From a photo to your door, step by step
PartDrop turns a photo into a 3D-printed keepsake - made to order in New Zealand. Here's exactly how it works, and why you never pay until you've seen your model and your price.
Upload your photo
A single clear photo of your pet, partner, a couple or a memory is all we need to begin.
We generate your 3D model
Our AI turns your photo into a 3D model. You see it rendered before anything is printed.
You approve the model and the price
Nothing is printed and nothing is charged until you've seen your 3D model and the exact NZD price and said yes.
We 3D print it in New Zealand
Once approved, we print your keepsake on our FDM printers here in NZ - no overseas wait, no customs.
We ship it to your door
We post your finished keepsake to you anywhere in New Zealand by courier.
Frequently asked questions
How does PartDrop work?
You upload a photo, our AI turns it into a 3D model, and you see a preview of your model and the exact NZD price before you pay. Once you approve it, we 3D print it on our FDM printers here in New Zealand and ship it to your door. Nothing is charged until you've approved your model and price.
Can you make a figurine from a photo?
Yes - a photo is all we need. Upload a clear photo of your pet, your partner, a couple, or a memory and we generate a 3D model from it. A well-lit, front-on photo where the subject fills the frame gives the best result, but you can preview and approve the model before anything is printed.
How much does a custom 3D-printed keepsake cost?
Pricing is by size and includes NZ shipping. Typical totals are small $27–55, medium $55–90, large $90–140, xl $140–210 NZD. Price moves within each size with the actual object - a solid, chunky shape uses more material and printer time than a slender one - so the range matters more than the starting figure. Premium materials such as PETG, ASA, PC or TPU add a surcharge, and you always see your exact price before you pay.
How long does delivery take in New Zealand?
Because everything is made to order, your keepsake is printed after you approve your model, then delivered anywhere in New Zealand by courier. If you have a gift or occasion deadline, message us first and we'll let you know what's possible.
Can you make a pet memorial keepsake?
Yes. Many people order a PartDrop keepsake to remember a pet they've lost. Send us a favourite photo and we'll create a 3D-printed figurine of them so you have something lasting to hold onto. We treat these orders with care and you can approve the model before it's printed.
Is my photo kept private?
Your photo is used only to create your 3D model and fulfil your order. We don't sell your photos or share them publicly without your permission. You can read the full details in our privacy policy.
