ShapeNet: An Information-Rich 3D Model Repository

ShapeNet: Explore Millions of 3D Models in One Place

ShapeNet is like a big library of digital objects you can peek into, search, and play with.
The project gathers over 3,000,000 items and sorts many of them into named groups so its easier to find things like chairs, cars or toys.
Each model comes with extra notes — things like size, parts, and symmetry — that help people and tools understand the shape better.
You can click through models, zoom in on parts, and see labels that explain what you are looking at.
It’s meant to help artists, students, and makers find models fast and to let researchers test ideas at scale.

Because the site shows lots of details, it makes spotting patterns and learning about objects easier than before.
ShapeNet contain a huge range of everyday items, and the open view of the data invites anyone curious to explore.
Try it when you want to browse 3D things or need inspiration for a new project.
