Meshy Unveils AI Creative Lab at CES 2026, Turning AI-Generated 3D Creations into Physical Products With One Click
The leader in 3D generative AI, Meshy introduces the industry’s first imagination-to-reality engine, bridging digital creativity and reality
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Jan. 6, 2026 - Meshy, a Silicon Valley 3D generative AI leader, today announced the global debut of Meshy AI Creative Lab, the industry's first AI-native platform that transforms generative 3D models into premium, full-color ready-to-3D print files with a single click. Unveiled for the first time at CES 2026, the AI Creative Lab marks a major milestone in the evolution of generative AI - moving 3D creation from experimental digital play to tangible, real-world products consumers can bring to life without advanced technical knowledge.
With this tool, both businesses and consumers can go "from prompt to product" with no CAD expertise or supply chain knowledge. Meshy seamlessly converts AI-generated 3D designs into professionally manufactured figurines, keychains and magnets, a major step in adapting a traditionally fragmented and technical process into a unified AI-native workflow. The AI Creative Lab removes former barriers, such as complex mesh repair, slicing, material selection, and manual painting, enabling anyone with a vision to become a designer.
"As a 3D printing enthusiast myself, I know the frustration of having a beautiful digital model but lacking the time or technical skills to print and paint it perfectly," said Ethan Hu, founder and CEO of Meshy. "The Meshy AI Creative Lab is our love letter to this community. We've automated the hardest parts of the process - from mesh repair to full-color manufacturing. Now, anyone who can type a prompt can hold a professional-grade collectible in their hand. It's the easiest way to bridge the gap between digital imagination and physical reality."
Trust the Process
Unlike traditional 3D printing services retrofitted for AI-generated files, Meshy AI Creative Lab is purpose-built for generative 3D models, acting simultaneously like a modern production consultant and creative director. The platform streamlines the entire journey from idea to delivery into a simple four-step process:
• Create: Users generate high-quality 3D models directly within the Meshy Workspace using text or image prompts, for example: "Cyberpunk Cat."
• Transform: With a single click, the interface instantly transitions from a digital creation environment to a physical production workshop.
• Customize: With WYSIWYG Adaptation, models automatically morph to fit real-world product constraints across categories like figurines, keychains and fridge magnets. The system analyzes geometry and structure to recommend optimal materials and finishes. Meshy even auto-generates a unique lore or backstory card.
• Fulfillment: Real-time pricing is provided instantly. Orders are fulfilled through Meshy's premium manufacturing partners, using high-precision, full-color 3D printing and global shipping.
To help support users, the launch includes side-by-side visuals of what the screen vs. reality will look like, demo videos showcasing the process, and high-product photography of featured figurines, including AI-generated packaging and story cards, making any creation professional-quality in seconds.
Empowering a New Generation of Creators and Consumers
Meshy AI Creative Lab unlocks a new era of democratized manufacturing, empowering users to move beyond mass-produced goods and create deeply personalized items that reflect their imagination - no technical skills required. From 3D enthusiasts and DIY creators to RPG gamers designing custom miniatures and consumers seeking one-of-a-kind gifts, Meshy is expanding the creator economy beyond professionals to everyone.
At the same time, this reflects broader industry shifts in making AI and 3D engineering more competitive for businesses of all sizes. Any company will have access to mass customization, "phygital" experiences will grow and there will be a rise in the Generative AI application, where AI solves complete end-to-end workflows.
You can find Meshy at CES in LVCC, Central Hall, #21837 where AI Creative Live will be demoed live. Features within Meshy AI Creative Lab will begin rolling out to users globally in January 2026.
With this launch, Meshy continues to expand beyond a creation tool into a full-stack ecosystem, connecting imagination, AI and the physical supply chain - while advancing its mission to make 3D creativity accessible for everyone.
