The problem
Miniature collectors — from Warhammer to tabletop RPGs — invest dozens of hours painting each piece. But when it comes to transporting or storing them, the only options are bad ones: generic foam and boxes never designed for that shape. One drop or a wrong squeeze destroys months of work.
It's a global market of millions of passionate hobbyists with no practical custom-fit protection — because making a perfect fit for each piece, one by one, has always been too expensive and too artisanal to scale.
The solution
MyMiniCase automates exactly that. The user uploads the 3D model of their miniature and, in seconds, gets a protective case shaped to the exact silhouette of the piece — ready to print on any home 3D printer.
What used to require a designer and hours of manual modeling became an instant, self-service process. The fit is perfect because it's generated from the piece itself, not from a generic mold.
The innovation
- Mass personalization at zero production cost. Every case is unique, yet generated automatically — combining the customization of craftsmanship with the scale of software.
- Privacy by default. All processing happens in the user's own browser: the model is never uploaded to a server. Fast, secure and frictionless.
- Global reach from day one. Available in three languages, with international payments and 100% digital delivery — anyone, anywhere, generates and prints on the spot.
The outcome
A complete product live at myminicase.com: from the generation experience to payment, ready to serve collectors worldwide — run lean, with infrastructure cost close to zero until the first sale.
From idea to a sellable product: conceived, designed and built end to end.
