"Visualize your product before you build it.
Sell your concept before you manufacture it."

From napkin sketches to manufacturing-ready files, our 3D team transforms concepts into reality. Whether you need a photorealistic prototype to pitch investors or a forensic animation to win a court case, we provide the high-fidelity assets you need.

Software Expertise: We utilize industry-standard tools like SolidWorks, Maya, and KeyShot to deliver files compatible with 3D printing (STL), manufacturing (STEP), and marketing materials.

Photorealistic Rendering

Create stunning, lifelike images of your product for marketing, packaging, and investor decks. Show materials, lighting, and textures that look indistinguishable from a photograph — often before a physical prototype exists.

Forensic & Trial Animations

Support your patent infringement or trial case with 3D animations that explain complex mechanics to a judge and jury. Visualize the “invisible” internal workings of your invention with cutaways, exploded views, and motion sequences.

Prototype & Manufacturing CAD

Manufacturing-ready 3D models in STEP, IGES, Parasolid, and native SolidWorks. Send us sketches or reference photos and we’ll build a clean, parametric model your fabricator or 3D printer can work from on day one.

Patent Figures from a Single 3D Source

Once we build the model, generating orthographic, isometric, exploded, and sectional patent views becomes a rendering step — not a re-draw. This eliminates the drafting inconsistencies that trigger USPTO objections and keeps every figure in lock-step with the claims.

Take a look at our other services including patent drawings, technical illustrations, trial graphic services, and patent drafting & filing.

Our 3D Process

From your first sketch to final delivery — here’s how we work.

1. Brief & Reference Review

Send us whatever you have: napkin sketches, photos, competitor products, CAD files, or a verbal description. We review the inputs, flag any geometry that needs clarification, and return a written scope with a fixed fee and a delivery date — typically within one business day.

2. Base Model Build

We construct the base geometry in SolidWorks or Maya, depending on whether the downstream use is manufacturing or visualization. Parametric features are kept live so you can ask for changes later without forcing a rebuild from scratch.

3. Materials, Lighting & Scene

For renderings we move the model into KeyShot, apply accurate materials (brushed aluminum, glass, injection-molded plastic, anodized finishes), and light the scene to match how your audience will actually see the product — studio white for marketing, environmental for lifestyle, technical lighting for engineering.

4. Review & Revisions

You get a low-resolution proof first. We revise proportions, finishes, camera angles, and lighting based on your notes — unlimited rounds within the original scope. Only after you sign off do we commit GPU time to final high-resolution output.

5. Final Delivery

You receive final files in the formats you asked for — STL, STEP, IGES, OBJ, FBX, or native SolidWorks and Maya — plus high-resolution PNG, JPG, or TIFF renders. We keep the source files on file so future revisions, new angles, or additional marketing assets are quick and inexpensive.

6. Downstream Reuse

The same 3D asset we build for your investor pitch can later feed patent figures, trial exhibits, packaging renders, and e-commerce product images. Build it once, reuse it for the life of the product.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to the questions we hear most often.

Do I need to provide a 3D file, or can you model from drawings or photos?

You don't need existing 3D. We regularly build models from 2D drawings, reference photos, physical samples, or even verbal descriptions. If you do have CAD (STEP, IGES, SolidWorks, Parasolid), we can build on top of it to save time.

What 3D file formats can you deliver?

We deliver STL (for 3D printing), STEP / IGES / Parasolid (for manufacturing and downstream CAD), OBJ / FBX / 3DS (for visualization and animation pipelines), and native SolidWorks or Maya files on request. For renders, we output high-resolution PNG, JPG, or TIFF.

Can you create photorealistic renderings in addition to models?

Yes. Photorealistic rendering is one of our primary 3D deliverables. Using KeyShot and similar tools we produce marketing renders, investor-pitch visuals, packaging imagery, and lifestyle scenes that look indistinguishable from studio photography — often before a physical prototype exists.

Is 3D modeling useful for a patent application?

Often yes. A 3D model lets us generate consistent orthographic, isometric, exploded, and sectional views for the patent figures — all from a single source of truth — which eliminates the drafting errors that come from interpreting 2D sketches. The same model can then be reused for manufacturing, marketing, and trial graphics.

How long does a typical 3D modeling project take?

A single-part model from clear inputs can ship in 1–3 business days. Multi-part assemblies, rigged models for animation, or hero marketing renders typically take 1–2 weeks. Rush projects are available — tell us your deadline and we'll scope accordingly.
