League and fantasy trophies
Fantasy football comes up a lot. So do hockey and office leagues. If the trophy gets handed down every year, tell us and we’ll leave room on the base for future winners.
3D printed trophies / New York
Custom 3D printed trophies, made from your idea.
PrintAWorld makes custom 3D printed trophies in New York. Tell us what the award is for and what you’re picturing; a rough sketch is fine. We turn it into a 3D model, print it here in New York, and finish it in paint or metal with the winner’s name on the base. Trophies start at $250 each, there’s no minimum, and we ship anywhere in the U.S.
You’ll hear back from a real person. No account needed.

Why 3D print a trophy
Because a trophy doesn’t have to be a cup.
Most trophies start as a stock cup or column, and the only custom part is the plate with your name on it. Ours start with whatever the award is actually about: the company mascot, your product, a duck if that’s the joke. We model that, print it, and it becomes the trophy.
Selected work
01 / THE WORKA few 3D printed trophies we’ve made.
Case study · Formic
A robot arm award for a company that installs robot arms.
PrintAWorld made 10 robot-arm awards for Formic using five fabrication processes, and shipped them 17 days after Formic approved the design.
Formic puts industrial robots to work in factories. For its 2026 customer and partner awards, it wanted the trophy to be the thing it’s known for: a six-axis robot arm, in Formic’s own orange and black.
It took five of our processes under one roof. We sent Formic a concept rendering the same day they reached out, then prepared the 3D file for printing and designed the mount that attaches the arm to its base. Each arm was printed in resin, painted to Formic’s RAL colors, and clear-coated, and the Formic graphics on it were UV printed onto the part. The base is 3D printed too, and weighted so the award feels solid in your hand. The Formic logo plate on the front was laser cut and UV printed, and each base carries a name plate for its winner.
Because the bases are heavy, we shipped the arms off their bases so nothing could knock them around in transit, with the screws and an Allen key in the box.

What people ask us for
02 / THE OCCASIONThe trophies we get asked for most.
Sales and company awards
The company mascot or your product, made into the trophy itself. These work well for sales clubs and lifetime achievement awards.
Tournaments
Golf, tennis, futsal, gaming. Sometimes it’s one championship trophy. Sometimes it’s a matching set for every division.
Events and fundraisers
Chili cook-offs, hackathons, conferences, charity drives. The kind of event where the trophy ends up in all the photos.
Copies and minis
A desk-sized copy of a trophy you already won, or of a landmark object. We can work from photos or scan the original.
About 3D scanningPlaques
Wall plaques with raised logos and lettering, painted or finished in metal.
How it’s built
03 / THE BUILDHow a 3D printed trophy is made.
Sculpted forms
Anything with real depth, like a figure or a mascot, gets modeled in 3D and printed in resin. Then it’s sanded smooth so the paint or plating goes on clean.
How SLA resin printing worksFlat and layered designs
Wordmarks and layered logos usually come out better cut from acrylic on the laser. It’s quicker and the edges are crisp. We’ll tell you which route makes sense for yours.
See laser cuttingBases and names
Most trophies sit on wood, acrylic, or a printed base. Each winner’s name goes on the front, engraved or printed.

04 / THE FINISHPaint it your colors, or plate it in metal.
Plating puts a thin metal layer over the printed piece. It looks like metal, but the trophy isn’t solid metal underneath, and not every shape plates well, so we check each design first. About metal plating
Pricing$250 per trophy to start.
05 / THE PRICE$250 per trophy to start.
Size and finish decide the rest.

Make one.
Or make one for every category.
There’s no minimum order, and a lot of what we make is a single trophy: a league championship, a retirement, a once-a-year honor.
For an awards night, we can use one design across every category and change the name, title, and date on each piece. Tell us how many categories and winners you have.

We model and make it
Once you approve, we build the 3D model, then print it, sand it, paint or plate it, and add the names. If the job includes a sample, you see that first.

It ships
We pack it for the trip and send it anywhere in the U.S. Or pick it up at our New York studio by appointment.
Shipped or picked up
Award nights don’t get rescheduled for a late trophy, so put your event date in your first message. A month or more of lead time leaves room for revisions and finishing. Your written quote confirms the scope, price, minimum, and schedule before we start.
“Incredibly fast, reliable and high quality!!! Thank you Jerry and the whole team for helping me out of a jam at the very last minute and creating beautiful trophies for my awards night.”
Before we start
What people ask before ordering.
Do I need a 3D file to order a 3D printed trophy?
No. Most people send a sketch or a photo, and we build the 3D model from that. You’ll see renders before anything gets printed. If you do have a file, send it as an STL, OBJ, or STEP.
Is there a trophy builder or generator I can use?
You don’t need one. Describe what you want, or send a rough sketch, and we’ll design it with you. If you’ve already made something in a trophy generator or a CAD program, send the file and we’ll check whether it can be printed and finished as it is.
How much does a custom 3D printed trophy cost?
Trophies start at $250 each. Most are a standard 8 to 12 inches tall, painted resin, and land between $250 and $750. Metal plating, gold, and complex multi-color work run $750 to $2,000 or more, and anything 16 inches or taller starts at $1,500. There is also a $350 fee for the 3D modeling and design, and the concept mockup is free. Your written quote confirms the exact price before anything starts.
Can you make just one trophy?
Yes. There is no minimum order, so one trophy is fine. We get asked for single trophies all the time.
What are 3D printed trophies made of?
The sculpted parts are resin, printed in high detail and then sanded and painted or plated. Flat lettering and layered logos are usually laser-cut acrylic. Bases tend to be wood or acrylic.
Do 3D printed trophies look cheap?
A raw print can. That’s why everything we make gets sanded, primed, and painted or plated. If you want to see a finish up close before you decide, ask and we’ll send examples.
How far ahead should I order a custom trophy?
As soon as you know the date. A month or more gives us room for revisions and finishing. If you’re tighter than that, ask anyway and we’ll tell you what’s possible.
Can you make a perpetual trophy with room for future winners?
Yes. Tell us at the start and we’ll design the base with room for name plates, so each year’s winner can be added.
Is a gold-plated trophy solid metal?
No. Plating puts a thin metal layer over the printed piece, so it looks like metal but isn’t solid metal underneath. Not every shape plates well, so we check each design before quoting it.
Do you sell stock or catalog trophies?
No. Everything we make is designed for one project. If you need a hundred identical medals for a few dollars each, a catalog trophy shop will serve you better.
Do you deliver?
Yes, anywhere in the U.S. You can also pick up from our New York studio by appointment.

What should your trophy look like?
Send whatever you have and the date you need it by. Someone on our team will write back with questions and options. A phone photo of a napkin sketch is plenty.
