About this service
We take a product idea from sketch or description to a 3D model with realistic renders. The work covers form, proportions, materials and how a person holds or uses it. The model is built in proper CAD with real dimensions, so it can move on to engineering and prototyping rather than being redrawn from scratch.
A model that can move forward
There is a big difference between a 3D model that looks right and one that can be built. Visual sculpting tools produce attractive shapes quickly, but they often have no real dimensions, no wall thickness and no space for the parts that must go inside. When the project moves to engineering, the model is redrawn from scratch.
We build in proper CAD from the start, with real dimensions and placeholders for internal components such as batteries, circuit boards or motors. The renders look just as good, and the same model can go straight to an engineer, a prototyping workshop or a factory for an early conversation.
Form follows the hand
Many product concepts are designed to look good in a render from one flattering angle. Then the first prototype arrives and the product is uncomfortable to hold, awkward to open or tips over on a table. Those problems are cheap to fix in a sketch and expensive to fix in a mould.
We consider how the product is held, carried, opened, cleaned and stored from the first sketches. Where it matters, we print a quick rough model to check size and grip before refining the form. The concept you approve is one we expect to survive contact with real hands.
What you get
Everything below is in the price. Nothing here is an upgrade.
- Concept sketches
- 3D CAD model
- Photoreal renders
- STEP and STL files
- Dimensioned overview drawing
What changes
- A 3D model built to real dimensions in CAD, not only a visual sculpt
- Form explored in several directions before one is developed
- Photoreal renders in the materials and finishes you are considering
- A model ready to hand to an engineer or a prototyping workshop
How it runs
Sketch
Several form directions drawn quickly to compare.
Model
The chosen direction built in CAD to real dimensions.
Refine
Proportions, details and ergonomics adjusted on the model.
Render
Materials, colours and settings rendered for presentation.

Questions
Is the model ready to manufacture?
Not yet. It is ready for engineering and prototyping. Making it manufacturable involves wall thickness, draft angles and tolerances, which is the design for manufacturing offer.
Who owns the design?
You do. All design rights transfer to you on payment. We sign a non-disclosure agreement before you share the idea if you want one.
Should we patent first?
We cannot give legal advice. Speak to a patent attorney about timing before you show the design publicly.
