What is a basic cutter?

It is a hollow profile with a sharp edge on the bottom. You press the cutter onto the rolled-out dough, and the shape is marked. You remove the excess dough around it and you have a cookie with the exact shape of your design.

Unlike commercial metal cutters, KingsCutter 3D cutters are made on demand with your custom design. There is no limit to shapes.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a cutter and a stamp?
The cutter is hollow — it cuts the cookie shape. The stamp is solid — it imprints a design on the surface. The Cutter + Stamp combines both: cuts and stamps in a single motion.
Can I make very small or very large cutters?
Yes, the range is from 5 cm to 20 cm. Small cutters (5-7 cm) are ideal for tea or tasting cookies. Large ones (15-20 cm) for decorated cookies like gingerbread houses.
Is the cutter dishwasher safe?
PETG withstands dishwashers up to about 60°C. We recommend hand washing for greater durability. Do not use alcohol or solvents.
Can I sell the cookies I make with the cutter?
Yes! There are no commercial restrictions on what you produce using the cutters. The cutter design is yours once downloaded.
What should I do if the cutter doesn't cut well?
Check that the edge is free of burrs. Gently sand the bottom edge with fine sandpaper (grit 400) if necessary. Also make sure the dough is not too cold.
