Obloid turns sketches, text prompts and photos into 3D printable models, then gives you the tools to customize, fix and cut them for your printer. Export STL, 3MF, OBJ or GLB, ready for your slicer. AI TOOLS • Sketch to 3D: draw a doodle on the canvas and get a colored 3D model back. • AI Model Generator: describe a figure, animal or prop, or attach a reference image. Sculpted mode makes characters and figures. Parametric mode makes exact parts with real sizes. • CAD Agent: describe a part, then refine it message by message. • AI Part Splitter: split a model into separate parts you can print one by one. PRINTABLE GENERATORS Pick a maker, adjust it with sliders and watch it update in 3D. No AI credits needed. • Keychains and pet tags • Nameplates and 3D text • Photo bookmarks and photo puzzles • Hinged boxes with dividers • 3D QR codes and cookie cutters • Phone stands, desk clamps, hanging planters and spinning tops UTILITIES • STL Cutter: too big for your print bed? Draw a seam, add connectors and export the parts. • STL Repair: fix non-manifold meshes before you slice. • Make Mesh Printable: rebuild broken meshes into a closed STL. • Color 3MF Splitter: split a painted multi-color 3MF into separate color parts. • 3D Print Timelapse: turn sliced G-code into a layer-by-layer build video. • Converters: turn PLY files, 3D Gaussian splats and point clouds into printable STL. EXPORT Export STL, 3MF, OBJ or GLB. Multi-color models export as a 3MF with filament slots assigned, or as one STL per color.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: 3D Model Maker at free with in-app purchases against Obloid's subscription. 3D Model Maker also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (3.9 vs 3.6). Obloid's advantage is review sentiment (14% vs 0%) and ratings volume (77 vs 7). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Obloid sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and 3D Model Maker sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

3D Model Maker holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Obloid has 77 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 14% of Obloid's written reviews are positive against 0% of 3D Model Maker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Obloid ships an update monthly, 3D Model Maker every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
