Our Story

Original collectibles, Etsy finds, and custom keepsakes - designed and printed one layer at a time.

Why "Dolce Vita"

After a trip to Italy, we fell in love with the place - the food, the pace, the feeling of it. We wanted a name that would keep us feeling part of it, so we chose Dolce Vita - Italian for "the sweet life."

Somewhere along the way, we picked up 3D printing, and it grew into its own thing: Dolce Vita 3D Printing, a small, family-run studio in Fort Smith, Arkansas.

Why we got into 3D printing

We got started because it looked fun. Of course, it was up to me to troubleshoot when things didn't work, and I learned fast. Now I keep the machines running seven days a week - if something happens, we're usually only down for about five minutes.

I'm an author, too

Right now, I'm writing a novel to go with our new series, Legends of the Abyss. Keep an eye on the home page for the first chapter, and sign up there to be the first to know when it's ready.

Always Licensed

We design plenty in-house, and we buy files too for variety - but nothing trademarked or copyrighted ever makes the cut. Everything on our site comes with the license to sell it.
