Bronze 3D coin: the medal look
A bronze 3D coin is a coin blank and relief rendered in a warm copper-brown metal. In the 3DLogo.io coin studio, Bronze defaults to a smooth blank in #b87333 with the relief in the same metal, which reads as a cast medal rather than currency.
When to use a bronze 3d coin
Bronze is the third-place metal and the medal metal: it suits commemoratives, event medals, heritage and craft brands, and anything that should look cast rather than minted. The smooth default blank reinforces that.
Best for
- Event and race medals
- Third-place and commemorative tokens
- Heritage, craft, and hospitality brands
- Cast-metal mockups
Conditions and limitations
Bronze is the darkest look, so it needs a lighter or mid-tone background and a lit environment to keep its warmth. Fine detail below the strike depth disappears; keep the relief bold.
Which blank edge to choose
The default for this look is Smooth: a plain edge, the shape of a medal or a cast token.
- Reeded: Fine ridges around the edge, the classic currency rim.
- Milled: Coarser, evenly spaced grooves; reads well at small sizes.
- Smooth: A plain edge for medals, tokens, and modern marks.

How to make a bronze 3d coin on 3DLogo.io
- Open the coin studio and add a mark or a word.
- Pick Bronze in the Look panel; the smooth blank is the medal shape.
- Use a mid-tone background and the studio or sunset environment.
- Set depth and scale, then Still or a motion.
- Export PNG, GLB, or STL.
Exports and what Free includes
Coins export as PNG (1024 px free, 2K and 4K on Pro), as GLB with the metal material, or as STL for printing. Free exports carry a small 3dlogo.io mark; Pro removes it and adds HD MP4 of the coin in motion.
Bronze 3D coin questions
- Can I make a medal with a ribbon?
- The studio renders the coin or medal itself. Add the ribbon and mounting in your layout tool over a transparent PNG export.
- Is the bronze coin printable?
- STL export gives the relief geometry for a 3D printer; the metal finish is a render, not a material the printer reproduces.
