We count in working hours, not days
5 to 50 h
planning hours for one product model, from Essential jewelry to an unusually complex Bespoke piece, delivered with setup and colour set.
Our price list, 1 September 2026
The unit is one working hour. A level means a finished model, ready for the web, not bare geometry.
Important to note: planning hours, not calendar days:
- Fashion goods (bags, leather, luggage): Essential 12, Standard 18, Premium 24, Bespoke 32 hours.
- Furniture and chairs: 8, 11, 18, 24 hours.
- Footwear: 10, 15, 20, 28 hours.
- Bottles and drinkware: 8, 12, 16, 20 hours.
- Jewelry: 5, 9, 14, 20 hours.
- Unusually complex Bespoke pieces can reach about 50 hours.
Ask any studio for hours per model. A date without hours is a guess.
What the hours include
Included in the hours of one model:
Not included: custom materials (for example special leather, fabric or prints built from a sample), animations, configurator or viewer development, design. On Dozze, the kids' bottle was 12 hours plus 4 for prints.
- Geometry and all the details.
- The usual interior and exterior.
- Preparation for the web.
- A model optimized as far as it goes: compressed, light, real size.
A custom material is added on top of the level. Say it before the quote.
A real example: 17 items in 160 hours
160 h
of 3D work for 17 items on the Dozze configurator: 8 bottles and tumblers, 2 kids' bottles, 1 food jar, 6 lids.
Our own measurement after delivery, 2 September 2026
Dozze water bottle configurator. Our team measured the 3D work after delivery, on 2 September 2026: 160 working hours for 17 items.
The calendar was longer than the hours. Project start 1 April 2026, delivery deadline 22 May 2026. The same project also included the Shopify configurator and the design, not only the models.
- 8 bottles and tumblers, 12 hours each. Model and setup, 10 colours each.
- 2 kids' bottles, 16 hours each. Custom material preparation for 4 prints.
- 1 food jar, 8 hours.
- 6 matching lids, 2 to 6 hours each. A new lid 6, lid setup plus colours 4, colours only 4, setup only 2.
Count items, not products. A lid is an item too.
A series is faster: one standard, several artists
Our work is standardized. Every artist builds to the same written standard, so a series does not wait for one person: several artists work in parallel, and every piece comes out the same.
The first product carries the setup. Materials and light are built once, and every next piece uses them. A first product is a matter of days once the material is in, and a series goes faster per piece. Dozze: a bottle with model, setup and 10 colours, 12 hours; colours only on a lid, 4 hours.
- Raw GLB file, no compression from the artist; we compress it.
- Up to about 100,000 triangles per product.
- Textures up to 2048 by 2048 pixels.
- Real size in metres.
- A file that does not match goes back to the artist.
Bulk orders are faster per piece because every artist builds to one standard.
What makes the calendar longer
Two things stretch the calendar, and neither is modelling: waiting for your files or your product, and your review rounds.
Review rounds are the part we cannot promise. They depend on how fast your side answers and how many people have to agree. We do not keep a count of rounds per project, so I will not give you an average.
- 01Before the start: CAD files or the product itself. A product page link or photographs help.
- 02A list of every variant: colours, materials, parts that change. It decides the hours.
- 03One person who approves, so a review round ends with one answer.
- 04Each review round waits for your answer before the next hours begin.
- 05The quote is valid 14 days. After that, the start date moves.
The first product is a matter of days once the material is in.
Extra · one whole project
Example: every hour of one whole project
A configurator project of the Dozze size, hour by hour. The modelling line is measured on Dozze; the other lines are our planning estimate for a project of this size.
Modelling is a little more than half of a whole configurator project.
What to take away
- 01Plan in hours: roughly 5 to 50 per model, with geometry, details, interior, exterior and web preparation included.
- 02Rule: a series is faster per piece, because several artists build to one standard, in parallel.
- 03Number: 280 hours for one whole configurator project, 160 of them modelling.
