## Services

### 3D printing for architecture students
- Page: https://modelixity.com/Order_sample.html
- Starting price: €9.90 (VAT included)
- Turnaround: 2–5 working days
- Summary: Upload an STL and the quote tool prices it immediately from volume, material, quality and infill. Architecture study models start at €9.90 and print in 2–5 working days, built around exam submission deadlines. If your file is not STL, or if the model has walls too thin to print, email info@modelixity.com — we fix the geometry before printing rather than handing you a broken model.

### Custom 3D statues from photos
- Page: https://modelixity.com/photo-statue-order.html
- Starting price: €39.90 (VAT included)
- Turnaround: 5–7 days
- Summary: Send a photo and we turn it into a 3D printed statue. A bust is €39.90 in white and €54.90 hand-painted; a full body is €59.90 in white and €79.90 hand-painted. You approve a 3D preview before we print, and revisions are included. Delivery in 5–7 days. All you need is one sharp, well-lit, front-facing photo — no 3D file required.

### 3D figures from children's drawings
- Page: https://modelixity.com/4urkids.html
- Starting price: €34.90 (VAT included)

## Frequently asked questions

### 3D Printing in Turin | Drawings, Statues & Models — Modelixity
**Q: How much does 3D printing cost in Turin?**
A: It depends on volume and material. An architecture study model starts at €9.90, a 3D figure from a child's drawing at €34.90, and a custom statue from a photo at €39.90. You can get an exact price in seconds by uploading your STL to our online quote tool, which calculates cost from real volume, material, quality and infill.

**Q: How long does a 3D print take to arrive?**
A: Architecture study models are ready in 2–5 working days, because we know exam submissions have fixed deadlines. Custom statues and figures from drawings take 5–7 days, since they include a 3D modelling stage and your approval of the preview before we print.

**Q: What file formats do you accept?**
A: We accept STL for the instant online quote. If your file is in another format (OBJ, 3MF, STEP, SKP, Rhino or a Revit export) email us at info@modelixity.com and we will convert it. For statues and figures from drawings you need no 3D file at all — a photograph is enough.

**Q: Which materials do you print in?**
A: Mainly PLA, PETG, ABS, TPU and resin. PLA is the default for architectural models and children's items because it is non-toxic, rigid and holds detail well. We use resin when maximum definition matters, for example on faces in custom statues.

**Q: Do you ship outside Italy?**
A: Yes, we ship across Italy and the European Union. If you are in Turin you can also arrange direct pickup by emailing us, which is the fastest option when an exam deadline is close.

**Q: Can I see the model before it is printed?**
A: Yes, and for statues and figures from drawings it is a required step. We send you a 3D preview and do not start printing until you approve it. Revisions are included, and unlimited on the Gold package.

**Q: Do you offer student discounts?**
A: Yes. Architecture and design students get a dedicated rate on study models, and group submissions for the same project are quoted together, which lowers the per-person cost. Email info@modelixity.com from your university address for the applicable rate.

### 3D Printing for Architecture Students in Turin | Exam Models in 2–5 Days
**Q: How much does it cost to 3D print an architecture model?**
A: Study models start at €9.90. The final price depends on the actual volume of the part, the material, and the print quality you choose, so a large competition model costs more than a construction detail. Upload your STL to the quote tool for an exact price — it is calculated from your file's real geometry, not estimated by eye.

**Q: How fast can I get a model if my deadline is in a few days?**
A: We print in 2–5 working days. If your deadline is tighter, email info@modelixity.com before ordering: in Turin, direct pickup removes shipping time and we can often turn work around in 48 hours. Telling us the submission date upfront is the single most useful thing you can do.

**Q: Which file formats do you accept besides STL?**
A: The instant quote works with STL. We also accept OBJ, 3MF, STEP, SKP, Rhino (.3dm) and Revit exports, but those are quoted manually — send them to info@modelixity.com and we reply with a price. Conversion is included, not charged as an extra.

**Q: What happens if my model has errors or walls that are too thin?**
A: We check every file before printing and tell you if something is unprintable. The most common problem in architectural models is walls under 0.8 mm — typical of slabs and window frames at 1:200 — which snap or fail to extrude at all. We propose a minimum thickening or a scale change and only proceed once you confirm, rather than shipping you a fragile part.

**Q: What is the best scale for a 3D printed architecture model?**
A: 1:100 and 1:200 are the most common for study and massing models, and 1:50 for construction details. The practical rule: at 1:200, check that no element falls below 0.8 mm of real thickness — if it does, either move up to 1:100 or selectively thicken the finest elements. Send us the file and we will tell you which scale holds up.

**Q: Which material should I choose for a study model?**
A: PLA in the large majority of cases: it is rigid, holds edges well, is inexpensive, and sands and paints easily. Choose PETG if the model will be transported a lot or exposed to heat, ABS if you need to glue and finish it with solvents, and resin only when you need very fine detail such as facade profiles or decorative elements.

**Q: Can the model be printed in several separate pieces?**
A: Yes, and it is often the right call for large models. Splitting lets you exceed the printer's maximum volume, use different colours for context and building, and transport the model disassembled. Note it in the order comments, or send us the file and we will propose a sensible split.

**Q: Do you offer a student rate?**
A: Yes. Email info@modelixity.com from your university address with your course and institution. Group submissions for the same project are quoted as a single order, which lowers the cost per student considerably compared to separate orders.

**Q: How does the online 3D preview work?**
A: When you upload an STL the viewer opens it directly in your browser, so you can rotate and inspect it to confirm it is the right file and correctly oriented. It exists to prevent the most common and most expensive mistake: discovering only after printing that you uploaded an old version of the model.

### Custom 3D Statue from Your Photo | Bust & Full Body — Modelixity
**Q: How much does a custom 3D statue cost?**
A: A bust is €39.90 in the plain white version and €54.90 hand-painted. A full body is €59.90 in white and €79.90 hand-painted. Prices include VAT; shipping is calculated at checkout.

**Q: What kind of photo do I need for a 3D statue?**
A: A sharp, well-lit photo with the face front-on. Avoid sunglasses, hats covering the forehead, strong side lighting, and blurry or heavily compressed images — those reduce likeness the most. If you have several photos of the same person from different angles, send them all, as they noticeably improve the result.

**Q: How long does the statue take?**
A: About 5–7 days from preview approval. That covers 3D modelling, your review, printing and — if you chose the painted version — hand painting, which adds a day or two.

**Q: Can I see the statue before it is printed?**
A: Yes, and it is a required step. We send you a 3D preview of the model and do not print until you approve it. If something looks off, ask for a change — revisions are included in the price.

**Q: Should I choose the white or the hand-painted version?**
A: It depends on the effect you want. White looks more sculptural and emphasises form and volume, like a plaster figurine. The hand-painted version is more immediately recognisable because it reproduces skin tone, hair and clothing, so it tends to work better as a gift.

**Q: Can you make a statue of two people together, or of a pet?**
A: Yes. Couples, families and pets are among our most frequent requests. Multiple subjects in one statue are quoted individually because volume and modelling time change — email info@modelixity.com with the photo and we will send a price.

**Q: How big is the statue?**
A: The bust is sized to sit on a desk or shelf, and the full body is proportionally taller. If you have a specific height in mind — to match a frame or a display case, for instance — note it in the order comments and we will adapt the scale.

**Q: What if the statue does not look like the photo?**
A: That is exactly why the preview comes before printing. If the likeness does not convince you at preview stage, tell us what to correct and we revise the model before producing anything. It is the reason we never print without approval.

### Turn Your Child's Drawing into a 3D Figure | Personalised Kids' Gift — Modelixity
**Q: How much does it cost to turn a drawing into a 3D figure?**
A: One drawing is €34.90, two are €49.90 and three are €69.90. Every package includes a digital preview and at least one free revision; the three-drawing Gold package adds unlimited revisions, a gift box and priority shipping. Prices include VAT.

**Q: Is the material safe for children?**
A: We print in PLA, a plant-based, non-toxic, BPA-free plastic, which is why we use it for everything intended for children. That said, a printed figure is an object to display and handle rather than a certified toy for children under three, because fine parts can break off.

**Q: What kind of drawing works best?**
A: Drawings with closed, defined outlines and a recognisable shape — characters, animals, vehicles, invented creatures — translate best into three dimensions. Very simple drawings work fine too: your child does not need to draw well, the figure just needs to be readable. Very faint or light pencil drawings are the only ones that cause real difficulty.

**Q: How long does it take to arrive?**
A: Around 5–7 days. That covers 3D modelling of the drawing, your approval of the preview, printing, and — if you chose the painted version — hand painting.

**Q: Should I choose pre-painted or the paint-it-yourself kit?**
A: If you want a gift that is ready to hand over, pre-painted by our team is the simpler choice. If you want your child to stay involved, the white model with a paint kit turns delivery into an activity: they paint their own creation. Parents with several children often order one of each.

**Q: How big is the 3D figure?**
A: Figures are sized to sit comfortably in a hand and on a shelf. The exact proportion depends on the shape of the drawing, because a tall narrow character and a short wide one are scaled differently to stand up stably.

**Q: Can I order drawings from several different children?**
A: Yes, and it is one of the most common uses of the Duo and Gold packages: siblings, twins or cousins, each with their own drawing and figure. Each drawing is modelled separately and you can choose different colours for each.

**Q: What if I do not like the preview?**
A: Tell us and we revise it. Revisions are included in every package and we do not start printing before your approval, so there is no risk of receiving something that does not match what you expected.

### Shop | 3D Printed Design Objects — Modelixity 3D Turin
**Q: How long does a shop item take to arrive?**
A: Typically 2–4 working days. Shop items are finished designs, so you skip the 3D modelling stage that statues and figures from drawings require. If you are in Turin you can also arrange direct pickup.

**Q: What material are the objects printed in?**
A: Mostly PLA, a plant-based plastic that is non-toxic, rigid and holds detail well. Each piece lists its specific material on its card, along with dimensions and shipping time.

**Q: Can I request a different colour from the one shown?**
A: In most cases yes. The photo shows the standard combination, but email info@modelixity.com before ordering with the piece and the colour you want and we will confirm availability.

**Q: What happens if a piece is sold out?**
A: Sold-out items stay visible but cannot be added to the cart. Because we print in-house, most pieces come back within a few days — message us for the expected date, or we can print one to order.

**Q: What is the difference between the shop and custom printing?**
A: In the shop you buy a finished design at a fixed price with fast shipping. With custom printing you upload your own STL and get a quote calculated from the model's real volume. If you have your own file, use the custom printing page; if you want a finished object now, the shop is the right choice.

**Q: How does payment work?**
A: Add the pieces you want to the cart, then enter your shipping details and pay by PayPal or card via Stripe. The total is always recalculated server-side at payment time, so the price you pay is the real catalogue price.

### Contact | 3D Printing in Turin, Italy — Modelixity 3D
**Q: How do I request a custom quote?**
A: Email info@modelixity.com with your file or a photo attached, and tell us the material, scale and the date you need it by. If you have an STL you can also get a price instantly from the online quote tool without waiting for a reply.

**Q: How quickly do you reply?**
A: Usually within one working day. If you have a tight deadline, say so in the email subject — requests with a stated delivery date get looked at first.

**Q: Can I collect my order in Turin?**
A: Yes. Direct pickup removes shipping time and is the fastest option when a deadline is close. Arrange it by emailing us before you order so we can plan the timing.
