How to Create 3D Printed Cookie Cutters to Sell

Cookie Cutters are a great, high margin 3D Printing business. Many stores that we have seen on Teleport earn $100K+ per year. The trick to them is to create a lot of SKU's that can address individual niches. So in this post we will go through a workflow on how to create 3D printable cookie cutters.

1. Find an image

You can use basically use any image to make a cookie cutter. It might be a photo of a pet or a design your made in AI. The main thing to remember is that this will be a cookie eventually. Don't go too high detail if it can be avoided.

2. Convert the image into an outline

We built this custom GPT that will take your image and then convert it into a clean black and white outline.

If the outline looks too complicated just ask it to "simplify" a couple of times for you

3. Upload to Cookie Cad

CookieCAD is a free software that allows you to create cookie cutter STL models ready to go. They are formatted, oriented, and laid out.

Now you are ready to sell. You can use 3DPrintPriceCalculator.com to figure out what you should sell it for. Or just upload it straight to Teleport so that you have 1000 3D Printers working for you to make your cutters. (prices are estimated instantly. If you are a professional store reach out to us for custom pricing)

4. Make the Product Real

Now you will need product photos. So go ahead and upload a Screenshot of the 3D Model to this GPT and it will generate a product photo for you.

Or you can just order a copy in your Color of choice

Now you are ready to go. Do that a few more times and you have a Cookie Cutter store! Enjoy!
