Features of the 3D product designer
Everything your shoppers can do, everything you can set up, and everything you get for printing. Every plan includes all of it.
3Designer has three sides. Shoppers get a design studio on a live 3D product. You get a back office in WooCommerce: products, print areas, prices, templates and the look of the designer. Your printer gets files at the right size. Below is all of it.
Setting it up step by step is in the docs. Weighing up 3D against a flat designer? Read 2D vs 3D product designer.
For your shoppers
A real design studio, on a live 3D product.
Live 3D preview
Every change appears on the 3D model at once. Drag to turn it, scroll or pinch to zoom, and see the print the way it will sit on the product.
Front, back and sleeves
Several print areas per product. When the shopper switches area, the camera flies to that side of the model.
Text
19 fonts, curved text for arcs and badges, outlines and shadows, letter and line spacing, alignment. The text color starts readable on the product's color.
Photos
Upload a photo, crop it (free or square), make it black and white or sepia, change brightness and contrast. A warning shows when a photo is too small to print sharp. Big phone photos are shrunk in the browser before they upload.
Clip art
Built-in vector graphics that stay sharp at any size, recolorable by the shopper.
Templates
Ready-made designs you create in the designer, with your own logos and photos in them, sorted in categories. Shoppers start from one and change the words.
Draw
A pen for drawing freehand, straight onto the product.
Editing basics
Undo and redo, layers, duplicate, flip, lock, transparency, nudging with the arrow keys, snap guides to the edges and the center of the print area.
Phone first
On a phone the canvas fills the screen, the 3D view sits in a small bubble, and the tools open as sheets. One tap swaps to the big 3D view.
For your shop
Set it up once, sell it on every product.
Ready-made products
A classic T-shirt, a fitted T-shirt, a long-sleeve T-shirt and a hoodie, with print areas already placed. One click adds them.
Your own 3D models
Upload a GLB or glTF model (compressed models work too) and place each print area by clicking on the model.
Prices per print area
Charge for the back or a sleeve only when the shopper designs it. WooCommerce adds the tax; show prices with or without VAT.
Variable products
Bind the product's color to your WooCommerce variations, so shoppers can only pick colors you stock.
The design in the cart
Shoppers see a picture of their design in the cart and at checkout, and can open it again to change it.
Your look
Choose which tools and fonts shoppers get, the designer's colors and the "Design now" button.
Translatable
Ready for WPML, Polylang and Loco Translate, including your own texts such as print area names.
Private uploads, protected shop
Shoppers' photos are private files. Limits per visitor and per shop stop anyone filling your server with uploads.
No Google Fonts, no CDNs
The designer, its fonts and its icons load from the 3Designer server, never from Google or other third parties.
For printing
Files your printer can use, straight from the order.
Press-ready print files
One PNG per print area, at the physical size and DPI you set for the product (300 DPI by default).
Real print sizes
Set each print area in millimeters, centimeters or inches. 3Designer warns when the design's proportions do not match the print size.
All files at once
Download every print file of an order as one zip.
Product pictures from 3D
Take the current 3D view as the WooCommerce product image, in one click.
