🐾 MEET HUDSON — A VERY SPECIAL FACILITY DOG 🐾
Valley3D recently had the incredible honor of working with a local facility dog named Hudson and his handler on one of the most meaningful projects we’ve ever taken on.
This project started with a simple idea — a custom name tag for Hudson’s service vest — and turned into something truly special.
Here’s what went into it 👇
🔹 We photographed Hudson and converted his image into a bold line art illustration
🔹 That artwork was turned into a print-ready SVG
🔹 We 3D printed a custom name tag built specifically for his service vest
🔹 And embedded a hidden RFID tag directly into the print
But that’s where this project really took the next step.
Working closely with Hudson’s handler, we gathered information about:
• Hudson’s background and training
• What a facility dog is and the role Hudson serves
• His handler and their work together
• Where Hudson was trained (Mutts With A Mission)
• A photo gallery
• Hudson’s social media accounts
We then designed a clean, easy-to-read digital information page, complete with:
✔️ Clickable links (including Mutts With A Mission)
✔️ Hudson’s Instagram
✔️ A QR code linking directly to his social media
That page was uploaded online, and the link was written directly to the RFID tag embedded inside Hudson’s name tag.
📱 With just a tap of a smartphone, anyone can instantly learn who Hudson is, the important work he does, and the organization that helped make it all possible.
This project wasn’t just about technology — it was about impact.
Hudson provides comfort, support, and assistance to people who are struggling or in need, and being trusted to create something that supports that mission means the world to us.
For Valley3D, this also marks a huge step forward — expanding what we’re capable of offering through custom design, embedded RFID technology, and meaningful, real-world applications.
Thank you to Hudson and his handler for trusting us with this project — and thank you to Mutts With A Mission for the incredible work you do.
🐶💙 This one will always be special.
