What is Meshy used for?

Meshy is an AI 3D model generator that turns text, images, and chat prompts into production-ready 3D assets for games, AR/VR, 3D printing, and design.

Is Meshy free to use?

Yes. Meshy offers a free plan with 100 credits per month — no credit card required — so you can generate models before upgrading.

Do I need 3D modeling experience to use Meshy?

No. Meshy automates mesh, texture, and rigging generation, and the 3D Agent guides beginners from idea to finished model through chat.

Does Meshy offer an API?

Yes. The Meshy API provides REST endpoints for Text to 3D, Image to 3D, texturing, remeshing, and animation, along with an API Playground for no-code testing and an MCP server for AI-agent integration.

What can I create with Meshy?

Characters, props, environment objects, vehicles, figurines, and product models — from game assets to 3D-printable miniatures.

What file formats can I export from Meshy?

Meshy exports GLB, FBX, OBJ, STL, USDZ, and 3MF, covering game engines, 3D printing, AR, and DCC tools.

Welcome to Meshy

Welcome to the official Meshy documentation. Learn how to create production-ready 3D assets from text, images, and conversations — in the web app, inside your 3D tools and printing software, or programmatically with the API.

What is Meshy

Meshy is an AI-powered 3D modeling platform that transforms text descriptions, 2D images, and conversational prompts into production-ready 3D assets. Whether you're a game developer prototyping characters, a 3D artist exploring concepts, a maker creating custom gifts, or a hobbyist building models for 3D printing, Meshy provides an end-to-end workflow from generation to post-processing to export.

The platform is built around Workspace 3.0, which organizes all tools into six modules: Image, 3D Model, 3D Printing, Animate, Scene, and Video. In addition, Meshy 3D Agent introduces a conversational workflow that lets you brainstorm, explore, and create 3D models through a single chat.

Ways to Use Meshy

You can use Meshy in four ways, all backed by the same generation models and your Meshy account — each has its own section in these docs.

Web App

The complete Meshy experience in your browser, with nothing to install. Generate, edit, animate, and prepare models for printing in Workspace 3.0, and manage every asset you create in one place. If you're new to Meshy, start here: Getting Started with the Web App.

API

Build 3D generation into your own products and pipelines. The Meshy API provides endpoints for Text to 3D, Image to 3D, texturing, remeshing, and animation, with an API Playground for testing requests without writing code and an MCP server for connecting AI agents to Meshy. See the API documentation to make your first request.

Plugins

Bring Meshy into the tools you already use. Official plugins and the DCC Bridge connect your workspace to Blender, Unity, Unreal Engine, Maya, and more, so generated models land directly in your scene. Browse the plugin documentation to set up your tool.

3D Printing Platforms

Take a model from generation to print. Meshy integrates with popular slicers and printing platforms — including Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer, Creality Print, and Snapmaker — so print-ready models move straight from your workspace into your printing software. See the 3D printing platform guides.
