3D creation ecosystem
Imagine. Create in 3D. Bring ideas to life.
UbMaker turns a sketch, a photo or a sentence into a 3D object ready to fabricate. The Studio opens in your browser; four extensions carry the work into Rhino and Grasshopper.

The workflow
One idea, four gestures.
01
Sketch
Draw with a mouse, a stylus with pressure and tilt, or a pinch of your fingers in front of the camera. Drawing planes, symmetry and layers are ready from the first stroke.
02
Augment
An image or a sentence becomes a 3D object you can keep editing. Depth, pose and hands are analysed in the browser.
03
Refine
Booleans, sculpting, node editing and smooth shape blending: AI suggests, you decide.
04
Fabricate
Repair the mesh, add supports, slice in the browser and export to STL, OBJ, GLB or G-code.
The ecosystem
From the browser to Rhino, all the way to the printer.
The Studio is live. The four extensions are in beta: they work, and their public release is being prepared.

Who it's for
Built for people who make things.
Schools and FabLabs
A browser is all you need: no installation for IT to approve.
Product designers
From sketch to printed prototype, with renders to present your work.
Makers
Woven walls and relief textures that a slicer can't produce.
Research
Born in a design lab.
UbMaker builds on work carried out at the Hybridlab of the Université de Montréal on moving from immersive sketching to physical objects.
Your first shape in minutes.
The Studio opens in your browser, on a computer or a tablet.
