Custom models with NFC

Build an NFC tag into custom 3D printed products.

Choose a model with a cavity designed for the tag, customise the available surfaces and export the parts to check assembly and pauses in your slicer.

How it works

A simple path from start to result.

  1. 01

    Choose the use

    Select a keyring or a jewellery box according to the size, presentation and interaction you want.

  2. 02

    Customise and program

    Adjust the artwork, text or QR code and program the NFC tag separately with the content you want.

  3. 03

    Review the pause

    Check the cavity, the pause height and the orientation in your slicer before inserting the tag.

Uses

Choose the right product for the job

The NFC keyring puts the interaction into a compact object. The jewellery box keeps the lid and base separate and builds the tag into the bottom part.

Each design has its own dimensions and process; check the model description before choosing the tag.

How it works

The file prepares the physical space, it does not program the tag

The customiser creates the cavity and keeps the geometry needed to hold the component. The tag content must be written by the user with a compatible NFC app or device.

Test the scan before closing the part and again after assembly, because material, position and distance all affect how well it works.

Printing

Check the pause, clearance and orientation

Some models keep a print pause so you can insert the tag. Open the 3MF in a compatible slicer and confirm that the command appears on the right layer before starting the printer.

Never place a tag on a hot surface without checking the component's limits and the safe procedure for your printer.

Experience

Pair NFC with visible instructions

A short phrase telling people where to tap helps the customer know where to hold their phone. Visible artwork can also show what the product is for.

Tell the buyer what content will open and keep the programmed link or information under your control.

Common questions

Quick answers before you start.

Does the tool program the NFC tag?

No. It prepares the physical model. The content must be written separately with a compatible device and app.

Which NFC tag should I buy?

Check the dimensions given by the model and compare them with the tag before printing. Thickness, diameter and tolerance need to match.

Does the file include a pause for inserting the tag?

Some models keep a preset pause. It should always be checked in your slicer and adjusted to your printing process.

Can I customise how the model looks?

Yes. The available options vary between logo, text and colours depending on the chosen model.
