3D Printing

Uploaded and Launched: CGTrader’s New Architectural 3D Models

CGTrader has made a lot of news this year and gone through a ton of changes since 2011 when Marius Kalytis founded the site; mainly as an e-shop for computer graphics.  Giving competitively higher commissions to artists and 3D modelers has worked out very well for attracting modellers with the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship.  After receiving funding from Practica and Intel Capital, and partnering with Sculpteo, a consumer can download a file of a model, receive a printed version of a model, or stream a model file directly to their own 3D printer.

Since the models are streamed directly to a client’s own printer, the source 3D model and the intellectual property of the designer are protected from unauthorized use and distribution, thanks to an agreement with 3D licensing provider, Authentise.

So at CGTrader, a company that focuses so much on securing the best models in the most ways for their growing consumer base, which 3D models are selling the most?

Whenever I hear about a great sounding 3D printing service, I always wonder, “Ok, but what are the numbers?  What exactly is selling? “

Luckily, CGTrader is happy to share.

Dalia Lasaite, CMO of CGTrader, said, “According to our data, architecture visualizations are among the top selling 3D models.  In those exasperating moments when you think you’ll never finish that project, our architecture 3D models are a vital resource.
