If you’ve ever wanted a one-of-a-kind way to capture a cherished memory, Shrink 3D Me offers a unique solution. Founded by Milan Rankovic, Shrink 3D Me creates personalized, highly detailed 3D figurines of individuals, families, and even pets. Milan’s dedication to precision and passion for creating lasting memories makes his company a standout in Chicago’s local business scene.
At Shrink 3D Me, customers can create custom figurines that offer a tangible way to hold onto special memories. This innovative service uses state-of-the-art 3D technology to scan and print small replicas of people and pets, producing keepsakes that are true to life in both detail and color. Each figurine is crafted based on a full 360-degree scan, capturing every angle with stunning accuracy. Available in sizes ranging from 4 to 16 inches, these figurines provide a meaningful way to celebrate occasions like weddings, graduations, family gatherings, and even pet shows.
Milan shared that many of his clients are amazed at the level of detail achieved in each piece. “Most people don’t realize that something like this is even possible,” he said. “Our figurines bring a new way to preserve moments that matter, whether it’s a newborn baby, a wedding day, or a special pet. The possibilities are endless.”
The process of creating a custom figurine with Shrink 3D Me is designed to be simple and convenient. Milan and his team bring a full-size scanner directly to the customer, whether at home, in an office, or at an event. Within one second, the 3D scanner captures high-resolution images from every angle, creating a comprehensive scan that’s ready for printing. The figurine is then carefully crafted and delivered within three weeks, offering clients a seamless and personalized experience.
Currently serving the Chicago area, Milan has plans to expand Shrink 3D Me’s reach nationally. “We’re excited to bring our 3D scanning and printing services to a wider audience in the future. The response has been overwhelmingly positive, and we want to make this unique offering accessible to more people.”
Shrink 3D Me appeals to a broad audience, from individuals seeking a special gift to families and pet owners looking for a memorable keepsake. Milan explains, “Our ideal customers are anyone looking for a unique way to capture a moment in time, whether it’s a person or a pet. These figurines make thoughtful gifts, awards, and commemorative pieces for almost any occasion.” He also offers special discounts for military personnel and a referral fee for those who help spread the word about his business.
Originally from Serbia, Milan has a background in radiology. Since moving to the United States, he sought a new way to provide for his family, turning his passion for precision and technology into a business. “Being a radiologist taught me the importance of detail and accuracy, which translates well into creating 3D figurines,” he shared. His journey from medicine to business owner showcases his adaptability and determination.
Milan’s diverse skills don’t stop there. He also has a unique hobby: falconry. Learning the ancient art of falconry was a challenge Milan embraced, giving him confidence that he could achieve any goal he set his mind to. It also inspired him to start making handcrafted leather items like bags and wallets. “Falconry was a test of patience and skill. It taught me that dedication can take you far,” he noted.
In a market with few similar options, Shrink 3D Me offers something truly special. Milan’s dedication to high-quality craftsmanship, attention to detail, and personalized customer service make his business a go-to for custom 3D figurines in Chicago. His work is driven by the idea that these figurines are more than just objects—they’re time capsules meant to be treasured for generations.
“Whether it’s for a wedding, a new baby, or just a personal keepsake, these figurines are mementos beyond the ordinary,” Milan said. His tagline reflects his mission to provide an extraordinary way for people to remember and celebrate the moments that mean the most.
While Shrink 3D Me is still a new business, Milan has big plans for the future. With his website now live and a steady flow of clients, he is focused on expanding beyond Chicago and bringing his services to a national audience. “Chicago has given me a lot of opportunities, and I see endless potential here,” he said. He’s excited to introduce more people across the country to the art of preserving memories in 3D.
As he continues to grow Shrink 3D Me, Milan remains committed to providing an honest, quality-driven service that brings joy to his clients. His dedication to creating meaningful mementos shines through in every figurine, helping people preserve a piece of their story for years to come.
