The Yoga Mat That Actually Fits in Your Bag
Design student Tara Harcombe used origami engineering and Vizcom to redesign the yoga mat around a problem every practitioner knows: it doesn't fit in your bag.
Remote, an AI agent microphone
Miguel noticed engineers switching between AI agents all day and typing when they could just talk. That observation became Remote, a handheld voice-controlled agent microphone. This case study walks through his full process: sketch, Vizcom renders, CAD, form exploration, and 3D-printed prototypes, showing how the iterative loop between tools sharpened the final design.
Not Faster Renders. Faster Decisions.
How Jaren Dorman validated a Puma concept before committing to any of it.
From a Rough Sketch to a Vase You Can Actually Put Flowers In
Designer Tara Harcombe took her idea all the way from the first pencil lines to the finished piece, with Vizcom in the loop the whole way.

Bloom is a 3D-printed lamp series by Anshuman Kumar that draws inspiration from the organic act of blooming, blending spiral growth with digital fabrication to create a calm, wire-free light. This spotlight follows his process—from hand intent to rapid iteration in Vizcom—and how speed, serendipity, and making helped refine the design from screen to object.
Add-ons and the new Premium Usage Dashboard give you more control over how and when you create in Vizcom, removing hard limits and making premium usage flexible. Top up actions when you need them, track everything in one clear view, and keep your creative flow moving without interruption.

Industrial designer Jara Freund turned a familiar frustration—books constantly toppling over and shelves drowning in clutter—into the PlyForm Shelf, a modular system that pairs functional clarity with Bauhaus-inspired personality. This spotlight explores her process, from early sketches to rapid iteration in Vizcom, and how digital tools helped carry the idea from concept to physical reality.
When Rishav Kumar set out to create MAJE TD, his vision was clear: give transportation design students and professionals the tools, guidance, and intensity needed to create portfolio-defining work. The four-week workshop doesn't just teach design: it challenges participants to think critically about brief selection, how to integrate AI into their workflow, and craft presentations that resonate with industry leaders. Rishav, a Level II Interior Designer at KIA America with experience at Polestar and Canoo, started his career in automotive design through competitions and intensive workshops hosted by industry leaders. Now, as the founder of MAJE TD, he’s bringing his journey full circle by creating those same opportunities for students.
The updated Vizcom Studio introduces fully customizable layouts, a unified AI workflow sidebar, and background generation that lets designers work without interruption. These changes create a more intuitive, adaptable experience that removes friction from the creative process and helps designers move seamlessly from concept to completion.
Vizcom has raised $27 million in Series B funding led by Radical Ventures to expand beyond visualization into the broader creative workflow, serving over 700,000 designers. The funding will help deepen domain-specific capabilities in automotive, footwear, apparel, and consumer goods, empowering designers to move from first sketch to physical reality with unprecedented speed.
We’ve upgraded the Animate Block to make motion design feel as intuitive as sketching, with more control and higher-quality results built right into Vizcom. From new camera presets and frame control to longer animations and upscaled video, these updates help turn static designs into expressive, polished motion.
Modify Pro mode lets you design the way you think—using sketches, references, and redlines instead of rigid prompts. With higher-fidelity results and precise, designer-native controls, it makes refining ideas feel more like marking up a printout than operating an AI tool.
Unify lets designers explore ideas the way they naturally think—by visually layering products into real environments with matched lighting and shadows, no prompting required. Built for precision and layout control, it helps you validate space, scale, and story earlier and iterate faster.
Design lock is the formal milestone where specifications are finalized using progressive, hierarchical freeze strategies rather than locking everything at once. Effective implementation requires mapping freeze hierarchies, setting clear readiness gates, building time buffers, and implementing design chill phases before full freeze.
