🚀 Big news: Canva has launched a 3D section in its Elements library — powered by CGTrader. 260M+ Canva users can now add and customize 3D models in their designs — from icons and characters to lifestyle and seasonal assets — no technical skills needed. We’re proud to be among the first external providers, contributing 1,200+ professional-grade models at launch. A big step in making 3D accessible to everyone. 👏 Thanks to our 12M+ designer community and to Canva for making this milestone possible. 👉 Check out the new 3D section in Canva’s Elements tab today.

CGTrader is at #MFR2025! 🚀 We’re bringing 3D creativity to life at Maker Faire Rome (Oct 17–19) — Area H, booth H.11–H.12. The event takes place at the extraordinary Gazometro in Rome, and judging by both the participants and the crowd, it seems to be an amazing weekend full of innovation and fun. 📸 Follow us on Instagram for behind-the-scenes moments and fun highlights from the event!

We are proud to celebrate our CEO Dalia Lasaite 🎉, named one of the Top 100 Women in Tech in Europe 2025 by Sifted, SISTAFUND and STATION F. Dalia leads CGTrader with expertise and vision, and this recognition highlights the impact she – and many other women in tech – are making on the industry. Congratulations, Dalia – a well-deserved recognition! ✨

CGTrader is joining the Blender community in Amsterdam this week! 🌍 The first day of BCON25 reminded us just how powerful this community is – artists, creators and innovators all in one place.🚀 If you’re here, drop us a message — let’s talk Blender, 3D, or just share a coffee (or a hotdog?😱🫠). Can’t wait to learn and see more in the remaining days 🤓

How do you make a 3D model 20x more profitable? Start with quality — and let the data guide the rest. In our 2025 3D Market Trends Report, we analyzed millions of transactions and upload patterns on the CGTrader marketplace across both CG and 3D print categories. Key insights: ✅ Model quality is still the most powerful multiplier: high-quality models earn up to 20x more — and buyers say they’re willing to pay for it (see chart). 📊 Categories with lower supply but steady demand (like Watercraft or Hobby & DIY) offer some of the highest revenue per model. 📦 PBR workflows and formats like Blender, glTF and USDZ continue to rise — and directly impact profitability. The report offers practical benchmarks for pricing, category performance, and file format trends.

👁️ I spy with my little eye… a 3D print - and so do thousands of buyers. We took another deep dive into data - this time into 3D print sales - and the trends are clear: demand is growing across every category, from fan art to home decor. 🎯 Top sellers: Miniatures, Art, Jewelry, Cosplay, Fantasy 📈 Rising fast: Science, Military, Home 🔍 Emerging: Events & Whimsical 📆 Sales spikes: March–May, Nov–Jan This isn’t just more sales. It’s broader demand, in more places, with more potential. Full article in the comments.

If your team needs a lot of 3D models, you’ve probably asked yourself: Go with stock models or invest in custom production? There’s no one-size-fits-all answer - both can give you speed, quality, consistency, and a reasonable price. But depending on your project, one might serve you better than the other. We’ve put together a quick & clear comparison of CGTrader Marketplace (stock assets) and Modelry (custom 3D at scale) - covering delivery speed, file precision, and how involved your team needs to be. Think of it as a quiet conversation between two colleagues - one’s fast and easygoing, the other prefers to follow a spec sheet. 📊 Slide through to see which fits your needs best. Feel free to reach out!

💡 Need Custom 3D Models on a Stock Model Budget? Enterprise teams frequently ask us how to achieve consistency and quality when sourcing large volumes of 3D assets. While marketplaces offer quick and affordable solutions, they can sometimes present challenges such as varied file formats, inconsistent textures, and hidden complexities within model files. One effective solution we’ve seen is to custom-produce models based on clearly defined technical requirements. This approach helps teams maintain control over quality, structure, and delivery at scale. ✅ That’s exactly what Modelry is built for. Modelry is a 3D model production platform by CGTrader, designed for enterprises that need high volumes of custom 3D assets - produced to spec, at scale, and with a structured workflow. Here's a straightforward approach we've found effective with our enterprise clients using Modelry: 1️⃣ The client defines clear technical requirements upfront: → File formats; → Textures and materials; → Naming conventions; → Desired level of detail. 2️⃣ Modelry provides visual previews before production to ensure alignment with expectations and avoid surprises. 3️⃣ After each model is submitted, Modelry runs automated validation processes (200+ technical checks) to verify compliance with specifications. 4️⃣ Finally, the internal QA team performs manual review to catch issues that automation may miss. 📝 Each model can come with a custom license, giving the client full control over how the models will be used. However, where the license allows, designers are free to resell their models - keeping the process ethical and price competitive. This structured approach helps enterprise clients reduce internal workload while gaining control over consistency, quality, and delivery. Modelry is not a regular studio. With a global 3D community of over 4M creators and over 100,000 designers currently producing assets specifically for Modelry enterprise clients, production can scale to meet virtually any demand. 🌍🚀 📩 Building a 3D dataset?
