Print it at home or order it
Open the STL in your slicer, or upload it to a print service if you don't have a printer.




Any FDM or resin printer works. Open the file in your slicer and press print.

How this template works
Image Studio sculpts your photo into a classical marble bust on a plinth, then Image to 3D builds the 3D model. You can also run both steps yourself if you want more control.

Do it yourself for more control
- Change the material in the prompt: bronze, jade, obsidian or terracotta.
- Ask for a full-body statue or a laurel wreath in Image Studio.
- Use Ultra mesh quality for sharper facial features, then Print Repair before slicing.
What is 3D AI Studio?
3D AI Studio is a web app that makes 3D models, images and sounds with AI. It runs in your browser, so there is nothing to install.
A template is a saved recipe. It runs a fixed set of AI tools with settings we've already tested, so all you add is a photo or a sentence.
Step 1Image StudioEdits and redraws pictures with AI image models.
Step 2Image to 3DTurns a single picture into a textured 3D model.

the entire sculpture is carved from one block of polished white Carrara marble with subtle grey veining, no painted colours.
the entire sculpture is cast in one uniform bronze with a warm patina and soft highlights, no painted colours.
the entire sculpture is fired terracotta clay in a warm orange-brown, matte, no painted colours.
the entire sculpture is polished gold with soft reflections, no painted colours.
The files you get
Open it in a slicer such as Bambu Studio, PrusaSlicer or Cura, then press print.
Best for Bambu Lab and Prusa printers.
Opens in Blender and almost every 3D app.
Which photo to use
- A clear, front-facing photo with even light gives the best likeness.
- Remove sunglasses and hats for a classical look.
- Print in white or marble PLA for a stone look straight off the printer.
Good to know: Glasses are usually carved into the stone or removed, as with real classical sculpture.
Run this template from Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor
Connect the 3D AI Studio MCP to your AI assistant and paste the brief into the chat. It runs the same steps with the same prompts and settings, shows you the result in the conversation and saves it to your library.
- Connect the MCP once in your account settings. It's included in every paid plan.
- Copy the brief.
- Paste it into a new chat. Your assistant opens an upload card for your photo, then runs every step.
upload_imageedit_image_gptgenerate_prism_3_1convert_modelget_generationshow_generationUse the 3D AI Studio MCP to run the "Marble Statue of You" template (https://www.3daistudio.com/templates/marble-statue) for me. My photo(s): I'll hand them over when you call upload_image. Style: Marble Look: Your outfit Follow these steps in order. The prompts and settings are the template's own, so use them word for word. 1. Get my photos Call upload_image with purpose "Photo for the Marble Statue of You template" so I can hand them over (images attached in the chat don't reach the MCP). I can upload up to 5 photos of the same subject; use all of them. 2. Sculpt the statue Call edit_image_gpt with my uploaded photo(s) in images, quality "low", output_format "png" and this prompt: """ The reference photo(s) show one person; that person is the subject. Keep them recognisable through their face shape, features, expression, hairstyle, beard or glasses, build and the shapes and folds of their outfit. Their colours do NOT carry over: skin, hair, eyes, clothing and base are all the one material described below. Do NOT copy the face from the photo: re-create the whole head, face, hair and neck from scratch in exactly the same style, material, level of detail, lighting and colour grading as the rest of the character, as if one artist made the entire character at once. The head sits naturally on the body at the character's proportions, with no photographic skin texture, no photo lighting, no visible seam, edge or colour shift at the neck, and no head that looks pasted on. Transform the subject into a classical sculpted bust: head, neck, shoulders and upper chest ending in a clean classical cut, mounted on a short round plinth. Hair and clothing simplified into sculpted folds, the eyes carved, a calm dignified expression that still clearly looks like the person. Frontal view, perfectly centered, the entire bust and plinth visible with generous empty margin and nothing cropped. Isolated on a seamless pure white (#FFFFFF) background, soft even studio lighting, no shadows on the background, no text. Material: the entire sculpture is carved from one block of polished white Carrara marble with subtle grey veining, no painted colours. Most important: the whole figure, head and face included, is a classical marble bust with every surface, skin, eyes and hair included, in that one material, as one consistent physical object made by one artist. The face must not look like a photo or a realistic photographed face: it is re-created in exactly the same style, level of detail, finish and colours as the rest, with no photographic part anywhere. """ 3. Build the 3D model Call generate_prism_3_1 with the task_id of the image from step 2 in images, texture_model "3.5", texture_quality "fast", geometry_quality "standard", pbr false. 4. Export Export it for printing: call convert_model on the 3D model with output_format "3mf" (or "stl" if I ask for it), plus max_size and unit "cm" if I gave you a print size. After each generation call, keep polling get_generation with its task_id until it completes, then show me the result with show_generation before you start the next step.
Or automate it with the API
The same tools are available through the 3D AI Studio API. Call them from your own code to make hundreds at once, build them into your app or run them in your pipeline.
