The process
Every order goes through the same six steps.
We don't warehouse stock. Every MadeDear object is printed the day it's ordered, in the colour, material and personalisation you chose.
Step 01
Choose
Pick a piece from our shop, or upload a photo on the Create page. Every product page shows dimensions, materials, weight and honest print time.
Step 02
Instant 3D preview
Personalise text, colour and material. If you uploaded a photo, get an instant 3D preview you can rotate and approve yourself — no back-and-forth with an artist.
Step 03
Studio review
Every design is studio-reviewed before production, and every finished piece is inspected by hand before it leaves our studio. Nothing enters the print queue until it passes.
Step 04
Studio prints
Your order joins the print queue the day you approve the preview. We print in PLA on FDM machines — nothing warehoused, everything on demand.
Step 05
Hand-finish
Every print is deburred, sanded and sealed by hand — this is where the machine's texture becomes a made object.
Step 06
Ship & deliver
Standard ships in 3–7 business days after preview approval; our fastest option (Rush) ships in 3 business days. Your ship-by date and the carrier's estimated delivery window are shown at checkout.
