# Introducing Express 3D: Generate a Production-Ready 3D Model for your product idea in minutes

## Move from product idea to manufacturing— fast.

Express 3D is now available inside Single Item projects, allowing you to generate a production-ready 3D model for your product idea, review real-time pricing, select materials, and place your order — all in one place. 

Express runs alongside our designer-led workflow, giving you a streamlined option when speed matters.

**What Express 3D Does**

Express 3D converts an image of your design — whether jewelry, hardware, homegoods or other small-batch products — into a 3D model file suitable for manufacturing.

This means you can:

- Generate design variations of your idea OR upload your own reference image
- Select your preferred version
- Convert it into a 3D model
- Specify dimensions
- Move directly to production

All within the same workflow.

#### **How to Use Express 3D**

1. Start a Single Item project.
2. Generate design variations from your inspiration (or upload your own image!)
3. Select a design you want to produce.
4. Click Generate 3D Model.

Within minutes, your 3D model will be ready to review, size, choose your materials, polish and more. [Learn More](https://support.gildform.com/migration/how-to-use-express-3d?hsLang=en)

#### **Choosing the Right Path**

Express 3D is ideal for:

- Solid, single-piece objects
- Signet rings
- Bands
- Pendants
- Clean, continuous forms

For more complex builds with chains with separate links, mechanical components, or multi-part assemblies — our CAD designers remain available for collaborative development.

Express 3D adds a faster option. It does not replace designer-led projects.
