Text, photo or mesh in — printable geometry out
Describe the thing.
Keep the mesh.
A generator for people who open the file afterwards. Quad-friendly topology, PBR maps that survive the export, and a triangle count you set before you spend a single unit.
No card. The viewer and the converter stay free forever.
01 / Write the order
Every job is one line: what goes in, what comes out, what it costs.
Pass
Draft: fast, 8K triangles
02 / Pipeline
One brief, carried all the way through
The same order followed from the sentence you type to the file your slicer opens. Nothing here is a separate product you pay for twice.

STEP 010 u
The brief
Plain language, or a photo, or a mesh you already own. An avoid-list keeps out what you do not want.
STEP 02
The mesh
You pick the triangle budget and the topology before it runs, so the result arrives already fit for its job.
STEP 03included
The finish
Eight finishes re-shade the same geometry — clay, metal, plastic, sketch — without spending another unit.

The hand-off
Six formats, plus a direct send to the slicers most people actually use.
03 / Matrix
What it can make, and what each one costs
The whole product is this table. Rows are what you hand in, columns are what comes back, and the number is what leaves your balance.
| Hand in → | 3D model | Image | Video | Texture only |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A sentence | — | — | — | — |
| One photo | — | — | — | — |
| Two to four photosNEW | — | — | — | — |
| A mesh you already have | — | — | — | — |
| A file to convert or inspect | free | free | — | — |
Low figure = draft pass. High figure = fine pass with PBR maps. One unit is one cent of provider cost, so these move only when their prices move. Image and video are priced but have no provider yet; neither does re-texturing a mesh.

Two tools that never charge you
Format converter
It runs inside your tab, so the file never leaves the machine. It reads seven formats and writes six.

Where the file goes next
Nothing proprietary, nothing locked. These are the places our exports are tested against before a release ships.

Made on free units
Public, credited, reusable
Anything the free bench produces is published to the catalogue under CC BY 4.0. Anyone may use it, including commercially, as long as they credit you. This is the trade for free compute, and it is stated before you press run — never after.
Made on a paid plan
Private, and yours
Paid output is private by default, never added to the catalogue, and yours to sell, licence or ship inside a product. You can publish a piece to the catalogue on purpose, but nothing goes there on its own.

08 / FAQ
Questions people actually ask
Can I print what comes out, or is it just for screens?+−
Print is the default assumption. You can set a triangle budget and quad-friendly topology before the run, and export STL for your slicer.
What happens to my units when a job fails?+−
They come back. A failed or cancelled job is refunded to your balance automatically and shows as its own refund line in the ledger. You never have to ask.
Do my units expire at the end of the month?+−
Yes. Plan units reset to the full allowance on your renewal date, and anything unspent does not carry over. The reset is recorded as its own line in your ledger.
Can I re-texture a model I made somewhere else?+−
Yes. Hand in a mesh, describe the surface you want, and new PBR maps are baked onto the geometry you already have.
How many jobs can run at the same time?+−
One on the free bench, two on Studio, four on Workshop and eight on Foundry. Anything past that waits in your own queue and can be cancelled without charge.
120 units are waiting on your bench
Roughly ten draft models, or four fine ones with full PBR maps. Enough to find out whether the geometry holds up in your own pipeline.
