Creative Lab is Meshy's guided flow for turning a prompt or a photo into a printable object — keychains, phone cases, figures, fidgets and more — without needing to model anything from scratch. This guide walks through the available categories, how to generate and customize your object, and how to get it ready for printing.

Creative Lab currently supports a set of guided templates including keychains, phone cases, standing figures/figurines, fidget toys, and other small printable accessories. Each category comes with its own default proportions and print-friendly presets so the output is shaped for that use case from the start.

Pick a category, then generate from a text prompt describing what you want, or upload a reference photo (a pet, a character, a logo) to base the object on. Photo-based generation works well for figures and keychains modeled after a real subject.

Once generated, you can preview the object in 3D, rotate it, and check proportions before committing to texture and refinement steps.

Adjust size, thickness, and — depending on the category — add attachment points (like a keychain loop) or a base for figures so the object stands upright.

Download the finished model in a print-ready format and send it to your slicer, or use Meshy's 3D printing flow to prepare and order a physical print if that option is available on your plan.

Thin details like keychain loops or fidget parts can fail to print if they're thinner than your printer or material can reliably produce — thicken these areas before exporting. Overly complex overhangs on figures may need supports; check your slicer's preview before printing.

Keychains, phone cases, figures/figurines, fidget toys, and similar small printable objects, generated from a prompt or a photo.

Yes, several categories support generating from an uploaded reference photo in addition to text prompts.

Thin features like loops or small fidget parts can be below your printer's minimum reliable thickness. Thicken them in the customize step before downloading.
