VERTEX manufactures mannequins from recycled polypropylene using industrial 3D printing in true serial production quality — combining design freedom, recyclability and scalable manufacturing in one digital workflow.
No conventional mold-making.
No limits of traditional development.
Just a smarter way to turn ideas into physical retail.
Traditional mannequin development relies on sculpting, tooling and molds. Industrial 3D printing changes the process.
At VERTEX, the mannequin starts as a digital asset. Body shape, proportions, pose and design details can be developed, adjusted and approved digitally before moving directly into physical production.
This gives your brand more freedom to create exactly what you need, while making development faster, more flexible and easier to scale.
The material matters.
We manufacture our 3D-printed mannequins from polypropylene: A lightweight, durable and recyclable material designed for professional retail environments.
Combined with industrial additive manufacturing, polypropylene allows us to rethink not only how a mannequin is produced, but also how material, weight, transportation and end-of-life can be considered from the beginning.
Less about making another mannequin.
More about designing a better product lifecycle.
Design. Engineering. 3D printing. Finishing.
All in-house.
Because the complete development process happens within VERTEX, we eliminate unnecessary external handovers and shorten traditional development cycles.
Depending on project complexity and final design approval, a first 3D-printed mannequin prototype can be ready within just 10 days.
Think it. Develop it. Print it.
3D printing isn't only a prototyping technology at VERTEX.
For suitable projects, mannequins can remain in industrial 3D-printed production.
For larger quantities or different project requirements, the approved digital design can move into alternative manufacturing technologies, that we also offer in-house.
Because VERTEX combines digital development with its own production capabilities, we can select the manufacturing process around the project — not design the project around the manufacturing process.
3D printing gives us freedom where conventional production reaches its limits.
Body shapes can be adapted. Proportions changed. New poses created. Heads redesigned. Details added.
Existing digital assets transformed into physical objects.
Whether the starting point is a sketch, an existing mannequin, a digital 3D file or a full-body scan of a real person, our in-house 3D team can develop it into a production-ready mannequin.
What is a 3D-printed mannequin?
A 3D-printed mannequin is manufactured directly from digital 3D data using additive manufacturing rather than conventional mold-based production. VERTEX uses industrial 3D printing to manufacture polypropylene mannequins for professional retail applications.
What material does VERTEX use for 3D-printed mannequins?
VERTEX manufactures 3D-printed mannequins from polypropylene, a lightweight, durable and recyclable material.
Can 3D printing be used for serial mannequin production?
Yes. At VERTEX, industrial 3D printing is used not only for prototypes but also for serial mannequin production, depending on project requirements and quantities.
How quickly can VERTEX produce a 3D-printed mannequin prototype?
Depending on project complexity and final design approval, VERTEX can create a first 3D-printed mannequin prototype within 10 days.
Can a 3D-printed mannequin be customized?
Yes. Because the mannequin is developed digitally, body shape, proportions, pose, head, hands and other design details can be individually adapted before production.
Can a real person be turned into a 3D-printed mannequin?
Yes. VERTEX can use professional full-body 3D scanning to capture a real person, athlete or brand ambassador and use the resulting digital data as the foundation for a customized physical mannequin.
