Case Study: West Edge 3D expands full-color 3D printing with Meshy

West Edge 3D expands full-color printing with Meshy using 100 free credits and 2026 Mimaki upgrade

West Edge 3D, an Australian 3D print service bureau, faced a limitation in their core business of creating lifelike figurines through 3D scanning. They struggled to build a diverse catalog representing various races, ages, and eras to serve a global market, as they could not locally scan the necessary models. To overcome this geographical and logistical challenge, they turned to the vendor Meshy and its Text-to-3D generation service.

The solution involved implementing Meshy to digitally generate and texture ready-to-print 3D models from text prompts. This allowed West Edge 3D to efficiently create diverse, proportionally accurate figures with high-quality textures for their full-color polyjet printers. The results included an expanded product catalog with lifelike detail rivaling hand-painted figurines and the ability to undertake stylized projects like an anthropomorphic chess set, all while streamlining production for their international clientele.
