3DExport

3DExport describes itself as an online marketplace for buying and selling 3D models, 3D print models and CG textures, and says it launched in February 2004. The home page reports 1.5 million designers, 600K items and 35 employees. The about page lists a headquarters at 2033 Gateway Place, San Jose, California, and names Sergey Guziy as Founder and CEO, though no legal entity name appears on the pages read.

Buyers pay per item in US dollars, with listings we saw at $19.00, $42.00 and $259.00, and the site shows no buyer subscription. Two licences exist, Basic and Extended, with Extended priced at twice Basic for the same item. Sellers keep an 80% share and pay no subscription or fixed fee.

• Per-item dollar pricing. Buyers pay for each model separately, in US dollars. Listings we read showed $19.00, $42.00 and $259.00, and the site shows no buyer subscription, so a project's cost is the sum of the models bought.
• Basic and Extended licences. Basic covers games intended for free distribution and online videos. Extended covers commercial games, motion pictures and prints for sale. The licence page gives $20 for Basic and $40 for Extended as an example.
• Licence limits spelled out. Basic allows one end product, and apps, web apps and games are capped at 250,000 copies. Extended is unlimited on both. A Basic licence cannot be used across multiple clients or jobs.
• Wide file format range. Files are offered in 3ds Max, Maya, Cinema4D, Blender, FBX, STL, OBJ, Unreal, Unity, ZBrush, Rhino3D, GLB, GLTF, SketchUp, ArchiCAD, SolidWorks, 3D Coat and LightWave formats, with free conversion on request.
• Volume discount. The home page states a 5% discount for buyers who purchase five or more products and advertises discounts of up to 50%. The pages read do not explain how the larger discount is applied.
• Free 3D Models section. A Free 3D Models section is linked from the home page, so some models are offered at no charge. The pages we read do not describe the licence terms of those free items.
• 24-hour money-back window. The home page offers a money-back guarantee if the buyer contacts support within 24 hours of purchase. The Refunds page linked from the licence page was not read, so its detail is unknown.

• A games studio shipping a commercial title. Extended is the licence the page ties to commercial games, with unlimited end products and copies. Budget twice the Basic price for each item, as the licence page gives Extended as twice Basic.
• A freelancer with a single client job. Basic covers one end product and online videos, but cannot be used across multiple clients or jobs. A freelancer reusing a model for a second client would need a further licence.
• A 3D printing hobbyist. The site sells 3D print models and offers STL files among its formats. A buyer should check whether a print for sale needs Extended, since that licence covers prints intended for sale.

Browse the home page by category or open the Free 3D Models section, then open a listing to see its price and format files. Before paying, decide which licence fits: Basic for free-distribution games and online videos, Extended for commercial games, films and prints for sale. Checkout accepts Visa, Mastercard, Google Pay, Apple Pay and PayPal, and the site offers sign-in with Google.

When we read the checkout and login pages, they showed a reCAPTCHA error and asked visitors to disable ad blockers or use a VPN, so expect that friction. If a model is not in your software's format, the home page says conversion is free on request. For a refund, the home page says to contact support within 24 hours, and we did not read the full Refunds page.

3DExport sells models one at a time in US dollars, with no buyer subscription, a 5% discount from five items and a Free 3D Models section. Extended costs twice Basic for the same item, so budget for the licence you need. The checkout and login pages showed a reCAPTCHA error when we read them.

The 3D model marketplaces list places 3DExport 3 of 12: Kenney sits directly above it and RenderHub directly below. Top-three spots are set aside for challengers, and 3DExport holds one of them; read it as a position, not a grade.

By headquarters, 4 of the 12 are established in North America, as 3DExport is in the United States.

Pricing as recorded: Per-item dollar prices shown on listings; no buyer subscription; volume discount on five items.

3DExport has no buyer subscription on the pages we read. Each model carries its own dollar price, with examples of $19.00, $42.00 and $259.00 on listings. The licence page shows $20 for Basic and $40 for Extended for the same item, so the Extended licence doubles the cost. A 5% discount applies to five or more products, and the home page advertises discounts of up to 50%. A Free 3D Models section exists. For sellers, the home page lists an 80% share, a 15% referral royalty, a Market 15% line and Merchant fees 5%, and says there is no subscription or fixed fee. We cannot say from the pages read how those seller percentages combine on a single sale.
