Willi the Raccoon comes to life: A custom mascot from the 3D printer

A visit to the dentist is often associated with excitement or even fear, especially for children. Willi changes that!

From mascot to three-dimensional figure

Creating a custom mascot as a three-dimensional figure requires far more than just an ordinary 3D print. It is crucial that the character, expression, and recognizability of the original design are preserved in the finished object. After all, Willi the Raccoon shouldn't just look like any raccoon; he needed to become the exact Willi the children already knew and would recognize instantly.

Using our large-format 3D printing, we first created the basic shape of the figure. Willi was then carefully processed in our workshop. The surface was professionally refined, prepared for painting, and finally painted with great attention to detail. It was only through the combination of modern 3D printing technology, precise craftsmanship, and a keen eye for shape and color that the mascot gained its unmistakable character.

The result is a high-quality, expressive 3D figure that makes it look as if Willi the Raccoon has walked straight out of his illustrated world and into the pediatric dental practice.

A mascot that puts children at ease

A dental practice near Vienna wanted to create an environment for the opening of their new pediatric clinic where both young and old patients would feel comfortable from the very start. Their in-house mascot, Willi the Raccoon, plays a special role in this.

Until now, Willi existed only as a drawing and an idea. We were given the opportunity to bring him into the third dimension and, quite literally, bring him to life.

Today, Willi the Raccoon greets patients in the waiting area of the pediatric dental practice. He is much more than just a decorative figure there. He creates a sense of familiarity, sparks curiosity, and distracts the children from their upcoming treatment for a moment. This turns a potentially stressful dental visit into a much friendlier experience.

Willi is also an eye-catcher for the adults. The three-dimensional mascot gives the premises a unique identity and shows, the moment you enter the practice, that special importance is placed on a child-friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

Get custom mascots 3D printed

Willi the Raccoon impressively demonstrates what is possible with large-format 3D printing and professional surface finishing. Whether it's a corporate mascot, promotional figure, trade fair display, brand character, or a life-sized figure for an entrance or waiting area: we create custom 3D figures that not only grab attention but leave a lasting impression.

Our work doesn't end with the printing. We support a project from the digital template through production to careful post-processing and painting. This ensures that you don't just get an unfinished raw print, but a presentation-ready figure with a high-quality surface, cleanly crafted details, and a paint job that perfectly captures the character of the original design.

Anyone looking to have their own mascot created as a three-dimensional figure or printed in large format needs a partner who has mastered both 3D printing and the entire range of manual finishing processes. This combination is exactly one of our core strengths.

Willi the Raccoon is the best proof of this: a brilliant result that makes more than just children's eyes light up.
