Design details: Red Tiger Cub Figurine
The seated tiger-cub form combines a rounded head, small ears and compact limbs. Its visual quality depends on preserving shallow facial features while producing a consistent surface on larger curved areas.
Plan support contact away from the most visible face and front surfaces. Surface preparation should remove marks without rounding off the eyes, muzzle or other small details that define the character.
Features to review on a similar design
- Place support contact on less visible areas
- Inspect small facial features before paint
- Check color consistency across curved surfaces
SLA resin design review
SLA builds photopolymer resin parts with fine surface detail. For a similar model, select the resin by its intended use: an appearance model, a fit-check enclosure and a part exposed to heat need different material properties. Review support contact, drainage from hollow regions, washing access and post-curing before committing to a build. Standard resin should not be assumed to provide long-term outdoor durability or load-bearing performance.

Paint preparation includes cleaning, local support-mark removal and a suitable coating system for the chosen substrate. Specify the color and gloss, identify surfaces to mask and allow for coating thickness around mating features. Light coats help preserve small relief details and open cells.

Upload a STEP file for solid geometry or a high-resolution STL/3MF mesh for sculptural forms. Include overall dimensions, quantity, intended use and the faces or details that matter most. Add a drawing for mating interfaces and a color or finish reference for visual models. AIHFabs can review the geometry and manufacturing options before production.
