Have you ever wanted to create your own templates or craft products because you couldn't find what you wanted in stores or online? But do you already have this great idea in mind?
This is one of the things that inspires us to create. It got us thinking about the many possibilities and uses of 3D printers for crafts. Could this make your crafting easier and/or save you time? We thought it would be worth it to at least tell you about these very cool technological discoveries.
What is 3D printing?
It is the layered printing of 3D objects by using various materials (e.g. plastic, wax, SLA resin, metal, etc.). Think, for example, of prototypes such as molds, scaled models such as buildings, prosthetics and dental products. You design using CAD (Computer Aided Design) software.
Using 3D printing to make artifacts
There are several items 3D printers are great for entrepreneurs or serious DIY artisans, or even artisans who love technology. Here are some 3D printer ideas for artisans to get you thinking about whether this is something you'd like to invest in for the future.
Stamps
If you love stamps and have a large collection, and want to design your own custom stamps. With 3D printing software, you can easily design custom stamps that can be used for a variety of projects, including embossing to bring all the different paper projects like scrapbooking and card making to life.
Decorating
Have you seen a design online that you would like to use as a decoration? Plus, you can add these embellishments to paper and fabric projects.
Stencils: Do you want a custom designed tile that you can put on your front walkway?
Templates
Do you want a custom designed tile that you can place on your front walkway? Do you like to make ceramics? Stencils always come in handy for craft projects of all sizes. With 3D printers for artisans, you can make stencils of different sizes with intricate details.

As mentioned above, 3D printing can be done with a variety of materials. Home decor: If you are a DIYer who likes to decorate, you will be surprised at the number of jewelry items you can create.
Home Decor
If you're a DIYer who likes to decorate, you'll be surprised at the number of items you can create. Examples include botanical vases, photo frames, decorative wall art, drink coasters and key holders.
Painting
Do you like to draw? 3D pens are perfect for drawing your own custom designs. These pens are largely advertised as children's crafts or toys, but they are definitely suitable for artists of all ages and skill levels. With pens, it's another easy way to create decorations for most of your craft work.
Storage Containers
Finally, a 3D printer for crafters will help them store all of their newly added craft tools. Seeing as we need to store our stamps, embellishments and templates, our 3D printer is also perfect for that.
Should I buy a 3D printer?
When deciding if 3D printing is right for you, we think it's important to ask yourself what you'll be using it for. Are you going to use it for your business? Would it be a good return on investment? We do think there will be more research to learn how to use it effectively.
Finally, if you're just curious about the technology and want to learn about all the hot topics, then we'd say start with the 3D pen. There are all kinds of projects out there, and lots of cool ones to do. This is really a cool creation that shouldn't limit your imagination.
Overall, it's great to see all the DIY things you can do with 3D printers for crafts. We love exploring technology and new things that can help us in our crafting journey.
