How are
3D cast medals made?

3D casting is not printing — it's a craft. We answer the questions we most often hear from organisers before their first order.

What kind of event are 3D cast medals suitable for?

3D cast medals belong at events where prestige is part of the setting. An industry award gala, the anniversary of a company with decades of tradition, a national race with a history going back several decades, a tournament with a long heritage — this is the environment in which a heavy ZNAL alloy casting makes the right impression. When a participant holds the medal and feels the depth of the relief with a finger, they know right away that they have received an award that is taken seriously.

What distinguishes 3D relief from engraving or printing?

In 3D casting the die builds a true three-dimensional shape — elements rise above the surface of the medal and cast their own shadows. We can reproduce a human face with its characteristic expression, the architectural detail of an iconic building, a sculpture of an animal or any spatial form. Engraving cuts into the surface, UV printing lies flat on it — 3D casting creates a sculpture. The effect is tangible: every contour of the design can be felt under your finger.

How should I prepare a design for 3D casting?

You don't need to come with a finished 3D model. We accept designs in any form — from precise CAD documentation to a sketch on paper with a verbal description. Our graphic designer translates the idea into production documentation, prepares a visualisation of the medal and sends it for approval. Only after the design is approved do we make the die. The graphic design is completely free — you can revise it until you are fully satisfied.

How long does 3D cast medal production take?

The standard lead time is 6–7 working days from design approval. The first order requires making a die, which fits within this time. For repeat orders of the same design, production is faster — the die is already ready. For urgent deadlines tied to the date of a race or gala — call us and we will discuss express options from 24 hours. Minimum order: 25 pieces.

Frequently asked questions
about 3D cast medals

Yes — 3D casting can reproduce a human face with great accuracy. We prepare the design from the customer's photo or description, creating a spatial relief. This technique is used for honorary medals, anniversary awards and personal distinctions. Each portrait requires an individual die, which we make before starting the run.
We typically achieve a relief of 1 to 6 mm — enough for elements to cast their own shadows and be clearly felt with a finger. With architectural details or spatial sports motifs the depth effect is very pronounced. We agree the final parameters with the graphic designer when designing the die, matching the depth of the relief to the size and complexity of the design.
ZNAL alloy (zinc + aluminium) contains no nickel — the element responsible for most allergic reactions to metals. After electroplating, the outer layer additionally isolates the alloy from contact with the skin. If you have particular health requirements, let us know — we will choose a suitable finish that prevents direct contact.
The die is a steel mould in which every medal is shaped. We make it by CNC milling or laser engraving on the basis of the approved graphic design or 3D model. The die is a one-off cost with the first order. For repeat orders of the same design the die is ready — production is faster and cheaper.
Yes. We make our own wooden boxes with a foam insert cut to the shape of the medal — especially popular for corporate galas, anniversaries and prestigious awards. We also have other solutions — e.g. cases and gift packaging. A box increases the perceived value of the award and turns the moment of presentation into a ceremony in itself. Ask about the available packaging options when placing your order.
Electroplated medals are best stored in a closed box or case, away from moisture. A soft, dry cloth is all you need for cleaning — avoid abrasives and water with detergent, which can wear down the plating. Medals with UV printing are particularly resistant to abrasion. With proper care, a medal keeps its full shine for many years.
Yes — before full production we can make a single sample for approval. The sample lets you assess the quality of the casting, the plating and how faithful it is to the design before we start the whole run. This option is especially recommended for prestigious orders, where every detail must be perfect. Contact us to discuss the terms for making a prototype.
