formZ

Open a blank canvas, drop in a ready-made part, and start shaping ideas in minutes. With formZ, quick concepting is straightforward: pull components from the built-in library, snap them together with precise guides, and adjust parameters to match real dimensions. Rough out a product, room layout, or massing study without fuss, then refine by converting primitives into editable solids. New to 3D? Begin with the free edition to sketch and iterate; when you need deeper control and advanced tools, step up to pro with the same familiar workspace.

Move from blocking to detail by mixing polygonal, surface, and solid methods. Push and pull faces, apply fillets, cut openings with clean booleans, or switch to subdivision sculpting for flowing forms with symmetry and crease control. Import sketches as references, trace, and loft into watertight bodies. If you have a physical sample, capture it with a supported camera or bring in a scan; align, trim, and wrap it into a clean mesh ready for measurement or remodeling. Organize work with layers, groups, and saved views so teams can follow your intent.

When it’s time to show progress, assign materials from a PBR library, tweak roughness and color, and place lights or an HDR environment for believable results. Set up multiple cameras, lock exposure, and preview in the interactive viewport before committing to high-quality renders. Batch out stills, turntables, or short fly-throughs for reviews. Create scene states to toggle options, and export shaded orthographics for quick callouts. Share compressed previews with a link or post directly to your social channels for fast feedback.

Ready to make it real? Run print checks to catch non-manifold edges, inverted normals, and thin walls, then auto-repair and decimate where needed. Scale to print volume, set tolerances, and export STL, OBJ, or 3MF for your slicer. For teams, real-time collaboration keeps everyone in the same file—see live cursors, add comments, and resolve markups as you model. Hand off a lightweight package with textures and references, or sync a central file for continuous updates. From idea to render to physical prototype, the workflow stays fast and consistent.
