A company that creates 3D models of pets has further plans for expansion after experiencing a surge in demand for its products as unique pet memorials.

Arty Lobster (www.artylobster.com) is seeking to partner with veterinary clinics across the UK, as it believes the pet memorials market, which makes up a majority and growing segment of its sales, would ideally lend itself to in-practice merchandising.

The innovative business, which started trading two years ago, has grown from an initial two members of staff to a team of eleven people, including seven 3D artists. The firm, which was a Finalist at the prestigious Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) London Business Awards, plans to hire an additional three 3D artists in the next 12 months.

London-based Arty Lobster takes 3D tech to the limits by creating items that are truly bespoke and unique. Highly skilled artists create the 3D pet sculptures from customers' photos of their pet, which are then 3D printed before being delivered to the customer. There are three options, including sandstone, porcelain and bronze with prices starting at £140.

In order to remain at the cutting edge of 3D innovation, Arty Lobster has implemented a rigorous training program to ensure each pet sculpture is crafted to the highest quality and artistic standards.

Lars Andersen, Founder and MD of Arty Lobster, said: “Pet memorials represent a significant part of our customer base. As our pets are becoming members of our family, we increasingly want a memento of them to cherish forever, which is why I believe this market is becoming increasingly important for us.

“In business terms, it’s an incredibly exciting time for us. We have experienced strong growth in the UK and internationally, which has allowed us to take on several new full-time members of staff as well as to add to our team of dedicated associates.

“3D printing is still in its infancy, and as the technology continues to improve, we anticipate significant additional growth in the market.”

The company has a range of very competitive wholesale prices for vets. For enquiries, please email [email protected], or visit www.artylobster.com in the first instance.
