Who We Are
About AZ 3D Prints — London 3D Printing Studio
AZ 3D Prints was founded in 2022 by Zahabiya Ali — a London-based artist and designer who wanted to create something more personal than anything you could buy off a shelf. What began in a Madrasah classroom has grown into a studio with a team of 4–5 that ships personalised 3D printed gifts across the UK. Since founding AZ 3D Prints in 2022, Zahabiya has designed over 200 original pieces and served more than 1,000 customers across the UK.
Zahabiya designs every piece herself — starting from a hand-drawn sketch, refining it into a 3D model, then printing it on FDM or resin machines depending on the detail required. The studio has produced bulk orders for over 50 weddings, Eid celebrations, and corporate events. Every piece that leaves us has been made with care, tested for quality, and packaged with the recipient in mind.
Meet the Founder
About Zahabiya Ali — Founder & Designer
Zahabiya started AZ 3D Prints in 2022 from a Madrasah classroom, with one printer and an idea: that personalised gifts shouldn't look mass-produced. That a lamp could be a piece of art. That calligraphy had a place in 3D.
Her background is in visual art and Islamic design. She draws every pattern by hand before it becomes a model — mosque silhouettes, Arabic script, geometric forms, portrait conversions. The hand-drawn step is non-negotiable. It's what gives each piece its character.
Today the studio runs three machines and ships across the UK. Every custom order still goes through Zahabiya directly — she sees every design before it's printed and every piece before it's posted.
"We believe a gift should carry meaning — not just a price tag."
That's why everything we make can be personalised to the person, the occasion, and the moment.

Our Hand-Drawn
Design Process
Before a design goes near a printer, it begins as a sketch. Calligraphy, pattern, form — drawn by hand, refined, then translated into 3D. That process is what gives each piece its character.
