Create stunning photorealistic images and videos from any CAD system, real life photo, or even a quick napkin sketch.
60 SECONDS. ZERO CONFIGURATION. STUNNING RESULTS.
Cylindo is a web-based 3D product visualization and visual commerce platform for furniture brands and retailers. It helps teams create, manage, configure, and distribute product visuals, 360 views, AR assets, and lifestyle imagery from 3D master assets.
Cylindo is built for furniture retailers that need governed 3D master assets, option-driven product viewers, AR, and content distribution for commerce channels. RENDERCAD is a better fit when you want to turn an existing CAD viewport, product image, or design view into a polished still without building a SKU configurator or visual-commerce pipeline.
Cylindo starts from organized product data and 3D master assets, then supports material variants, 360 views, AR experiences, lifestyle imagery, content management, analytics, and delivery into product pages or catalogs. That makes it useful for furniture brands with repeatable ecommerce catalogs and configurable products. RENDERCAD is lighter: upload a screenshot or design view, guide the result, and produce a presentation-ready render without onboarding a product library, defining option codes, or managing web viewer integration. Choose Cylindo for long-running visual commerce operations; choose RENDERCAD for broad CAD, product, architecture, and concept rendering tasks where the output is a high-quality image rather than an interactive commerce system.
Screenshot the CAD viewport you already have, render in the browser, and download a client-ready still or video without exports, plugins, or GPU setup.
Modeled by CADSharp in Onshape. Rendered with RENDERCAD.

Get StartedCommon questions about RENDERCAD vs Cylindo
Minimal. RENDERCAD uses natural language prompts anyone can use immediately - no technical sliders, shader graphs, or render settings to learn.
RENDERCAD starts at $20/month with credits that refresh monthly - predictable costs with no upfront investment or perpetual license fees.
For product marketing, client presentations, and concept work - yes. The Realistic engine is designed to improve lighting, materials, and presentation quality while keeping the original design recognizable.
Yes. RENDERCAD understands materials semantically - it knows what brushed aluminum should look like without you defining roughness values, IOR, or shader parameters.
RENDERCAD generates unique, non-repeating grain patterns that follow your object's form. Prompt "Oak Wood" and the engine handles scale, direction, and variation automatically.
With RENDERCAD, upload your image or snip your screen, type "Carbon Fiber" in the prompt, and the AI retextures your image realistically in 10-60 seconds. No UV mapping or texture coordinates required.
Yes. Add "Golden Hour" to your prompt and the AI handles warm color temperature, long shadows, and soft light automatically.
Prompt "Sunny Forest" or "Urban Street" and RENDERCAD generates a matching environment in 10-60 seconds. No scene file or environment map setup.
RENDERCAD creates videos from a single image in 1-2 minutes using AI. Upload a CAD screenshot, real photo, or hand drawing, select Image to Video, and choose a camera movement - no animation timeline required.
Yes. The Gentle Orbit camera setting generates subtle rotation from a single static image automatically.
Yes. RENDERCAD runs independently as a browser app or overlay, so you continue modeling while renders process in the background.
No. RENDERCAD runs on cloud GPUs, so you can render 4K images on a basic laptop or even a Chromebook. Your computer never slows down.
