Custom Cookie Cutters


With my 3D printer we can make any shape into a cookie cutter.
The sky or your imagination is the limit. From sigils like game of thrones, the batman sign, a logo or letters, to your littles nieces scribbles on the wall we make cookie cutter from it.
For more inspiration look here: Thingiverse: Cookie cutters

 


Very popular last year, the Stark wolf from Game of Thrones

Get your own in 3 easy steps

Step 1: You choose a picture, drawing or form.


We can use almost anything to make our shape. The less colors and the simples the shape the easier we can extract the shape.
We can even scan a drawing from you.




The same wolf as finished cookie cutter.

Step 2: Magic and some code.


I have a script ready which allows me to easily transform your picture into information for the 3D printer.










Special order: Rocket from Guardians of the galaxy.

Step 3: Print it.


The printer handles the rest a normal sized form takes around 1 hour to finish, so we can fulfill last minute orders as well. Your welcome to have a look while its made.
Cookies are of course not the only use for these shapes. You can you it as a stencil for spraying or painting or use it as a mold for pouring silicone.



  
Even in tough and chewy croissant dough, the shape comes through.


Practical things:

  • In order to get a good cookie long, thin or ragged pieces will make it hard for the cookie to bake evenly.
  • The material I'm using is called PLA (poly lactic acid) its used in a lot of food packaging and is non reactive. I've been using it in my kitchen for years. However its not dishwasher safe as its starts getting soft at around 70°C. I can not be held responsible for your safety and/or improper use.
  • If you are unsure about safety google the topic and make an informed choice. Here is a short article about the topic PLA and food safety
