Download generic 3D models from online libraries
If you are looking for generic 3D models, this is a quick and affordable way. You can try online libraries like Turbosquid or 3D Warehouse to search for the 3D model you want. Keep in mind that depending on your configurator, you may need to modify the 3D model, such as converting it to the correct format, modifying the UV map, or other changes.
Use the search bar to find the model you need by typing in keywords like “furniture,” “jersey,” “ring,” etc. Once you’ve found a model that’s right for you, check the licensing terms to make sure it meets your usage needs; some models are free for personal or commercial use, while others may require payment. Then, click the download button, select your preferred file format (such as GLB, gltf, or OBJ), and save the file to your computer. If you download other formats (such as FBX, STL, etc.), you will first need to convert them to the correct format before uploading them to Simplio3D

There are situations where companies or individual users already have a CAD file that can be converted to the correct format and uploaded to Simplio3D. Companies in the furniture, construction, fashion industries, most have a 3D version of their product. This is usually half the work done and if there is someone on the company staff familiar with CAD and 3D modeling in general, they can handle the entire process without outsourcing the work. If you have any questions about how to obtain the desired 3D model for the configurator, do not hesitate to contact us.
