What Is 3D Product Modelling?

Definition.

3D Product modelling refers to creating digital representations or models of a product using computer-aided design (CAD) software. It involves creating three-dimensional (3D) models that accurately depict a product’s physical characteristics, dimensions, and properties.

Cheaper Alternative.

Value.

Product modelling is commonly used in various industries, including manufacturing, engineering, architecture, and product design. It allows designers, engineers, and manufacturers to visualise and analyse a product before it is physically built, helping them make informed decisions and identify potential issues or improvements early in the design process.

How Can Product Modelling Help You?

Advantages.

Product Visualisation.

3D models provide a realistic and immersive visual representation of your product. They allow you to see the product from different angles, explore its features, and understand its overall appearance and aesthetics. This helps you visualise the final product before investing in physical manufacturing.

Design Evaluation & Iteration.

With 3D product modelling, you can evaluate and iterate the design quickly and efficiently. Without physical prototypes, you can modify the model and test different design variations, materials, or features. This iterative process helps identify potential issues or improvements early, saving time and resources.

Communication & Collaboration.

3D models act as a visual language that facilitates stakeholder communication and collaboration. Designers, engineers, manufacturers, and clients can all easily understand and provide feedback on the design, ensuring everyone is on the same page and reducing misunderstandings.

Cost & Time Savings.

By utilising 3D product modelling, you can save costs and time associated with traditional design and prototyping methods. Rapid design iterations and virtual simulations help eliminate errors, reduce rework, and optimise the design before physical manufacturing. This leads to overall cost savings and shorter time-to-market.

Marketing & Sales.

3D product models are valuable for marketing and sales purposes. They can be used to create high-quality renderings, animations, or interactive presentations that showcase the product’s features, functionality, and benefits.

These visual assets can be used in promotional materials, websites, catalogues, or sales pitches to attract customers and generate interest.

Product Design

Development.

We live in a digital age and almost everything you see has begun its life in 3D, whether it be buildings or products. Computer processing has helped us push beyond what could have ever been imagined.

While 2D modelling was used for many years, 3D modelling has now taken its place. 3D product modelling is a vital part of product design for many reasons.

To begin with, it helps spot costly design mistakes.

How to Create 3D Product Models?

Process.

Step 1

Conceptualisation

This stage involves defining the product concept and gathering requirements and specifications. It also includes understanding the product’s purpose, functionality, target audience and desired features.

Step 2

Ideation

At this stage, designers create rough or digital sketches to explore various design ideas and variations. These sketches help visualise the product’s form and identify potential design directions.

Step 3

Detailed Product 3D Modelling

Once the design concept is finalised, designers use CAD software to create a detailed 3D model of the product. This involves defining the product’s geometry, dimensions, features, and materials.

Step 4

Design & Refinement

Based on feedback and analysis, the 3D model undergoes iterations and refinements. Designers and engineers evaluate the model, make necessary modifications, and optimise the design for functionality, manufacturability, and aesthetics.

What Do I Need to Get Started?

Project Checklist.

• MOOD BOARDS
• MATERIAL GUIDE
• TECHNICAL DRAWINGS OR DIAGRAMS
• PHYSICAL PRODUCT IF PRESENT

Although companies do not need all of the above, these will make the project much smoother.

Product Modelling Workflow

Execution.

Starting a project

Firstly, to begin a project, clients provide all the information required. For product visualisations, we require things such as drawings, design specifications, sketches, mood boards or other type of information you may have.

Reviewing information

Check all the clients’ content and ask for more details if necessary. In addition, a phone call or Teams meeting is always beneficial. This helps avoid any misconception and allows us to shorten turnaround times for 3D modelling services.

Execution

We start working as soon as we understand all of the details the task requires, and time frames have been agreed by both parties. Our 3D artists keep in constant contact with the clients throughout this process, with regular updates.

Reviewing

After that, we present draft 3D models to you for comments and review and finally make the adjustments.

Approval

The client accepts the drafts for final models.
