About this Business
The World’s First Fully Mobile 3D Scanning Photo Studio!
Picture this… SHRUNK 3D arrives at your event to capture your biggest and sweetest moments with a hyper realistic high-definition 3D replica of you, your family, loved ones and pets! Show off your trendiest outfit, pregnancy, uniform, tattoos, prom dress and more.
The mobile studio (housed in a covered trailer) pulls up to an event, location, neighborhood, etc. You step inside the SHRUNK 3D Studio and strike a pose to capture your 3D image. You then review your image(s) and choose your SHRUNK 3D replica size(s). Not only a keepsake, these replicas can also be used to promote your business by making miniature V Cards of yourself, mascot, or vehicle with a dynamic QR code on the base to communicate your information to your customers! The possibilities are endless!
Not only that, we have also just added the ability to do autos, motorcycles, boats, houses, horses and more using 2D photos! Imagination is the only limitation!
Growth opportunities
We now have the ability to do 2D to 3D which opens up a lot of avenues for growth. We have also added the ability to make yourself into a 3D business card and 3D baseball card with stats or dynamic QR codes to advertise a person (think college recruiting), business, or event (save the date).

Reason for Selling
Being a new franchise, it is still in a ramp up phase. We are getting a lot of increased interest, but do not have the capital to get it completely off the ground.
Why I Love My Franchise
There are so many applications for this technology; from memory making to fundraising and marketing. We can now do all things miniature. The best part is watching the customers eyes light up with creative ideas and applications. As an owner, the mobile (non-food based) model was exactly what we were looking for. Additionally, there's no headache of inventory. Also, it is very easy to train even a teenager to work the system and make these for others.
About Shrunk3D
Shrunk3D is a mobile 3D scanning and printing franchise that turns customers into detailed, full-color miniature statues. Using a portable studio booth, it captures a 190-image scan in under a second, then produces a 4–9 inch replica of an individual, couple, family or pet. Founded in 2019 and franchising since 2021, it is billed as the world’s first fully mobile 3D scanning photo booth.
The model is built around onsite events rather than a fixed storefront, with franchisees taking the studio to weddings, conventions, festivals, sporting events, corporate functions and school activities. Setup and teardown take under five minutes, and there is no retail lease, inventory or on-site printing: the corporate team handles printing, fulfillment, shipping and website hosting centrally.
Shrunk3D is an emerging franchise growing through accelerator Franchise FastLane, with a US network that has expanded quickly since launch. National partnerships with the US military exchange service, the Collegiate Licensing Company and Varsity Spirit give franchisees access to event channels an independent operator would struggle to reach.
Franchisee Support
Initial onboarding includes a two-day in-person training program, followed by a 90-day launch plan and ongoing help spanning 24/7 technical support, a dedicated franchisee support team, monthly State-of-the-Brand calls and social-media marketing assistance. Day-to-day operations run on proprietary scanning software and the War Plan AI portal, which links to the brand's CRM, while corporate handles all printing, fulfillment, shipping and website hosting. Resale buyers should confirm what transfer training and War Plan AI access are provided to incoming owners.
Brand Accolades & Awards
Shrunk3D was ranked #69 on Entrepreneur magazine's 2025 Top New & Emerging Franchises list and is recognized as the world's first fully mobile 3D scanning booth franchise. It has drawn media coverage for its novel service and strong customer reviews for figurine detail. National partnerships with the Army & Air Force Exchange Service, the Collegiate Licensing Company and Varsity Spirit reinforce its credibility. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be weighed alongside the specific territory's local reputation, reviews and event relationships.
Industry / Market
Shrunk3D sits in the US personalized gifts market, valued at $9.7 billion in 2024 and projected to reach $14.6 billion by 2030 at a 7% CAGR (Grand View Research). Demand is driven by occasion- and emotion-led spending around weddings, milestones, conventions and corporate events, alongside rising consumer interest in custom, technology-made keepsakes. The category is largely discretionary and event-tied, so local demand depends on an active calendar of weddings, festivals and sporting events within a franchisee's territory.
Ideal Owner
Shrunk3D suits hands-on, sales-driven operators who enjoy working face-to-face with customers at live events. The role centers on booking and staffing events, running the scanning studio and building relationships with wedding planners, venues, convention organizers and corporate clients, so local marketing and customer-service skills matter more than technical 3D-printing expertise, which corporate handles. Comfort with technology and a flexible schedule covering weekends and event-heavy weeks help. No industry background is required.
