alternatively download the STL and print it at home.
