3D product rendering services for manufacturers.
Photoreal product images made from your CAD instead of a photo shoot: one consistent standard across the whole range, every colour and option, available before the first unit leaves the assembly hall.
Catalogue-ready images, not test renders.
Every image is delivered in print and web sizes with a transparent version, on a background that matches your existing catalogue.
- Studio imagesWhite, grey or dark backgrounds with a consistent camera and lighting rule across the range.
- Colour and optionsRAL colours, housings, connectors and configurations from one model, at a fraction of the first image.
- Cutaways and x-raySection views that show the seal, the impeller or the sensing element the buyer is paying for.
- Exploded viewsNumbered illustrations for manuals and spare parts catalogues. Exploded views
- Files4K and 300 dpi print files, web-optimised WebP or PNG, transparent backgrounds, named for your DAM or PIM.
When rendering beats photography
Photography works for one finished product in one place. It stops working when the range has forty variants, when the product is installed in a customer plant, when the surface is polished stainless that reflects the whole studio, or when marketing needs images before production starts. A render is built from the same CAD your engineers release for manufacturing, so it is dimensionally exact and it exists the day the design is frozen.
The second advantage is consistency. Catalogues built over years end up with five lighting styles and three camera heights. We set one camera and lighting rule and apply it to every product, so the range reads as one family on the page and on a distributor's website.
Products we render
Pumps, valves, compressors, filters, drives and actuators, sensors and instruments, welding equipment, hand tools, HVAC units, and complete machines and lines. For large assemblies see industrial machine rendering, and for parts and sub-assemblies equipment and component rendering.
From CAD to image in four steps
- Send the CAD. STEP, IGES, JT, Parasolid or native SolidWorks, Inventor, Creo, NX or CATIA, with a reference photo if one exists.
- Preparation. The model is converted, repaired and simplified, and real materials are built: cast iron, machined steel, anodised aluminium, glass-filled plastic.
- Look approval. You approve one finished image before the rest of the set is produced.
- Delivery. Final files in every size you need, and the model kept on file for the next variant.
What it costs
Published 2026 guides put studio product renders at $250 to $1,200 per image, and $400 to $2,000 at mid-range studios. Our component render is $450 for two views with the CAD preparation included, and from $290 each for ten or more in one standard. More detail is in the guide to machine rendering cost per image.
Prices.
Published, fixed and with CAD preparation included. Prices are for one machine or a compact line; components cost less and large multi-machine lines more.

How much do 3D product rendering services cost?
A component render with two views is $450, ten or more products in one standard are from $290 each, and a single machine render is $890. CAD preparation, one revision round and full commercial usage rights are included.
Do you need a physical sample?
No. We work from your CAD. A reference photo helps us match surface finish and colour, but the product never has to be shipped.
Can you match our existing catalogue style?
Yes. Send two or three current images and we match background, camera height and lighting so new and old images sit together.
How do we try you out first?
With the pilot project: three photoreal renders of one component or compact product for $800, delivered in 3 working days, one per company.
Who owns the images?
You receive full, permanent, worldwide commercial usage rights on final payment. Your CAD remains yours and is deleted on written request.
