Custom CAD Design & 3D Printing Services
Looking to bring your board game ideas to life or upgrade your favorite games with premium, functional components? I specialize in custom CAD design and 3D printing for game pieces, inserts, organizers, towers, holders, shields, and accessories that enhance gameplay, durability, and storage.
Whether you're a game designer needing prototypes, a publisher seeking deluxe upgrades, or a player wanting personalized enhancements, I can turn concepts into high-quality, ready-to-print or manufacture parts.
Key Areas of Expertise:
- Deluxified Custom Game Pieces & Components — Fully custom 3D models such as tokens, miniatures, organizers, towers, holders, shields, and more. Designed specifically for 3D printing (e.g., using PLA or PETG), with precise attention to detail, perfect fit, and snap-together assemblies.
- Board Game Inserts — Design or upgrade inserts for superior organization and protection. Replace flimsy cardboard with sturdy, printed trays, dividers, and compartments that make setup and tear down faster for smoother gameplay. I'm keenly aware of sleeved card compatibility and optimized storage such that components can be easily removed and stored without issue.
A Few Iconic Projects I've Designed:
- Kaiyoot Game Shield — A robust, snap-together shield that replaces thin cardboard versions in hidden-information games (e.g., Keyflower, Yellow & Yangtze). It stores flat, assembles quickly with secure snaps, and keeps player secrets hidden—no more tipping disasters! I also created a Print And Play (PnP) version of it.
- Edge Of Darkness Enhancements — A 5-piece snap-on upgrade for the Edge of Darkness tower base. It provides larger, more reliable ledges for the sleeved cards, prevents drops, and neatly stores inside the tower when not in use. I also made an acrylic health tracker to prevent the health markers from being knocked over.
- CAD Work From 2D to Full 3D — Convert Orthographic CAD drawings, blueprints, or technical sketches into precise 3D models. For example, I've taken customers' custom Orthographic drawings and created accurate 3D models which are then prepared for individual part cutting on industrial CNC's.
- Laser Cutting for Acrylic & Neoprene — Access to high-precision laser cutting for clear/colored acrylic (ideal for deluxe tokens, trays, holders, enclosures, or translucent game pieces) and neoprene (perfect for custom padded mats, mousepads, or protective game surfaces). Designs are optimized for clean cuts, tight tolerances, and material-specific features like engraving or edge finishing. Great for prototypes, production runs, or hybrid projects combining laser-cut parts with 3D printed elements.
- Wood Projects & Modular Furniture — Available for woodworking designs like the IBAIM Shelf (It's Big And It's Moveable)—an IKEA-style, fully disassemblable and reassemblable shelf system. Perfect for board game storage, easy to break down, transport, and reconfigure in any room. There is also a corner version!
All designs are created in professional CAD software and optimized for your preferred production method (3D printing, laser cutting, CNC, woodworking, etc.). Options include prototypes, production-ready files, or one-off/custom fabrication.
