Custom 3D printed toys

Joseph, the Lab's kid inventor

Most custom 3D printing places want a file. My Lab wants a sentence. You type your toy idea into the Imaginator, and about a minute later a real 3D model of it is spinning on your screen.

From a sentence to a toy

One real idea from the Lab's own list, all the way through.

  1. Type the idea

    “a tiny friendly robot holding a star”

    A dragon mailman. A taco with legs. Anything kind.

  2. The Lab designs it

    The design for a tiny friendly robot with yellow stars

    My family's own computers draw it and build the 3D model. You spin it and recolor it. Bendy versions are preview-only for now.

  3. The Printer Ranch prints it

    A grown-up approves the exact revision, then a Lab printer builds it layer by layer.

Make it yours

Designing is free. The printed toy is the paid part, and its price is on the tag.

  • Free to design
  • A grown-up approves before it prints

Good to know

  • Why it is differentThe Imaginator runs on my family's own AI computers at home. Every idea goes through a kid-safety check before it prints. The whole setup is in the technical bit.
