about us

Plastic Mania, Inc.

Thank you for visiting the website of Plasticmania Inc.
My name is Takashi Inui, and I am the CEO and founder of the company. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to our clients, collaborators, and the artists who continue to support us.

Since our founding, Plasticmania has been at the forefront of digital sculpture technology, integrating 3D modeling, 3D scanning, and 3D printing into art and figure production. Our team is recognized for transforming 2D contemporary art into three-dimensional creations and for producing life-size figures of exceptional realism and quality.

At the same time, our roots lie in traditional analog craftsmanship—hand-sculpting, molding, and painting at the highest professional level. By combining deep analog expertise with cutting-edge digital processes, we create a harmony of precision and expression that opens new dimensions in artistic creation.

As both a craftsman and the company’s director, I strive to understand each creator’s vision deeply and translate it faithfully into physical form. With humility and dedication, our team continues to refine our skills to meet the evolving needs of the creative community.

We look forward to shaping the future of art and sculpture with you.
Thank you for your continued trust and support.
