PRINSTACART · DESIGN WORKFLOWS

Your ideas.
In a new dimension.

Start with a photo. Create a textured model, explore the details and carry your idea into the next stage.

Why a connected workspace?

Less distance between
an idea and a model.

Begin with a photo

Generate a visual 3D model from a reference image and keep its detailed original.

Explore workflow

Develop a part

Work with dimensions and supported CAD features when the geometry needs a defined purpose.

Explore workflow

Bring your files

Import supported models or ZIP collections, arrange parts and prepare your next review.

Connected services

Make room for
your next iteration.

Set a personal planning target. Confirm production dates separately in your project quotation.

From input to next step

One project.
Connected decisions.

Keep the purpose of your part visible while you explore the right route to making it.

Choose your starting point

A scope for your idea.

Every project is quoted against its part, quantity and agreed requirements.

A first physical idea

Starter

For individual concepts, display models and early fit checks.

One clearly defined part or model
A material and process discussion
Basic file readiness review
Finish and delivery agreed in the quotation

Custom quoteBased on your part and scope

Plan a starter project

A product taking shape

Professional

For designers, startups and engineering iterations.

Functional or presentation prototypes
Design refinement scoped as required
Critical dimensions and fit review
Finishing and iteration plan

Plan a professional project

A bigger manufacturing brief

Enterprise

For multi-part projects, repeat requirements and complex scopes.

A part list and quantity breakdown
Process and material evaluation
Inspection and documentation requirements
Milestones, packaging and delivery planning

The PrinstaCart approach

Designed with purpose

The questions that turn an attractive model into a more useful project.

Start with the purpose.

A useful model answers a real question. Decide whether you are exploring appearance, checking a fit or developing a functional part.

Project planning

Give dimensions a meaning.

Confirm the units, overall size and critical mating features before taking your model from the screen into manufacturing.

Dimensions & fit

Look beyond the surface.

A model that looks right still needs geometry checks. Inspect thin areas, separate shells and features that could be difficult to make.

Why PrinstaCart

Built around
your next idea.

Start where you are.

Bring a photo, a prompt or a supported design file. Choose the route that fits your starting point.

Keep your project connected.

Return to saved models and drafts in your account, with the context for your next revision.

Make the details count.

Review dimensions, purpose, material and finish before agreeing a manufacturing project.

Start creating

Keep exploring

Design. Make. Evaluate. Bring what you learn to the next revision.
