3D design

Custom 3D model design

Describe your idea, or share a sketch, photo or measurements. A vetted 3D design engineer from our US maker community designs a model you can print. The chat and the quote are free, and you see the price before you pay.

What our engineers design

From a broken clip to your own logo

CAD models for parts

Brackets, mounts, enclosures and replacement parts, designed to your measurements so they fit the first time. From a drawing, a photo or a broken original, with editable CAD such as STEP on request.

Edits to an existing file

Resize, repair, split or change an STL you already have so it prints and fits: add text, holes or mounting points, or fix files that fail in the slicer.

Gifts, figurines and cake toppers

Personal pieces designed from your photos and ideas.

Prototypes for a product idea

A model to test before you go further. Building a product as a business? See our 3D modeling agency page.

A copy of a real object

When you have the part but no file. See 3D scanning and reverse engineering.

How it works

STEP 1

Describe your idea

Create a free account, describe what you need and pick a timeline. Updates come by text or email.

STEP 2

Chat with an engineer

Share sketches, photos, measurements or files in the chat.

STEP 3

Get a written scope and price

Deliverables, milestones, a deadline and one price. You pay only when you accept it.

STEP 4

Review, then print if you want

You get 4 days to accept the design or ask for changes within the scope. Download the files, or have them printed and delivered.

What changes are included

Your scope says exactly what the engineer delivers. Changes that keep to that scope are part of the job until you accept the design. A new feature or a different design after you pay is a new quote. It's all in our Scope of Work policy, so you know before you start.

3D design FAQs

How much does a custom 3D model cost?

It depends on how complex the design is. The chat and the quote are free. Your engineer sends one price for the agreed scope, and you pay only when you accept it.

Can I ask for changes?

Yes, within the agreed scope. When the engineer marks the design complete, you have 4 days to accept it or request changes. New features after you pay are quoted separately.

How long does a design take?

Your engineer gives a timeline with the quote, and the scope lists the milestones and a deadline.

Can you turn my 2D logo into a 3D model?

Yes. Share the logo file you have in the chat, and the engineer quotes the 3D version and the print.

Can you fix or change an STL I already have?

Yes. Attach the file in the chat and describe the change. If it already prints as it is, upload it for an instant print quote instead.

What files do I get, and who owns them?

You get the files agreed in the scope, such as STL, OBJ, 3MF or STEP, and you own them. Intagly signs NDAs, and they cover the engineers and makers who work on your project.

Do I have to print with Intagly?

No. Download the files, or have them printed by our maker community and delivered to your door. See how distributed manufacturing works.
