What Eldritch Foundry does

Eldritch Foundry is a privately-held, founder-owned company founded in 2019 by Matan Gilat, operating a web-based 3D character creator platform for designing custom tabletop miniatures. The platform enables users to configure character ancestry (Dwarf, Human, Elf, Goliath, etc.), pose, armor, accessories and expression on a multi-rig skeleton architecture, render the design via a proprietary engine, and choose between three fulfillment paths: download STL or 3MF files for home 3D printing, order a factory-printed grey resin miniature (with optional color printing in beta at 21 micron resolution), or commission licensed designs via commercial programs. The content library comprises 1,600+ unique items across 30+ customization slots with ~100 new items added in 2023.

The business operates five distinct revenue streams: unit-priced physical miniatures ($25 standard to $55 double size), unit-priced digital STL downloads ($5), the Eldritch Unlimited subscription ($10-$15/month or $499 lifetime) bundling unlimited downloads with monthly themed Core STL packs of 15+ artist designs, an annual Merchant License ($550) for retailers and 3D print shops, and an annual Game Designer License (£2,000) for commercial tabletop game publishers. Production occurs in England with 4-6 week lead times and global shipping; the company is incorporated in Delaware, USA, with US headquarters in Torrance, CA and an Israel-origin founding team.

Go-to-market combines product-led growth via the self-serve creator, community-led engagement through Discord and hashtag challenges like #MyMonthlyMini, content marketing via blog and SEO, and channel partnerships through the merchant guild. Distribution is direct-to-consumer plus a small network of authorized merchants in the US, Canada, UK, and Netherlands. The company is endorsed by Critical Role and Acquisitions Incorporated, and has integrated Lychee Slicer for home-print workflow plus a strategic content partnership with Kobold Press. Eldritch Foundry explicitly differentiates by producing all art with human artists rather than generative AI.

• Printables (by Prusa Research): Prusa's Printables marketplace distributes free and paid STL files including a large miniatures category, competing for both creator mindshare and home-printer demand.

Others

• Bambu Lab: Bambu Lab is a fast-growing FDM 3D printer maker whose machines support the 3MF full-color format Eldritch Foundry distributes - an enabling infrastructure peer in the home-print workflow.
• Formlabs: Formlabs makes professional resin SLA printers (Form 3/4) widely used by service bureaus to print tabletop miniatures at the resolution levels Eldritch Foundry promotes as a competitive advantage.

Broad incumbents

• Reaper Miniatures: Reaper is a long-established traditional metal/plastic miniature manufacturer (Bones line) that has been expanding into 3D-printed lines, positioning it as a broad incumbent in the same hobby category.
• CMON: CMON publishes Kickstarter-funded board games (Zombicide, Bloodborne) bundled with miniatures and is both a potential Game Designer License customer and a broad incumbent miniatures publisher.
• WizKids: WizKids (HeroClix, Board Game pre-painted minis) supplies prepainted miniatures for hobby board games and RPGs, making it a broad incumbent in the tabletop miniature distribution channel.
• Games Workshop: Games Workshop is the dominant incumbent in tabletop wargaming (Warhammer) with deep hobbyist community reach - a broad incumbent whose miniatures ecosystem Eldritch Foundry intersects with via the wargamer segment.

Emerging players

• Loot Studios: Loot Studios is a small 3D-printable miniature studio releasing themed monthly STL boxes, closely mirroring Eldritch Foundry's monthly Core pack cadence and creator-friendly positioning.
