Bridging the Gap Between 2D and 3D
Vizcom introduces the ability to generate 3D geometry from photos or drawings in seconds, making 3D design more intuitive during the ideation process. This feature allows designers to rapidly bridge dimensions and view concepts from all angles without the complexity of traditional CAD programs.
At Vizcom, we’re focused on building next-generation tools for designers, to enhance your creativity. Today, we are excited to continue this mission by enabling you to generate 3D geometry from a photo or drawing. This step forward makes 3D design more intuitive, enabling you to see your idea in a new dimension.
3D models play an essential role of the design process, communicating scale, form, and materials that sketches often lack. They provide us with an understanding of how an object will feel rather than just how it looks. We're able to assess these models to make decisions, and determine how to move forward with a project.
Given the complexity of traditional CAD programs, creating 3D is not often part of the ideation process. Translating ideas from paper to 3D can be difficult, and takes a great deal of time to accurately capture the proportions and gesture of a sketch. This lengthy process discourages broad exploration, pushing designers towards early decision-making rather than expansive idea exploration.
In Vizcom, your drawing acts as the foundation for generating a 3d model. Once your sketch is rendered, a 3D model can be created in a matter of seconds. By rapidly bridging dimensions, this feature offers immediate feedback on how an idea looks and feels from all angles.
3D can be generated from more than just a sketch. Capturing a well-lit prototype allows Vizcom to reconstruct the geometry and digitize your work.
Generating a 3D model is not the end of the iteration process inside of Vizcom. Models can be viewed as layers inside Vizcom, allowing you to use it as an underlay to continue sketching and generating new ideas.
We believe these new tools will change the way we design and develop ideas. With the ability to generate 3D from drawings, we hope designers will find themselves liberated to experiment more freely, push the boundaries of creativity, and achieve a deeper understanding of their concepts earlier in the process. This is only our first step into the world of generative 3D. We continue developing new technologies and tools that empower designers to imagine their ideas no matter the dimension.
In the upcoming weeks, we will be rolling out this feature inside an updated drawing interface. We can't wait to see what you make with it.

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.
