What is a 3D model analysis app?

A 3D model analysis application is a web, mobile, or desktop application that enables users to view and manipulate 3D models. The app may allow users to upload their own models or download models from the web. The app may also include an interface for viewing metadata about the model, including the type of file it contains (e.g., .obj, .fbx) and other information about its origin (e.g., where it was downloaded from).

3D model analysis apps share features with 3D printing apps, CAD (Computer-Aided Design) modeling apps, CAD design visualization apps, and AR/VR (Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality) apps. Two popular examples of 3D model analysis apps are SolidWorks and Creo View.

Here are some recent 3D model analysis app examples built with Crowdbotics:

  • An app to facilitate the purchase of manufactured products in the form of a web app. The user will be able to upload a 3D model of a product and the software will analyze/dissect it.

What is the typical cost to build a 3D model analysis app?

A 3D model analysis app usually costs $17,500 to build. However, the total cost can be as low as $15,000 or as high as $20,000. A 3D model analysis app with a low number of features (also known as a "minimum viable product", or MVP) will be more affordable than an app that includes all intended functionality.

For example, here are some recent 3D model analysis app price quotes from Crowdbotics:

  • $17,500

Here are some considerations that may impact the cost of a app:

How long does it take to build a 3D model analysis app?

A 3D model analysis app usually takes 233 hours to build. However, a 3D model analysis app can be built in as few as 200 hours, or in as many as 267 hours. The exact timeline mostly depends on how complicated your app is. As a general rule, it will take longer if you require highly custom designs, niche features, or non-standard release platforms.

For example, the most recent 3D model analysis apps built with Crowdbotics received the following hourly estimates:

How to successfully grow your 3D model analysis application

A 3D model analysis app can grow rapidly by focusing on a specific use case. If the app provides value to its users, then it has a better chance of getting users to share information about the app with their friends and networks. In order to maximize virality, it's important for 3D model analysis apps to help users achieve specific goals that benefit them in some way (for example, by providing them with a realistic preview of their new car design).

Risks and challenges of building a 3D model analysis application

The 3D model analysis app faces legal and reputational risks associated with patent infringement, copyright violations, and the publication of confidential information. Before launching such an app, it is recommended that you perform a thorough patent search to identify any existing patents related to your intended functionality. You will also want to research relevant trademark laws to ensure that you do not infringe on any third-party intellectual property. As part of your legal due diligence, you should also consider ensuring compliance with relevant data privacy laws in order to protect against potential backlash from users who object to having their 3D model data published in violation of their expectations.
