Mimaki 3D Printed Mongolian-inspired Cultural Mascot Figurines

About Project

Regional culture often becomes more memorable when it is given a friendly face. These Mongolian-inspired ethnic culture mascot figurines appear to turn traditional clothing, musical instruments, and decorative patterns into two gentle chibi characters. One girl is shown playing what looks like a horse-head fiddle, while the other wears an ornate hat with hanging bead-like ornaments and holds a small prop, giving the pair a strong sense of local storytelling.

The design feels especially suitable for tourism promotion, cultural IP development, local specialty branding, or souvenir prototyping. Instead of presenting cultural elements in a formal or distant way, the characters make them approachable: soft faces, calm expressions, white robes, blue and gold patterns, and carefully placed accessories all help the figurines feel warm, collectible, and easy for visitors to remember.

These pieces were produced with Mimaki full-color 3D printing, which can reproduce rich colors and subtle printed details directly from the digital model. For small cultural mascots with clothing patterns, facial features, instruments, and accessories, this process helps preserve delicate color details without manual painting.

Solution

• Step 1: The 3D models were checked before production, including the character proportions, hats, facial features, robe edges, musical instruments, bead-like ornaments, and thin accessory structures.
• Step 2: The full-color texture data was prepared for Mimaki printing, so the blue, white, gold, pink, brown, and patterned costume details could be reproduced directly from the digital file.
• Step 3: The figurines were produced with Mimaki full-color 3D printing, where UV-curable photopolymer inks were jetted and cured layer by layer to form the full-color parts in one integrated print.
• Step 4: After printing, the water-soluble support material was removed from delicate areas such as the hats, instruments, sleeves, robe edges, and small hanging ornaments.
• Step 5: The printed figurines were cleaned and inspected to ensure that the facial expressions, costume patterns, instrument details, and color transitions were clearly reproduced.
• Step 6: The finished cultural mascot prototypes were reviewed from multiple angles to confirm their display effect, structural integrity, and suitability for tourism or souvenir product development.
