Shrunk 3D

Shrunk 3D

Shrunk 3D, Inc. offers franchises for operating mobile scanning booths that provide 3D scanning and printing services, primarily creating custom 3D printed figurines of customers, people, or objects. Franchisees market and operate these booths at events, offices, festivals, sporting events, schools, carnivals, and government buildings, targeting residential and commercial customers including businesses, teams, organizations, and event planners. The business model involves franchisees selling pre-paid scans and custom 3D printing orders, with the franchisor supplying booths and coordinating production through vendors.

Financial Performance


Item 19 Financial Performance

Data Based On: The financial performance representation is based upon the historic data of 23 franchised outlets which operated during the 12-month reporting period from April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2024, and had revenue generating events. One franchised outlet was excluded as it was not yet open or did not have any revenue-generating events.

* The document provides financial performance data related to figurine prices, estimated gross margins (as percentages), figurines sold per event day, and order amounts per event day. However, it does not provide an aggregate 'average gross revenue' or 'median gross revenue' per franchise unit for the entire reporting period (April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024). The 'Order Amount' is explicitly defined as 'average net sales revenue generated per order', not total revenue per franchise unit for the period. Similarly, due to the absence of a total revenue figure, average net income, average net profit, and average EBITDA cannot be calculated or inferred in dollar amounts, nor can a profit range (best_guess_profit_low/high) be established from the gross margin percentages alone.

Shrunk 3D Franchise Analysis

Picture mobile 3D scanning booths capturing crowds at festivals and events, churning out custom figurines on the spot. Shrunk 3D's FDD Item 19 lays bare earnings data for these innovative units, while explosive expansion hints at untapped demand. But in a concept this fresh, does the financials match the hype, or is rapid scaling masking early risks?

Item 7 details a total investment of $187,485-$267,235, including the $49,900 franchise fee, booth costs, and initial marketing. Ongoing fees hit hard: 8% royalty (minimum $500/month), 2% brand fund, and $250/month technology fee, per Item 6. With only 22 locations as of 2023 FDD, growth rocketed 175% from 8 units in 2022, and Item 20 projects 22 new openings. Item 19 discloses revenue figures, offering rare transparency for a 2021-launched brand—averages show viability for event-driven sales, though profitability hinges on booth utilization amid seasonal swings.

System health shines with 1 transfer and no major red flags in Item 20, but the youth of the network (franchising since 2021) means limited track record. High growth signals strong franchisor momentum, yet investors face unproven scalability in business services. For mobile operators chasing novelty, Item 19 earnings suggest solid returns if events deliver volume; otherwise, fixed fees could strain low months. This FDD paints a high-upside bet for event hustlers, but demands scrutiny on vendor reliance for printing.

Analysis based on the 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document. All figures should be independently verified before making investment decisions.
