What works, and where the limits are

  • Toys are printed in PLA or PETG. PETG is tougher and handles knocks better; PLA gives crisp detail and the widest color range.
  • Print-in-place and articulated designs work well. Upload a 3MF with your settings so every production center prints it the way you tested it.
  • Painting and hand finishing are not offered, so design for the look straight off the printer, using color choice and multi-part designs.
Product safety

Safety labels, built in

When you choose Toys & Games as your product's category, 3DAPI shows the matching safety information on your product page, and you can attach your compliance documents to the product. They are shown to buyers once our team has reviewed them.

Board Game Accessories & Inserts

Action Figures & Dolls

  • Warning. Not suitable for children under 36 months. Small parts. Choking hazard.

Selling into the EU

This category requires CE marking.

  • Declaration of Conformity (DoC)
  • EN 71 (Toy Safety Standards)
  • Material Chemical Testing

Age grading depends on the item. Toys for children under 3 need the strictest testing.

Meeting the product safety rules of the markets you sell into is the seller's responsibility. The labels above help you communicate them; they are not a certification.

Toys & Games, answered

Are 3D printed toys safe for children?

That depends on the design, the age group and the market. Toys sold in the EU need CE marking, a Declaration of Conformity, EN 71 testing and material chemical testing. Meeting the toy safety rules where you sell is the seller's responsibility; 3DAPI shows the matching safety warnings on your product page and lets you attach your documents to the product.

Which materials are toys printed in?

PLA or PETG, in a standard range of colors, or a specific brand and color you choose. PETG offers extra impact resistance for toys that get thrown around.

Is there a minimum order?

No. Each toy is printed when it sells, so there is no minimum order and no upfront production run.

Can I sell toys based on licensed characters?

Only if you own the design or hold the license to sell it. 3DAPI does not provide rights to branded or third-party characters.
