Use cases
What you can produce with Meshy

- AI retexturing and auto-rigging with animation presets

- Credit-based API, CLI and MCP server
Meshy is the best-funded and most widely used AI 3D generator, and its toolset now runs well beyond text-to-3D — rigging, topology control, printing exports, engine plugins and an agent — with a large customer base among game studios and printer makers. Output still needs cleanup for production use, which is the most common complaint, and credits go quickly on heavy projects. Free outputs require attribution, so commercial users need at least Pro. A strong first choice for indie developers, 3D-printing hobbyists and studios prototyping assets; compare quality with Tripo and Rodin on your own prompts.
What we found
Meshy turns text prompts and images into textured 3D models for games, animation, product visualisation and 3D printing. Meshy 7, released in August 2026, and 7.1, with an Ultra 4K geometry mode, in September are its latest models. Alongside generation it offers retexturing, auto-rigging with hundreds of animation presets, Smart Topology for setting polygon counts from 100 to 15,000, Auto Split for separating parts, multi-colour 3MF export for printing, and a 3D Agent that carries out multi-step work. Models export to FBX, GLB, OBJ, STL and USDZ, and plugins cover Blender, Unity, Unreal Engine, Roblox Studio, 3ds Max and slicers from Bambu Lab and Creality. Developers use a credit-based API documented at docs.meshy.ai, plus a command-line tool and MCP server, and iOS and Android apps launched in September 2026.
Meshy, founded by Ethan Hu, who holds a PhD from MIT, launched its first public product in 2023 and is run by Meshy LLC in Sunnyvale, California, with a sizeable operation in Beijing, according to Naavik. In July 2026 it raised nearly $400 million at a $1.5 billion valuation, and in September it said it had passed $100 million in annual recurring revenue and 15 million registered users. It names game studios such as Nexon, NetEase and 37 Interactive and printer makers such as Bambu Lab and Creality among its customers.
The free plan gives 100 credits a month, about ten assets, with outputs licensed under CC BY 4.0, so commercial use requires attribution. Pro costs $20 a month for 1,000 credits, private ownership of assets, API access and plugins; Premium costs $40 for 3,000 credits and Ultra $100 for 8,000. Studio costs $70 a month plus $10 per seat for 5,500 shared credits and team management, and Enterprise adds SSO and configurable data retention. Paid users own what they create.
Meshy rates 4.7 on G2 from 3,859 reviews and 4.7 on Trustpilot, where it pays for a subscription, from 3,679; complaints centre on model quality and the credit system.
