What we brought
What we can do
Artwork made for the person
We drew the artwork for this gift: a two-tier party cake, a Happy Birthday sign and the words the client asked for underneath.
How we look after you
Printed in full colour on clear acrylic
The cake is UV printed straight onto the clear panel, so the picture seems to float inside the frame.
What you get
Made the same day
The design was chosen at lunchtime, and the plaque was printed, assembled and packed for collection by the end of the day.

- Piece
- One Arc Series plaque
- Panel
- A5 clear acrylic, UV printed
- Our scope
- The artwork and layout, printing, cutting and assembly
At Additive Inn, our 3D printing studio in Singapore, we made a one-off birthday plaque for a private client in our Arc Series. The client wanted a party cake picture with the words Forever 28 under it, and needed the gift quickly.
Two designs to choose from
Step 2 of 5 · 06/05/2026
We made the artwork and laid it out on the panel in two designs. The client chose the second, with the lettering set a little smaller against the cake, and we kept it at a size that would still print clearly.
Cutting, printing and the frame
Step 3 of 5 · 06/05/2026
We laser cut the A5 clear acrylic panel and UV printed the artwork on it in full colour: the cake, its Happy Birthday sign and the Forever 28 lettering. The black Arc Series frame was 3D printed the same day.
Build and assembly
Step 4 of 5 · 06/05/2026
The panel slots into the black Arc Series frame, which holds it at the top and along the curved base, so the plaque stands on a desk or a shelf.
The final build
Step 5 of 5 · 06/05/2026
The plaque was printed and assembled by the end of the day and packed for the client, who collected it the next morning.
