Miniatures
Ultra-detailed tabletop gaming miniatures, collectible figurines, and scale models — printed in high-resolution SLA resin with detail down to 0.025mm. Every sword edge, flowing cloak, and facial expression captured with precision that rivals injection-moulded minis.
THE GOLD STANDARD FOR TABLETOP MINIS
SLA resin printing is the gold standard for tabletop gaming miniatures — and for good reason. With layer heights as fine as 0.025mm, our Formlabs Form 4 captures every sword edge, facial expression, and flowing cloak with a level of detail that FDM simply cannot match. The result is miniatures with smooth surfaces, crisp detail, and a finish that rivals injection-moulded production pieces.
Our miniature printing service is perfect for game designers testing new sculpts before committing to production tooling, painters wanting the crispest possible detail to work with, collectors wanting a one-off centrepiece for their display cabinet, or anyone needing small-batch production of custom miniatures for a Kickstarter, game launch, or personal project.
We work with STL files from all the major platforms — MyMiniFactory, Thingiverse, Cults3D, and others — as well as custom sculpts from digital artists. If you have a design ready, upload it for an instant quote. If you need help sourcing or creating a model, get in touch and we'll point you in the right direction.

What scale minis can you print?
We regularly print miniatures at 28mm, 32mm, 54mm, and 75mm scales. We can also print at any custom scale you need — just let us know the dimensions when you get in touch. Whether it's standard tabletop scale or a large display piece, our Formlabs Form 4 handles it all with the same ultra-fine detail.
Do I need to supply the STL file?
Yes, for existing designs you'll need to supply the STL file. Most tabletop miniature platforms like MyMiniFactory, Thingiverse, and Cults3D provide STL downloads. If you don't have a file, we can help source a suitable model or connect you with a digital sculptor to create a custom design from scratch.
What layer height do you use for minis?
For miniatures, we typically print at 0.025mm to 0.05mm layer height. This gives you virtually invisible layer lines, meaning fine details like facial expressions, chainmail texture, and sword edges come out crisp and clean. 0.025mm is the finest setting on our Formlabs Form 4, and it's what we use for display pieces where detail matters most.
Do the minis come ready to paint?
Yes. All miniatures are fully washed and UV-cured after printing. We remove supports carefully and do light sanding on any support contact points if needed. The minis arrive ready for priming and painting. We recommend applying a thin coat of primer before painting for the best adhesion and finish.
Can you print pre-supported files?
Yes, absolutely. If your file already has supports, we'll print it as-is. If it doesn't, we'll add supports ourselves at no extra charge — we use light-touch supports positioned to minimise contact marks on visible surfaces. We'll always check with you if we think the support placement might affect a critical detail area.
