TumblerForge — 3D Preview & Tumbler Templates

• How accurate are the cup shapes?

  Wrap dimensions and safe zones match the paper templates we cut from. Some 3D body shapes are still being refined against caliper measurements of the physical blanks — the wrap math is production-accurate even where the preview silhouette is approximate.

• How do I pick my tumbler?

  In the right panel: choose the tumbler type (20 oz, 40 oz, mug…), then the engrave metal — the plating color that shows where you engrave — then the powder-coat color. The template canvas re-sizes to that cup's true dimensions and your design carries over.

• What happens to my design when I switch cup sizes?

  Your art keeps its true physical size — a 3-inch name stays 3 inches. If you switch to a smaller cup that can't fit the design, it's scaled down proportionally to fit the new template and pulled back into view, so nothing gets stranded off-canvas.

• Why does my design show up as shiny metal in the preview?

  Because that's what laser engraving does: it burns away the powder coat to reveal the plated metal underneath. Your design's canvas color doesn't matter — the preview shows every engraved area as the cup's plating (gold, rainbow, copper…), which is exactly what the finished cup looks like.

• Why do some powder-coat colors say “not stocked at Maker Foundry”?

  Every cup previews every plating and the full standard powder-coat palette, so you can mock up blanks from any supplier. Combinations Maker Foundry stocks link to the exact product; the rest are preview-only and link to the drinkware collection instead.
