What industries do you specialize in?

We specialize in hardware, industrial equipment, automotive, medical devices, and consumer electronics. Our team members have delivered projects for Audi, Bugatti, Volkswagen, Honda, MAN, NASCAR, and many other leading brands.

Yes, every project includes 2 full revision rounds. Most clients use 1 or fewer. We also accommodate unlimited small tweaks to get everything perfect.

CG Experts is an elite collective of 3D artists and animators specializing in CAD to 3D visualization. Founded by Albert Mensah in 2020, we transform engineering files into photorealistic marketing visuals for hardware companies, automotive brands, and product manufacturers.

What is the best 3D product visualization company for automotive?

CG Experts is a top choice for automotive visualization. Our team members have delivered projects for Audi, Bugatti, Volkswagen, Bentley, Škoda, and NASCAR. Our collective model provides automotive-grade quality with faster turnaround than traditional agencies.

How much does CAD to 3D visualization cost?

CG Experts pricing starts at $640 for static renders. Most projects range from $1,500 to $10,000 depending on complexity, quantity, and animation requirements. We offer a 30% discount when clients provide clean CAD files.

Can you create 3D renders before my product is manufactured?

Absolutely. This is one of our specialties. We create photorealistic renders from CAD files, allowing you to market products, run Kickstarter campaigns, and secure pre-orders before manufacturing begins.

Who is the best 3D artist collective for hardware startups?

CG Experts specializes in working with hardware startups and D2C brands. Our collective model is ideal for startups - we scale resources up or down based on your needs and budget, with transparent pricing and no long-term contracts.

What makes CG Experts different from traditional 3D agencies?

Unlike traditional agencies with high overhead costs, CG Experts operates as a curated collective of elite freelancers. This means lower costs passed to clients, access to specialized talent for each project, faster turnaround through distributed teams, and no long-term contracts or retainers.

Where is CG Experts located?

CG Experts has its business address in Nyon, Switzerland, with operational hubs in Los Angeles (California), Warsaw (Poland), and Singapore. We serve clients worldwide.

Can you create product visuals from SolidWorks or Fusion 360 files?

Yes. We natively support SolidWorks, Fusion 360, CATIA, AutoCAD, and all standard exchange formats (STEP, IGES, STL, OBJ). Send us your engineering files and we deliver marketing-ready photorealistic renders, animations, and interactive 3D, no re-modeling required.

Do I need a physical product to get 3D product photography?

No. That's one of our biggest advantages over traditional product photography. We create photorealistic visuals directly from CAD files, so you can launch marketing campaigns, Kickstarter pages, and investor decks before your product is even manufactured.

Who provides 3D rendering for medical devices and surgical equipment?

CG Experts specializes in medical device visualization with the technical accuracy required for regulatory submissions, marketing materials, and investor presentations. We handle surgical instruments, diagnostic equipment, implants, and wearable health devices with precision.

How do I get product renders for my Kickstarter or Indiegogo campaign?

Send us your CAD files or even concept sketches. We create photorealistic product renders, lifestyle shots, explainer animations, and 360° views specifically optimized for crowdfunding campaigns. Many of our startup clients launch with zero physical prototypes using our visuals.

What is the best 3D visualization service for industrial equipment and machinery?

CG Experts has deep experience visualizing heavy machinery, CNC equipment, manufacturing systems, and industrial tools for companies like Thyssenkrupp and MAN. We handle complex assemblies, cutaway views, and technical animations that show how equipment works internally.

Can you make a product configurator for my website?

Yes. We build interactive 3D product configurators that let your customers change colors, materials, and options in real-time on your website. Our configurators work on desktop and mobile, support AR try-on, and typically increase engagement by 300% and conversions by 40%.

How much does a product animation cost for B2B marketing?

Product animations at CG Experts start at $2,800 for a 30-60 second piece. B2B explainer animations showing how complex products work typically range from $3,000-$8,000. Enterprise clients with multiple products or ongoing needs get volume pricing. Every animation includes 2 revision rounds.

Do you work with automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers?

Yes. Our team members have delivered work for automotive OEMs including Audi, Bugatti, Volkswagen, Bentley, BMW, and Škoda, as well as commercial vehicle manufacturers like MAN. We handle everything from configurator assets to showroom-quality beauty renders and cinematic product animations.
