Sloyd is a cloud-based AI-assisted 3D modeling platform that allows users to generate and customize 3D models through text prompts, image uploads, or customizable templates.[1]
History
editSloyd was founded in Oslo, Norway, in 2021 by Andreas Edesberg and Avi Latner.[2]
In 2024, the company introduced generative AI features including text-to-3D and image-to-3D tools.[3][4]
By mid-2023, Sloyd reported over 200,000 registered users on its platform.[5]
In 2025, the company released Sloyd 2.0, which included a redesigned editor, expanded presets, and STL export support for 3D printing.[6][7]
Technology
editSloyd uses generative AI to create 3D models. They also have a template edior that combines parametric templates with AI [3] The platform provides style presets, such as “Fantasy RPG” and “Roblox,” and quality presets including high-detail, low-poly, and 3D-print-ready, designed to match specific workflows.[8] According to *3D Printing Industry* and *3Printr*, the system includes STL export and mesh optimization for 3D printing.[9][10]
Funding and Partnerships
editIn June 2024, Sloyd announced a €3 million funding round with participation from SPEEDRUN (a16z Games), Antler, and Skyfall Ventures, along with a strategic investment from Autodesk.[2]
The company was previously selected for Andreessen Horowitz’s (a16z) Speedrun accelerator, which supports early-stage startups in games and AI.[11][12]
In 2025, Sloyd received a Game Changers award from *GamesBeat* for “Adaptation and Resilience.”[13][14]
Sloyd has also partnered with Autodesk, showcasing its technology at the Game Developers Conference (GDC) in 2024.[15]
Features
edit- Template Editor: a parametric engine with customizable templates.
- Text-to-3D: generates 3D models from text prompts, with support for 3D printing.[16]
- Image-to-3D: generates models from images.
- Presets: style presets such as Fantasy RPG and Roblox, and quality presets including high detail, low poly, and 3D print-ready.[17]
- Export: supports GLB, OBJ, PLY, and STL formats.[18]
Use Cases
editComparison
editSloyd has been mentioned alongside other AI 3D generation platforms such as Meshy, Tripo, and 3DAIStudio. *Futurepedia* and *VentureBeat* noted that Sloyd differs by combining procedural templates with AI-based generation.[1] Reports in *3D Printing Industry* described Sloyd’s use of presets as a way to simplify workflows compared to tools requiring more manual setup.[21]
Reception
editA listing on Software Advice rated Sloyd 4.2 out of 5, citing usability and integration with Blender and Unity.[22]
- Futurepedia* described the platform as an AI tool that simplifies 3D model generation.[1]
On Reddit, some users expressed skepticism about AI-generated 3D art. A response from Sloyd’s CEO stated that the system’s generation quality had been improved.[23]
Tutorials and Resources
editThe company provides tutorials through its official YouTube channel,[24] as well as blog guides such as "Introduction: How to Create 3D Models with Sloyd" and "Beginner's Guide to Procedural 3D Asset Generation".[25][26]
