About That Life
Japan-based 3D printing and model production focused on turning ambitious digital ideas into physical pieces that can be built, worn, displayed, photographed, collected, or used in the real world.
兵庫県を拠点に、3Dプリント・模型製作を行っています。アイデアやイメージを、実際に手に取れる形へとつなげるお手伝いをしています。
From Digital Model to Physical Piece
About That Life works with serious modelers, collectors, cosplayers, creators, hobbyists, and small businesses who need more than a basic print service. Our work includes resin and FDM production, model preparation, mesh repair, scale conversion, large multipart builds, garage kits, mecha, figures, cosplay parts, props, prototypes, and small-batch production.
The focus is not only on whether a file can be printed, but whether the finished object can be assembled, handled, displayed, worn, or produced reliably.

ABOUT THE FOUNDER
Dan Johnson IV
Founder & Operator, About That Life
Dan is a Japan-based maker and 3D printing specialist focused on turning digital models into practical physical builds. His work includes resin and FDM printing, model preparation, scale conversion, large multipart projects, garage kits, mecha, cosplay pieces, props, prototypes, and small-batch production.
About That Life was built around the idea that imagination can be brought to life in the real world. The goal is to help people take an idea, a dream, or something they have imagined and turn it into something real—something they can actually build, hold, wear, display, or experience in the physical world.
