Our process

Our current masters

Our handcrafted dice are not just a product, but a labor of love that begins with raw materials and ends with a magical creation.

Each step of the process is imbued with our craft, resulting in unique and captivating dice that are not without flaws, but are a testament to the handmade process.

For full transparency, here’s an overview of the design decisions and little flaws that each of our master sets entails.

Our logo (the eye) is only featured on the D6 in sets, on single D20s and on D20 chonks. We use a condensed sans-serif font for better legibility and to improve the sharpness of the dice overall.

Take a peek behind the scenes

How are our dice made? Here's a quick run-down of the steps we go through to create these magical pieces.

Design & Printing

Our dice masters are designed and 3D modelled from scratch. We use Illustrator and Houdini for our digital creations. The finished files are printed with an SLA printer for detailed results.

Sanding

Once we have a printed master set, the printing lines need to be sanded down. This process takes many, many hours as we work our way through multiple sanding grits until the dice are shiny.

Translucent silicone dice molds

Mold Making

The finished master set is used to create the molds we cast our resin dice in. This step needs to be done again and again, because molds degrade over time, resulting in matte or faulty dice.

Casting

We exclusively use high quality resin and a wide range of (cruelty free) additives. Combined with our experience and techniques, we're able to create unique sets that last.

Polishing

After casting, the dice need to cure properly before we can proceed with polishing. We use a combination of polishing compound and special sanding paper to achieve a shiny finish.

The Final Touch

In our last step, we ink the numbers with acrylic paint for better legibility. Once done, the set is carefully stored away in a black velvet bag to shield it from harsh light.
