Corporate New Year Gifts: 3D Printing and Digital Craft
With the arrival of October, we have officially entered the busiest and most exciting season at the Formasupra studio. As our 3D printers work around the clock and new designs transition from the screen to the physical world, we have one question on our minds: How can we make corporate connections more meaningful this New Year?
Corporate gifts are a tangible reflection of the value you place on your business partners or colleagues. However, instead of the repetitive, standard planners or mugs that are quickly shelved and forgotten year after year, presenting designs that tell a story and earn a special place on a desk showcases your brand's vision. This is exactly where Formasupra steps in with our "digital craft" approach.
Digital Craft and Collectible Value We don't just manufacture an object; we give it an identity. Digital craft merges traditional design sensibilities with today's digital production tools. Our goal is to ensure every gifted item evokes the feeling of a "collectible." Even a simple object used in daily life transforms into a cherished aesthetic piece that one cannot bear to throw away when designed with the right form and texture.
What is 3D Printing and PLA? The production methods and materials we use to bring our designs to life form the foundation of our story. If you are unfamiliar with these concepts, let us summarize the process in its simplest terms:
3D Printing (Three-Dimensional Production): This is the process of transforming a three-dimensional digital design prepared in a computer environment into a physical, tangible object by building it layer by layer using specialized printers. This technology eliminates mold costs, allowing us to create forms entirely bespoke to a brand.
What is PLA?: We predominantly use PLA (Polylactic Acid) as our 3D printing material. Unlike standard petrochemical-derived plastics, PLA is a bio-based material sourced from renewable plant resources like corn starch and sugarcane. This means that while presenting an aesthetic and modern gift, you are also making an eco-friendly choice by the very nature of the material.

What Can We Produce Together? To date, we have crafted innovative New Year gift projects and corporate collaborations with pioneering brands in their respective sectors, such as Oakberry, Dyson, Müzeden Al, Club Marvy, Snob Collector, and Homemade. We have developed forms and concepts tailored to the unique DNA of each brand.
Some of the design product groups we offer for corporate collaborations include:
Custom bookmarks shaped around the brand's logo or mascot
Detailed charms with a story, perfect for accessorizing bags or keychains
Sculptural pen holders that add an aesthetic touch to workspaces
Organic-lined mini planters for office plants and desktop organizers
If you want to bypass standardized catalog products and transform your brand's story into a physical object through the possibilities of digital craft, you are invited to our studio during this busy yet highly enjoyable production season.
