CGTrader launches API for customers and 3D content creators

Being one of the largest marketplaces for 3D models worldwide, CGTrader is excited to officially release its API covering businesses both interested in uploading 3D models to CGTrader and the ones looking to offer 3D designs to their customers.

“API launch is a meaningful step forward in expanding our 3D content library, creating business opportunities as well as improving designer workflows. We believe the API will benefit many players in the 3D industry, such as 3D scanning software developers, who will have an opportunity to upload and sell designs automatically, and 3D modeling or 3D printing services, which will expand their offering to the customers. 3D content is especially critical today, as growth in virtual and augmented reality as well as 3D printing is boosting demand for 3D models and access to 3D content library can be a source of competitive advantage”, said Dalia Lasaite, co-founder and CEO of CGTrader.

The API will enable 3D software developers, 3D modeling, scanning app creators or 3D designers to save loads of time and monetize their models by uploading them to the marketplace with minimal effort.

“Process of importing models manually requires a lot of time and effort. In this case API helps to increase its speed by providing one-click import opportunity for the high-volume content creators”,- added Lasaite.

API allows accessing a wide range of 3D content and will benefit any 3D printing service, 3D software vendor or manufacturing and retail business seeking to offer a huge breadth of products for their customers as well as other 3D marketplaces that are interested in collaboration with CGTrader.

“We are excited to provide the opportunity to get 3D printable model listings, images and purchase models on CGTrader through the API. This will be especially interesting for businesses seeking to expand their product catalogs, and software vendors aiming to ease 3D design workflows, thereby creating win-win partnerships”,- explained Lasaite.

CGTrader continues working on a variety of different integrations partnering up with such companies as Astroprint, Prototypster, Intel RealSense and looks forward to start new exciting projects with both 3D content creation professionals and distributors.
