What is PlakHäus?

PlakHäus is a web app for making decorative relief wall panels. You drop in an image or pick a pattern from its built-in library, preview it as a tiling relief, then set plate size and depth in millimeters. It exports a validated binary STL or 3MF, so you can print panels and tile them across a wall.

What sets it apart is mold making. PlakHäus can generate the negative mold for any panel automatically, so you print the mold once and cast the design many times in plaster or concrete. An optional Gemini integration can suggest pattern variations, but the core engine runs locally in your browser and can be installed as an app on Windows, macOS or Linux.

PlakHäus also runs as a MakerLab app. Its MakerLab listing offers a complete free path to a usable model with a MakerWorld account, and sells optional Design ($19.90) and Fabrication ($9) packs for advanced image, pattern, sizing, tongue-and-groove and wall-ready tools. The standalone app on plakhaus.com is sold as a one-time purchase through the PlakHäus campaign on MakerWorld. PlakHäus is part of Genform (gen-form.com), a suite of no-CAD generators that also includes LumHaus lamps, Cavity molds, Taghaus QR cards and Hey Buddy characters, with plans that add a store, checkout and on-demand manufacturing. It suits makers decorating a room, selling wall art, or experimenting with plaster casting.
