When searching for 3D modeling companies to work on your project, you certainly have a lot of choices out there. It is important to note that your ultimate decision will depend on several factors that are specific to your product. After browsing through a company’s website and looking at their case studies, it is important to schedule an introductory call to discuss their service offering in greater detail. Having said this, we decided to make the selection process a little bit simpler and rank the top 10 modeling companies on the market today.

Skywell Software is one of the top 3D modeling & design companies because of its experience and range of service offerings. They offer comprehensive 3D modeling services in a wide range of industries such as E-commerce, Corporate Training, Real Estate, Game Dev, Automotive, Engineering, and many others as well. Their portfolio is also very impressive, with clients like Mondelēz International, Wizzzi, and many others as well. It’s very hard to find a company that has experience in such a wide range of industries and also extensive expertise with a broad range of technology that is needed to provide quality 3D modeling services. The combination of a range of industries, service offerings, and portfolio of clients propel Skywell Software to the top of the list.

KDE is a creative studio that specializes in Product Design and Manufacturing. They are a top-tier product design and industrial design service. Since 2013, they have gradually carved our name for themselves, and they are actively expanding their reach. After looking through their website, it seems that their main focus is on the manufacturing sector. If you are in this industry, then KDE is one of the 3D modeling studios you may want to consider. Another interesting thing is that they do not list any of their clients or case studies on their website. This makes it difficult to evaluate the quality of their work.

Design 1st is a full-service industrial design and engineering firm that develops simple, compelling products that incorporate human behavioral science to support an organizations’ business and marketing goals. They have been in business for more than 25 years now and helped Entrepreneurs, Start-Ups, and Enterprise organizations across Canada and the United States transform ideas into winning products across various industries, including — but not limited to — mining, telecommunications, etc. healthcare, and robotics. Their portfolio of clients also looks impressive with case studies in professional equipment, smart offices, and many others as well.

notAnotherOne made the list of the top 3D designing companies because they recently won the 2021 Red Dot Award for tier design activities. They were also mentioned in the news on outlets like CNN, TechCrunch, and many others. Their Clutch profile has some very useful reviews with clients noting their skills and experience as one of the main reasons why they decided to choose them as their vendor. When looking at their case studies and service offering, it looks like their main focus is on developing hardware. Therefore, if you are looking to develop something like video games or a project for the metaverse, it does not seem like this would be the right company for the job.

According to its website, 4Design has more than 50 years of design and production experience, which would make it one of the most experienced companies on the market. One of the downsides is that they only have 2–9 people on staff, which makes you wonder if they would be able to handle a large project. Also, they are based in Australia with offices in New Zealand. You have to wonder about potential communication difficulties because of the time zone differential. However, this is something that can be worked around. Having said this, their list of case studies is impressive, with products developed in the business, medical and infrastructure industries. There’s even one in the mining vertical as well. That’s something you don’t see every day.

3D Tech has extensive experience offering a wide range of 3D services. However, when you visit their website, there doesn’t seem to be an English version. Only Ukrainian. This makes it hard to evaluate their service offering. You also have to wonder about whether or not their management and developers will be able to communicate effectively with clients. This is something you definitely will need to ask them about if this company makes your shortlist of candidates. On a positive note, their portfolio of clients seems impressive with notable companies such as Huawei Ukraine, Evixscan, Blackbelt, PGP Glass, Conreality, Modern Expo, Kness. Energy, Flarm, and many more. Their rates also seem to be fairly reasonable, if the prices on their Clutch profile are accurate.

WeSoftYou is a fairly large company and has been identified by Clutch as the #1 growing company in the world. They have a long and impressive list of clients, including large companies like Audi, Baker Stewart, and many others. They also provide services in 3D modeling websites, which is with a lot of case studies to back this up. All in all, this seems like a very reputable company that can help you implement a wide range of projects at very affordable rates.

Idea Reality is a small 3D design studio based in Hampshire, UK. They offer a wide range of 3D design services, but it seems like they are mainly focused on hardware products after looking at their case studies. Still, the list of products created with their help is pretty impressive, especially if you consider the many industries where all of these products can be applied. They work on innovative ideas, engineer and prototype designs, and work with manufacturers to mass-produce and launch each new product. They have many positive reviews on Clutch, which offers potential customers a glimpse into the quality of their work.

Concepter is an award-winning product design and engineering studio. They help customers build products that maximize the impression on people and minimize the impact on the planet. They are designing sophisticated tech products that people love to use while keeping sustainability in mind. When looking at their website, they indeed boast some impressive statistics, mainly that 1 million people use their products. The only thing you may want to think about is that their case studies are only on the IoT and Medical industries. If you are in another industry, you will need to do your due diligence in deciding whether or not this is the right company for your project.

Peschkedesign develops user-oriented physical and digital products for progressive companies, ranging from start-ups to large corporations. Through the professional implementation of forward-thinking ideas, their designs lead to measurable economic success. There is a simple yet essential aspect to the market success of our products: they are tailored to their clients’ needs and focus on the end-user experience of their respective target groups. One problem you may experience with this company is that they do not have an English version of their website. They seem to have created some impressive products, but it is hard to read about them unless you are fluent in German.

As you have seen from the list of companies presented, there are many great studios offering a wide range of 3D design services. However, they seem to be focused on only a small group of industries and developing only specific types of products. Skywell Software offers much more experience in a wide range of industries and has developed many different products for some of the world’s leading brands.
