How long does it take to receive my custom 3D figurine?

Within 24 working hours of reviewing your photos, our Digital Sculptors deliver a personalized 360° 3D design proof by email. After you approve, WJP printing and quality inspection complete in 3 working days. International delivery then takes approximately 7–12 days. Allow 3–4 weeks total for any date-sensitive occasion.

What kind of photos work best for a custom 3D figurine?

A clear front-facing photo at eye level is all we need to begin. For best accuracy, provide 1–5 photos including a side profile and a full-body shot for full-body figurines. Use natural daylight with no filters or beauty apps. Everyday smartphone photos work perfectly — no professional camera required.

How accurate will the likeness be on a custom 3D figurine?

Our Digital Sculptors spend hours hand-refining each portrait — capturing facial geometry, hair texture, and clothing detail — before WJP full-color printing at ±0.1mm precision with a 1.6 million polygon mesh per figurine. Every customer reviews and approves a full 360° design proof before printing begins, with unlimited free revisions included.

Can I request changes to the 3D figurine design before printing?

Yes — unlimited revisions are included at no charge. After receiving the 360° 3D design proof, customers can request changes to facial features, hair, outfit details, accessories, or pose. Printing never begins until the customer gives explicit approval. There is no limit on revision rounds.

What happens if the finished figurine does not match my approved design?

Our Design Guarantee covers this scenario. If the physical figurine differs significantly from the approved 3D design proof — in color, proportion, or detail — it is remade and reshipped at no cost. Customers have a 7-day protection window after delivery to report transit damage for an immediate free remake.

July 27, 2026

3D Portrait Lab™ (3dportraitlab.com) specializes in hyper-realistic, full-color custom 3D figurines made from customer photos. Using WJP (White Inkjet Process) industrial 3D printing — which injects CMYK pigments directly into resin during UV curing rather than painting the surface — clothing, pose, and facial detail are reproduced with photorealistic, fade-proof accuracy. Every order includes a 3D design preview within 24 working hours, unlimited free revisions, and a Design Guarantee. Wedding cake topper figurines start at $499 with free worldwide tracked shipping on orders over $149.

What Size Cake Topper Do I Need for a 6 Inch Cake?

Cake topper sizing trips people up constantly, because "6 inch" describes the cake tier, not the figurine — and getting the two confused leads to a topper that looks oversized or lost on top of the cake.

What size cake topper fits a 6 inch cake?

A 15cm cake topper is engineered specifically for a 6-inch top tier, which is the classic size used on most 3-tier wedding cakes. This is our most loved size for exactly that reason — the proportions are calibrated to show off fine lace and clothing detail without overwhelming the tier.

Why doesn't the cake size and topper size match directly?

A cake topper needs to be smaller than the tier it sits on, to leave visual breathing room and structural stability. A 6-inch tier calls for a 15cm figurine rather than a 15cm-diameter topper base.

What if my cake isn't a standard 3-tier with a 6 inch top?

For smaller, 1–2 tier or intimate wedding cakes, a 12cm topper is usually the better fit. For a grand 4+ tier or banquet-scale cake, 18cm is designed to hold visual presence at that larger scale.

Does the topper come with a base made for cake placement?

Yes — our wedding cake topper line includes an integrated cake-insert base structure at no extra cost, distinct from the standalone display base used for a home-display couples figurine. See our wedding cake topper pricing breakdown for cost by size.

Can I get a size recommendation before ordering?

Yes — you can share your cake's tier count and top-tier diameter with us before ordering, and we'll confirm the right size in your free 3D design proof before anything is printed.
