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.
Product designers move between rough form studies, CAD reviews, CMF options, and presentation decks long before a final prototype is ready to photograph. A viewport capture may explain the geometry, but it rarely communicates how soft-touch plastic, brushed metal, translucent resin, or fabric texture will change the feel of a concept. Traditional rendering workflows can slow that exploration with scene setup, material tuning, and handoffs to a specialist. RENDERCAD gives product teams a faster way to turn CAD screenshots, sketches, or product photos into polished visual options for design critique, user research stimuli, portfolio pages, and stakeholder reviews. Designers can keep the silhouette and important details visible while testing finishes, backgrounds, lighting moods, and masked material changes across a family of concepts.
RENDERCAD helps Product Designers teams move from concept to presentation-ready visuals quickly, with consistent materials, backgrounds, and output quality across every revision.
Screenshot your SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or CATIA viewport. RENDERCAD produces photorealistic prototype visualizations in 60 seconds - no render farm, no material library setup, no waiting overnight for a single design review image.
Modeled by CADSharp in Onshape. Rendered with RENDERCAD.

RENDERCAD's AI engine understands industrial design context - product form language, material properties, manufacturing finishes, and studio lighting conventions. It turns your SolidWorks or Fusion 360 viewport into the kind of photorealistic concept render that wins stakeholder approval and design awards.

Industrial designers need fast iteration, high-fidelity materials, and presentation-grade resolution. Here's how RENDERCAD's AI pipeline compares to your current rendering stack.
Skip the setup tax. Pick the condition, material, and background with just a click while RENDERCAD handles the heavy lifting. No lighting rigs, no environment setup, no 45-minute wait; get photorealistic results in seconds.
Forget about complex prompts, RENDERCAD lets you pick materials visually from our library with over 2600+ materials to choose from. Need more? Upload your own custom material references or even MATCH complex material reference images.
Patent-pending designs. Client NDA work. Pre-production prototypes. RENDERCAD never touches your SolidWorks assemblies, Fusion 360 projects, or CATIA models. We render from a viewport screenshot - your parametric data, manufacturing specs, and engineering IP never leave your workstation.
Stop rolling the prompt dice trying to get the right background. RENDERCAD lets you visually select from over 1300+ environments in a single click. Supports 2D, 360 HDR, and even 3D Scenes.
Design exploration means dozens of iterations - material studies, color options, finish comparisons, angle variations. Queue your entire CMF matrix and let RENDERCAD process it in parallel. Our API integrates with your design workflow for automated rendering of every configuration in your study.

Yes. Photograph your physical prototype or material sample and upload it as a reference. The AI matches the finish, texture, and color - ensuring your renders match reality.
Two engines: Fast (quick results, 1 credit) and Realistic (higher quality with reference image support, 2 credits). Both run in the cloud - no local GPU required.
Choose from 2,600+ materials - brushed aluminum, injection-molded plastic, walnut veneer, frosted glass - or describe any material in your text prompt. The AI applies them to your geometry automatically.
Yes. Render a photorealistic still, then use Image to Video for orbit, zoom, or turntable camera moves. Videos generate in 1-2 minutes from a single image.
Standard output is HD resolution in PNG format. 4K resolution is available for an additional 2 credits. Videos export as MP4.
Yes. The Seamless Loop option ensures the last frame matches the first - ready for website backgrounds, social media, and presentations.
Each render costs 1 credit (Fast engine) or 2 credits (Realistic engine). 4K adds 2 credits. Credits refresh monthly with your subscription.
Yes. All plans are month-to-month with no long-term contracts. Cancel anytime from account settings.
The Fast engine produces results in seconds at 1 credit per render. The Realistic engine takes slightly longer for higher quality at 2 credits. 4K resolution is available for an additional 2 credits.
No. RENDERCAD runs entirely in your browser. There is also an optional desktop app and browser extension, but the full Render Studio works from any modern browser.
RENDERCAD continuously updates its AI rendering capabilities. As a cloud-based service, improvements are available to all users automatically without software updates.
Upload a 2D image - a CAD screenshot, real photo, or hand drawing - and RENDERCAD's AI generates photorealistic images or videos. Choose render style, materials, backgrounds, and conditions, then receive your result in seconds with no 3D model export required.
