The story behind CITYFRAMES
Our latest Milestones and achievements
89 Countries
We're offering cities around the world, and naturally, we offer international shipping. In the past 3 years, we shipped to customers in more than 85 countries around the world.
1400+ KM
We have used over 1400 kilometers of filament (3D printing material) in the production of our 3D cities. This is roughly the distance between London and Rome.
90 Cities
In our collection we are now offering 124 city models from more than 90 different cities in 45 countries around the world. Which city should be the 100th?

1. The Journey Begins / The First Experiment:
Our founder (Alex) wrapped up his studies in 2018. He made a trip to New York and came back not just inspired, but with an idea. Who knew skyscrapers could do that?
June 2019
2. From the First 3D Printer to the First Milestone
The following year was a deep dive into the world of 3D modeling. He initiated prints, tested materials, and learned about digital 3D data.
It involved a lot of trial and error, but hey, that’s how CITYFRAMES got rolling!
January 2020
3. Kickstarting the Dream
Alex took our idea to Kickstarter, and the response was amazing. The campaign was funded in 6 hours and reached more than 400% of its funding goal. Now it was time to get to work.

4. The Big Move: time to grow!
It was time for more room. An office in the historic Heyne Fabrik became the new HQ, providing room for more printers, storage, and the first team members.
October 2021
5. The First Big Order, the First Pallets
We got a major order from overseas so we started packing our first pallets. It was a bit like sending off your kid to college – exciting but nerve-wracking!
April 2021
6. The Team is growing
While CITYFRAMES grew from just Alex to 6 people, we achieved another major milestone. In just a few years, the international enthusiasm for our 3D cities has been overwhelming. Now, we have delivered our 3D Cities to 75 countries around the world!

7. Our First Furniture Piece: BLOK
Every great model deserves an equally great display. And so, BLOK was born. Our specially designed coffee table that gives your 3D City that extra touch of elegance.

8. More space, much more space
Our office was literally bursting. We found a new hall right next to our existing office. Soon we moved all our 3D printers, cardboard boxes and desks into this new production and storage space. The old office will be used as showroom in the future.

9. What's next
As we settle into our new production space, we're not just unpacking boxes – we're optimizing every inch to bring you even more. Our journey is far from over; it's just getting more exciting!
New Cities on the Horizon: Get ready for a world tour from your living room! We're adding a whole bunch of new cities to our collection. Vote for new cities: Public Wishlist
Setting Up Our Showroom: Plans are underway for our very first showroom. Imagine a space where you can step into our miniature cityscapes, a place where our models come to life.
Efficient Storage, Faster Delivery: Good news for those who can't wait! We're building up our storage to keep most cities ready to ship. This means faster delivery times and less waiting for your favorite cityscapes.
The adventure continues!
