Describe it.
Print it.
Cut it.
Unico3D turns a sentence or a photo into a 3D model, tagged with how you'll make it — 3D print, CNC, laser-cut leather, metal — and hands you an STL already sized for your machine.
For print farms, machine shops, leatherworkers, blacksmiths and anyone with a printer in the garage. Built by E1 Unico. Opening in early access — join the list.
How It Works
Three steps from idea to machine.
Describe it, or snap it
Type what you need — "a phone stand with a cable slot" — or upload a photo of the thing. Unico3D builds the 3D model.
Say how you'll make it
3D print (filament or resin), CNC, laser-cut leather, or metal. Set the material and the real size in millimeters. Each method comes with a short what-it-wants guide.
Download and go
Grab the STL or 3MF — already rotated for your slicer and scaled to the size you gave — a cut profile as SVG / DXF for the laser, or the raw OBJ / GLB for CAD. Open it in Cura, Bambu Studio, LightBurn, Fusion, Lychee… whatever you run.
Built For
Every kind of maker.
3D print
Filament or resin. STL sized to your bed, rotated the way the slicer expects.
CNC
The shape for your CAM software. A machinable STEP is a later step — we say so.
Leather
Model the piece in 3D; take the cut profile as SVG straight to the laser.
Metal
STL patterns for casting; DXF cut profiles for plasma and waterjet.
Why Unico3D
The model, and the business around it.
Generators make a mesh and stop. Unico3D knows what you're going to do with it — and, if you sell what you make, your quotes, invoices and customers are already next door.
| What matters | Unico3D | A standalone generator |
|---|---|---|
| Where your shop runs | ✓Inside UnicoOS — same login as your quotes, invoices and customers | A separate tool, a separate account |
| From idea to model | ✓A sentence or a photo | Hours in CAD, or hire it out |
| Ready for the machine | ✓STL / 3MF rotated and sized for the slicer; SVG / DXF profiles for the laser | Convert, rotate and scale by hand |
| Fabrication-aware | ✓Print / CNC / leather / metal, each with its own guide | A generic mesh |
| How you pay | ✓Per model, with UnicoAI credits | Another monthly subscription |
Unico3D is in early access. Per-model pricing will be published at launch — this page is not a live offer.
Where It Stands
Built, and next — in plain terms.
Built
- ✓Text → 3D model (fast preview, then a textured refine)
- ✓Photo → 3D model
- ✓Tag each design: 3D print (filament / resin), CNC, laser leather, metal — with material and size in mm
- ✓A short "what this method wants" guide for every design
- ✓Download STL and 3MF — Z-up, scaled to your size — plus OBJ / GLB / FBX / USDZ
- ✓Cut profiles as SVG / DXF for laser leather and sheet metal — the outline at any height
- ✓Spin the model around in the page before you download
- ✓Print facts: volume, surface, estimated weight for your material, watertight check
- ✓Quote it: the part goes straight onto an estimate for a customer, then an invoice
- ✓Files kept in Unico's own storage — a design outlives the vendor's link
- ✓Designs scoped to your business, never another's

Straight Answers
Questions, answered honestly.
What is Unico3D?
A design desk for makers. You describe a part (or upload a photo), Unico3D generates a 3D model, you tag it with how it'll be made — 3D print, CNC, laser-cut leather, or metal — plus the material and real-world size, and you download a file your machine understands. It's built into UnicoOS, so a maker who also runs a shop has their quotes, invoices and customers in the same place.
Do I need UnicoOS to use it?
Unico3D lives inside UnicoOS today — it has its own front door, and a free sign-up as a 3D-printing / CNC / fabrication business drops you straight into it. A standalone Unico3D app and domain are on the roadmap; you don't have to use anything else in UnicoOS to use Unico3D.
What files do I get?
A binary STL and a 3MF project file, both already rotated to Z-up and scaled so the longest side matches the size you set — the files every slicer opens; cut profiles as SVG / DXF (the outline of a section at any height) for laser cutters, plasma and waterjet; plus the model's native OBJ / GLB / FBX / USDZ for CAD and viewers.
Does it do CNC and metal, not just 3D printing?
It gives you the shape for all of them: the STL or OBJ goes into your CAM software (Fusion, Carbide Create) for CNC, and casting shops take the STL for a pattern. A true solid (STEP) for machining is a different pipeline and isn't here yet. For leather and sheet metal you get a cut profile — the outline of a section through the model at the height you pick — as SVG for the laser or DXF for the plasma table; for a flat piece that is the pattern. Unfolding a curved surface into a flat pattern is still on the list.
Is it available now?
It's opening in early access. The engine behind it is being connected and priced; join the list and you'll hear the moment it's on. Nothing on this page is a live offer.
How much does a model cost?
Per model, with the UnicoAI credits you already use across Unico apps — a quick preview is cheaper than a textured refine or a photo-to-3D run. We'll publish the exact figures at launch, not before.
Can I edit the model?
Not inside Unico3D — it's a generator, not a CAD editor. You can spin it around in the page, read its volume, weight and watertight check, and download the OBJ / GLB to tweak it in Blender, Fusion, Tinkercad or whatever you use.
What happens to my prompts and photos?
They're used to generate your model and nothing else. Designs belong to your business in UnicoOS — another business can't see them. Prompts and photo links go to the 3D engine; your customer and company data never do.
