What 3Design does

3Design (legal entity MK 3Design Studios AB) is a Swedish boutique 3D visualization studio founded in 2017 and headquartered in Åseda, Kronoberg County, with additional offices in Jönköping and Göteborg. The firm operates with a team of five named professionals (four project leaders/3D illustrators and one additional team member), serving enterprise clients primarily in real estate and property development, with secondary work for manufacturing, industrial, lighting, construction, engineering, and automotive accounts. Named reference customers include Boklok, Ekeblad Bostad, Anebyhus, Jeven, Troax, Fagerhult, WSP, and Volvo.

The company's core offering is an integrated three-service 3D production suite: (1) photorealistic or stylized 3D still images used when no physical product or environment exists to photograph, with flexible re-coloring, re-materialing, and re-furnishing; (2) 3D animation films, including advertising, instructional, and combined live-action/CGI productions, used to visualize processes or scenarios that are difficult or impossible to film in reality; and (3) 360-degree virtual reality presentations with positional movement between locations, including stereoscopic 3D, viewable via VR headsets, computers, or phones. Underlying capability is manual CGI/3D illustration production rather than AI-driven generation, with no AI/ML tooling, patents, or proprietary models disclosed.

The business model is professional services: project-based commissions priced through direct consultation, with no publicly disclosed rates or recurring contracts. Go-to-market is sales-led and consultative, relying on direct outreach (phone, email, SMS, in-person at Swedish offices), a Swedish-language portfolio website, and an Instagram presence (3design_studios) for top-of-funnel awareness. Revenue, funding history, and ownership structure are not disclosed in available sources.

Direct peers

• The Boundary: UK-based CGI and visualization studio producing photorealistic stills, animation, and real-time/VR content for luxury property developers and architectural brands. Operates in the same premium-real-estate-CGI segment that 3Design serves for Swedish buyers such as Boklok and Ekeblad Bostad.
• Vitamin Studios: 3D animation and visualization studio producing CGI commercials, product films, and branded content for agencies and global brands. Closely comparable in that its core output is high-end 3D animation and product imagery for marketing — overlapping with 3Design's animation and product-visualization work for industrial customers such as Fagerhult and Jeven.
• Visualised: Copenhagen-based CGI and 3D visualization studio that produces photorealistic imagery, animation, and VR experiences for real estate, architecture, and industrial clients across the Nordics. Operates in the same niche as 3Design with a comparable service portfolio (stills, animation, virtual tours) and a similar regional focus.
• Neoscape: US-based 3D visualization and immersive media studio producing photorealistic renderings, animation, and VR experiences for architects, developers, and real estate brands. Directly comparable offering to 3Design's 3D images / animation / 360 VR stack, with shared client verticals (real estate development, master planning, property marketing).

Emerging players

• CGI Studio (cgi-rendering service providers): Online 3D rendering and CGI service bureau delivering photorealistic stills and animations on-demand for architects, designers, and product teams. Targets the same photorealistic product/architectural visualization category as 3Design but competes via volume pricing rather than bespoke boutique service.

Others

• Kurzrenderfarm (Kurz Gesagt collaboration network): Render farm / infrastructure provider used by 3D studios to scale photorealistic rendering capacity on demand. Adjacent rather than directly competitive, but services such as this are a structural input for studios like 3Design and shape the cost model of the offering.

Broad incumbents

• Mackevision: Global CGI and 3D visualization group serving automotive, industrial, and product clients with photorealistic imagery, animation, and real-time configurators. Operates in the same product-visualization category as 3Design's industrial work for Volvo and Troax, but at substantially larger scale and with broader portfolio offerings.
