About 3DGigs

3DGigs is a modeling-led manufacturing marketplace that helps turn ideas into production-ready outcomes.

We connect customers who need CAD design, 3D modeling, or manufacturing execution with skilled makers who can deliver real, verifiable results.
Whether you are starting with a rough concept or a finalized CAD file, 3DGigs provides a clear path from idea to execution using a structured request flow:

Unlike print-only platforms, 3DGigs is built around design first, execution second.
That means projects are shaped to be manufacturable and aligned with real production needs—not just printable files.

What Is a Modeling-led Manufacturing Marketplace?

A modeling-led manufacturing marketplace starts with the most important step in custom production: the design.
If the CAD model is wrong, manufacturing becomes expensive, slow, and unpredictable. 3DGigs is built to reduce that risk by making
modeling the gatekeeper and manufacturing the downstream execution layer.

Modeling-first workflows reduce production risk

When design files are accurate and production-ready, the path to manufacturing is clearer: fewer revisions, fewer surprises, and better outcomes.
This is why 3DGigs emphasizes CAD quality, clear scope, and deliverable-driven execution.

Why a Modeling-led Approach Matters in Manufacturing

Many marketplaces treat “3D printing” as the entire workflow. In real product development, printing and fabrication come after the design is ready.
3DGigs helps customers start correctly: create or refine a model first, then execute manufacturing with confidence.

From 3D Modeling to Production-Ready Manufacturing

Customers come to 3DGigs at different stages. Some need a model created from scratch. Others already have CAD files and need execution.
Our process supports both, while keeping the workflow clear and outcome-focused.

Modeling comes first. Production follows when the design is right.

For Customers: Start with Design or Move to Execution

3DGigs supports customers at different points in the lifecycle:

  • Start with CAD design and 3D modeling: work with makers to create models, refine geometry, and prepare production-ready files.
  • Move directly to manufacturing execution: if you already have production-ready files, connect with makers who can manufacture to spec.
  • Review proof of capability before you choose: makers list real products and models to sell and to demonstrate what they can deliver.

For Makers: Build Credibility Through Real Work

3DGigs is designed for makers who take design quality and delivery seriously.
Makers can earn through both listings and project work, while building credibility through completed outcomes.

  • List products and models: sell production-ready models and manufactured products in the marketplace, and use listings as proof of capability.
  • Apply to aligned projects: engage with customer requests that match your skills in modeling or manufacturing execution.
  • Deliver and build repeat work: clear communication and reliable fulfillment strengthen credibility over time.

How 3DGigs Connects Modeling and Manufacturing

3DGigs is structured to keep projects clean and predictable. Customers start by choosing a goal, makers respond based on fit,
and delivery moves from design to execution with clear scope. For customers who do not need custom work, the marketplace provides a faster path.
