The Problem
Existing platforms underserve 3D designers
- → Fiverr and Upwork are a race to the lowest price
- → Most clients don't know how to brief a 3D design job
- → Payment disputes and scope creep are common
- → No platform specifically for 3D-for-printing work

FAQ
Common questions
What tools do I need to know?
Any professional 3D modelling tool works — Fusion 360, SolidWorks, Blender, Rhino, etc. The key is that your models must be printable, not just renderable.
Do I work directly with clients?
Yes — once matched to a brief, you communicate with the client through the df3d platform. We facilitate; you do the work.
How is payment handled?
Payment is guaranteed by df3d and released when the client approves the deliverable. No chasing invoices.
Can studios apply as well as individuals?
Yes. Both individual designers and studios are welcome to apply.
