Open Meshy AI and have it ready before you start

Prepare your idea: A sketch or any 2D image.

Upload to Meshy: Navigate to Meshy's image to the 3D feature and upload your sketch. You'll see a preview in the corner to confirm the right image is loaded. Before generating it, configure your settings in the left panel, adjust target polycount, topology type, and enable symmetry if applicable.

Generate and Review 3D Model: Click Generate. Within a few minutes, Meshy produces a high-quality 3D model from your drawing. Use the viewer to rotate, zoom, and inspect the model from every angle. You can toggle between wireframe, material preview, and environment settings to evaluate quality. If the first result isn't quite right, Meshy gives you up to four free regeneration attempts.

Add texture(optional): For a more polished result, use Meshy's Text to Texture feature — describe the surface appearance in a few words and the AI applies a customized texture in about two minutes

Export your STL file Download the STL file and open it in slicer software (like Cura or PrusaSlicer) to configure layer height, infill density, and supports before sending it to your 3D printer. Also useful: If you'd rather describe your idea in words than draw it, Meshy's Text to 3D feature lets you generate a model from a text prompt alone — no sketch needed.
