Sketchfab
Sketchfab is a 3D asset website used to publish, share, and discover 3D, VR and AR content. It provides a viewer based on the WebGL and WebXR technologies that allows users to display 3D models on the web, to be viewed on any mobile browser, desktop browser or Virtual Reality headset.
The company behind it is today based in Paris and New York City. Sketchfab took part in the Spring 2013 TechStars New York City startup accelerator program, raised $2 million in December 2013 and $7 million in June 2015.
On July 21, 2021, Epic Games acquired Sketchfab. On March 22, 2023 it was announced that Sketchfab would be merged into Epic Games' upcoming marketplace called Fab, however this was delayed by a year.
On October 22, 2024 coinciding with Fab's launch it was announced that the Sketchfab Store (where creators were able to sell licensable content) will close, and that all further purchases and sells will be done through Fab.
The main product of Sketchfab is a 3D, virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) model viewer. It enables users to move freely around or inside the 3D scene using mouse, touch manipulation, VR or AR. In addition to static 3D models, the viewer is able to play and control 3D animations. Viewers can enable the VR mode to see the model in Virtual Reality headsets or the AR mode to visualise the model within the real world via a mobile device.[citation needed]
The 3D viewer is used on the Sketchfab website and mobile apps, but can also be embedded on external websites, notably on Facebook, Twitter or Wordpress.
Sketchfab provides online and mobile community portals, where visitors can browse, rate, download and buy user-generated 3D models.
Users of Sketchfab have profile pages, premium users can customize and share their models privately. Sketchfab users can choose to make their 3D model files available for download under Creative Commons licenses or to sell them in the Sketchfab store. With content available for sale or download, Sketchfab is positioned as a 3D model marketplace and as a 3D printing marketplace since some models are compatible with 3D printing.
