Our Story
Urban Frames began with a single idea: create something truly unique for close friends who were getting married. What started as a personal gift project—a 3D printed city model of where the couple first met—became an unexpectedly rewarding journey from the initial concept, through 3D modeling and printing, to hand-finishing the frame. The joy of seeing our friends receive something so personal and meaningful inspired us to share this experience with others.
We believe that every city holds personal memories—the neighborhood where you grew up, the café where you had your first date, the park where you got engaged, or simply the view from your apartment. Our 3D printed city models capture these meaningful places in beautiful frames that transform geographical data into personal stories you can display on your wall.
Based in Bucharest, Romania, Urban Frames has grown from that first wedding gift into a passionate team of designers and creators. Each piece we make carries the same care and attention that went into that original gift—because we understand that you're not just buying a decoration, you're preserving a memory that matters.
Our Mission
At Urban Frames, our mission is simple: help you preserve meaningful connections to the places that shaped your life. Whether it's your hometown, the city where you studied abroad, or where you started your family—we bring those places into your home through beautifully crafted 3D printed models.
We ship throughout Europe with fast, reliable delivery from our Bucharest workshop. Since every piece is made to order, we can ensure exceptional quality while keeping production sustainable.
Sustainability matters to us. We use PLA—a biodegradable material derived from renewable resources—and produce only what's ordered, minimizing waste. Each frame is crafted with the same thoughtfulness that went into that very first wedding gift.
Our Process
Each 3D City Relief is the result of a meticulous process that combines technology, craftsmanship, and attention to detail:
Data Collection
We source high-resolution topographical data from official geographical databases, ensuring accuracy and detail in every map.
3D Modeling
Our designers transform raw data into optimized 3D models, enhancing features and ensuring printability while maintaining geographical accuracy.
Precision Printing
Using state-of-the-art FDM 3D printers, we carefully print each relief layer by layer with premium materials like PLA, PETG, and specialty filaments.
Finishing & Quality Control
Each piece is carefully finished, inspected for quality, and mounted in a custom frame before being packaged and shipped to you.
Our Team
Our team brings together diverse expertise in 3D printing, design, geography, and craftsmanship. We're a group of passionate individuals who believe in the power of tangible art to create emotional connections with the places we love.
