About PartDrop
A one-maker workshop in Tauranga.
PartDrop turns the photos you love into solid 3D-printed keepsakes. The modelling is done by AI - the making is done by a person, on a real printer, in a real workshop in Tauranga, Bay of Plenty.
Why we make these
Some photos deserve more than a camera roll. The dog who grew up with your kids. The two of you outside the church. The thing your dad built. A photo keeps the memory - a keepsake gives it weight. Something that sits on a shelf, gets picked up, gets handed around. That's the whole idea.
How your keepsake gets made
- 1
You send one photo
A clear phone photo is all it takes - no scanning, no CAD.
- 2
AI sculpts the model
Our 3D engine turns the photo into a printable model. You see it - and the exact NZD price - before paying a cent.
- 3
It prints in Tauranga
Layer by layer on a modern 3D printer - one solid colour, or a few colour bands if you chose them - then checked by hand. If we can't make it beautifully, you're fully refunded.
- 4
It ships NZ-wide
Boxed and couriered anywhere in New Zealand, packed like the gift it is.
What we stand behind
- · Price before payment. You approve the model and the exact price first - no surprises.
- · Hand-checked. Every print is inspected before it ships; misprints never leave the workshop.
- · Fully refunded if we can't deliver. If a photo won't make a good model, we say so - and you don't pay.
- · Made in New Zealand. Modelled, printed, packed and posted from Tauranga.
