- Developers integrating 3D generation into Python workflows
CSM
AI tools and APIs for creating 3D assets
CSM, including its Cube toolset, provides AI workflows and APIs for creating and editing 3D assets. It can generate meshes from images or text prompts, create asset kits from images, and retopologize meshes for downstream 3D production workflows.

The decision
Should CSM make your shortlist?
Start with the job, the team, and the constraints. Product fit becomes much clearer when those three line up.
Practical use cases
Jobs it can take on
- Generate a 3D mesh from an image
- Create a 3D asset from a text prompt
- Retopologize an existing 3D mesh
Before you choose
Know the tradeoffs
- API requests require a valid CSM API key.
- The Python API documents exports in OBJ, GLB, FBX, and USDZ formats.
- CSM states that its v2 API will be deprecated.
Inside the product
What you can actually do with it.
The core product capabilities, grouped around the work they enable.
Image to 3D
CSM can create a 3D mesh from an uploaded image, image URL, local image path, or PIL image.
Text to 3D
Its API can generate a 3D mesh from a text prompt and return the generated image and mesh result.
AI retopology
CSM includes an AI retopology tool for retopologizing 3D meshes.
Typical workflow
Provide an image or text prompt in the web app or API to start a 3D generation session. CSM processes the request into a mesh, then users can work with the result and export it in a supported format.
