Case Study: Hero Forge achieves personalized full-color 3D printed miniatures with Shapeways

Hero Forge - Customer Case Study

Hero Forge, a tabletop gaming company, wanted to make custom miniatures easier and more accessible for players through a web-based design experience. The challenge was creating highly personalized, full-color figures while managing the technical complexity of 3D printing and production at scale, so they partnered with ShapeWays for manufacturing and fulfillment.

ShapeWays provided end-to-end digital manufacturing, using its API, global supply chain, and full-color 3D printing capabilities to produce Hero Forge’s miniatures and ship them worldwide with customized packaging. The partnership helped Hero Forge bring a highly intuitive customization platform to market, expand its part library with thousands of assets, and serve more than one million customers worldwide, with over 20 million parts produced across 10 technologies and 90 materials and finishes.
